Can I cancel Bloomberg by phone?

Yes, you can call Bloomberg customer service to cancel your subscription. This is sometimes the most straightforward method, especially if you are having trouble canceling online.

How do I cancel a Bloomberg Terminal subscription?

How to Cancel Your
Bloomberg Subscription

Bloomberg Terminal costs a fortune. The digital subscription? A little less. Here is how to cancel either way -- whether you are ditching the ~$35/month bloomberg.com plan or finally escaping a $24k/year Terminal contract.

Method 1: Cancel on the Bloomberg Website

Sign in at bloomberg.com

Head to bloomberg.com and click Sign In in the top right corner. Use the email and password tied to your Bloomberg digital subscription. If you originally signed up through Apple or Google SSO, use that same login method to access your account.

Open your Bloomberg account dashboard

Click your profile icon in the top-right corner and select Account from the dropdown. You can also go directly to bloomberg.com/account. This brings you to the dashboard where Bloomberg shows your subscription tier, billing info, and plan type.

Locate your Bloomberg subscription details

Look for the Manage Subscription section on your account page. Here Bloomberg displays your current plan (Bloomberg Digital Monthly at ~$35/mo or Annual at ~$290/yr), your next billing date, and the card on file. The cancel option is tucked inside this area.

Click Cancel Subscription and decline the retention offers

Click Cancel Subscription. Bloomberg will ask why you are leaving and will likely dangle a discounted rate or a pause option. If you are set on canceling, decline each offer screen and confirm your cancellation on the final page. There may be two or three screens to click through -- stay firm.

Save your Bloomberg cancellation confirmation

Bloomberg should display an on-screen confirmation and send a cancellation email. Screenshot both and save them. If no email arrives within a few hours, log back into bloomberg.com/account and verify your subscription status shows as canceled or expired.

Method 2: Cancel by Phone

Call Bloomberg customer support

Call Bloomberg's subscription support line. Check bloomberg.com/feedback for the most current contact number. Have your account email, subscriber ID, and last four digits of your payment method ready before you call.

Request cancellation and ask for confirmation

Tell the agent you would like to cancel your Bloomberg subscription. They will likely try to offer a discounted rate or a different plan. If you want out, be firm and polite. Ask for a confirmation number and a follow-up email as proof of cancellation.

Pro Tip: Check How You Subscribed

If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through those platforms instead. On iPhone, go to Settings > Your Name > Subscriptions. On Android, open the Google Play Store > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions. The Bloomberg website cannot cancel app-store-managed subscriptions.

What Happens After You Cancel Bloomberg?

Full Bloomberg access continues until your billing period ends

You keep unlimited access to bloomberg.com articles, Bloomberg Markets, Opinion columns, newsletters, and the Bloomberg app until the end of your current paid period. Nothing gets paywalled the moment you cancel.

You hit Bloomberg's paywall after a handful of free articles

Once your subscription expires, bloomberg.com reverts to its metered paywall -- roughly a few free articles per month before you get locked out. Your account stays active, so you can resubscribe anytime without creating a new one.

Bloomberg will email you tempting comeback deals

Within days of canceling, expect emails from Bloomberg offering steep discounts -- sometimes 50% or more off your previous rate. If you liked the coverage but balked at the price, these win-back offers can be genuinely worth it.

Premium Bloomberg newsletters and market tools go dark

Subscriber-exclusive newsletters like Bloomberg Markets and premium market data tools are tied to your paid plan. Free newsletters like Bloomberg Evening Briefing will still land in your inbox, but premium content gets locked once your subscription lapses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a refund for my Bloomberg annual subscription?

Bloomberg typically does not pro-rate refunds for monthly plans. For annual subscribers (~$290/yr), it is worth calling Bloomberg support and asking directly -- some users have gotten partial refunds, especially if you cancel within the first month of an annual renewal. Always ask; the worst they can say is no.

Will I lose access to Bloomberg's archived articles?

Yes. Once your Bloomberg subscription expires, you lose access to the full article archive and hit the metered paywall again. Any articles you bookmarked or saved within your Bloomberg account will still be listed, but you will not be able to read paywalled ones without resubscribing.

What is the difference between Bloomberg.com and Bloomberg Terminal?

Bloomberg.com is the consumer digital news subscription at ~$35/month. Bloomberg Terminal is an enterprise-grade financial data platform costing around $24,000/year, typically managed through your company. To cancel a Terminal, contact your Bloomberg sales rep directly. This guide focuses on the consumer digital subscription.

Can I cancel a Bloomberg promotional or student rate?

Yes, promotional and student subscriptions cancel the same way as regular ones. Just be aware that if you cancel a discounted rate, Bloomberg is unlikely to offer you the same deal again if you resubscribe later. If you are on the fence, consider pausing instead if that option appears during cancellation.

Why am I still being charged after canceling Bloomberg?

The most common reason is canceling on the wrong platform. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, canceling on bloomberg.com will not stop those charges -- you need to cancel through your device's subscription settings. Check your bank statement to see whether Apple, Google, or Bloomberg is the billing party.
