WW makes cancellation intentionally difficult — be prepared!
Many WW members report that online cancellation isn't available for their plan type, forcing them to call 1-800-651-6000. If you're on a commitment plan (3 or 6 months), you may still owe the remaining balance even after canceling. Check your plan terms before you cancel, and be ready for some seriously persuasive retention offers.
Method 1: Cancel via WW Website
Go to weightwatchers.com and sign in
Open your browser and head to weightwatchers.com. Log in with your email and password. If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link first — you'll need full account access to cancel.
Navigate to Settings
Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner, then select Settings from the dropdown menu. On the app, tap the gear icon or go to My Day > Profile > Settings.
Look for "Cancel Membership" or "Manage Subscription"
Scroll down in Settings to find the Cancel Membership option. On some plans, you might see Manage Subscription instead. If you can't find a cancel option at all, WW may require you to call — skip to Method 2 below.
Survive the retention gauntlet
WW will throw everything at you: discounted rates, free months, plan switches, motivational messages about your progress. Stay strong. If you want to cancel, keep clicking through and declining each offer. They might show you 3-4 screens of reasons to stay.
Confirm your cancellation
After declining all offers, click Confirm Cancellation. You should receive a confirmation email. Screenshot the confirmation page and save the email — you'll want proof in case any charges appear later.
Method 2: Cancel by Phone (1-800-651-6000)
Call WW Customer Service at 1-800-651-6000
Call 1-800-651-6000 during business hours (typically Monday-Friday, 8am-9pm ET). Have your account email and the last 4 digits of your payment card ready. Pro tip: calling early in the morning usually means shorter hold times.
Navigate the phone menu
When the automated system answers, say "Cancel membership" or press the option for account changes. You'll likely be transferred to a retention specialist. Expect a hold time of 5-15 minutes.
Use this script when speaking to the agent
Here's what to say: "Hi, I'd like to cancel my WW membership effective immediately." When they ask why, keep it simple: "I've decided to go in a different direction." If they offer discounts, say: "I appreciate the offer, but I'd like to proceed with cancellation." Be polite but firm — repeating this line works every time.
Get your confirmation number
Before you hang up, ask for a cancellation confirmation number and the effective date of your cancellation. Write these down! Also ask them to send an email confirmation. This protects you if any future charges appear.
Phone Call Survival Tips
Do Say
- • "I'd like to cancel my membership please"
- • "I've made my decision, please proceed"
- • "Can I get a confirmation number?"
- • "Please send me email confirmation"
- • "What is my final billing date?"
Avoid Saying
- • "I'm thinking about canceling" (opens negotiation)
- • "It's too expensive" (they'll offer a discount)
- • "Maybe I'll try it one more month"
- • "I'm not sure what I want to do"
- • Don't explain your whole life story
Method 3: Cancel via App Store / Google Play
If you signed up for WW through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through that store — not through WW directly.
iPhone: Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions
Open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name at the top, then tap Subscriptions. Find WW in the list and tap Cancel Subscription. Confirm when prompted.
Android: Google Play > Payments & Subscriptions
Open the Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, then go to Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions. Find WW and tap Cancel subscription.
What Happens After You Cancel WW?
Access continues until your billing period ends
You can keep using WW features, tracking food, and attending workshops until the end of your current billing cycle. After that, premium features are locked.
Commitment plans may still charge you
If you signed up for a 3-month or 6-month commitment plan, you may owe the remaining balance even after canceling. WW can charge the early termination fee to your card on file. Check your original agreement carefully.
You lose premium features but keep the basics
After cancellation, you lose access to the food tracker, personalized plans, recipes, coach support, and workshops. You can still log into your account but with very limited functionality.
Your progress data is saved for a while
WW keeps your weight tracking data and food history for a period of time. If you decide to come back, your historical data should still be there. But don't rely on this forever — export anything important before canceling.
Before You Cancel: Alternatives to Consider
Switch to Digital Only
If workshops are pushing up your cost, switch to the Digital plan at around $23/month. You still get the food tracker and personalized plan without the in-person sessions.
Ask for a Discount
Call and say you're thinking of canceling. WW retention agents have been known to offer 50% off for 3 months or even free months to keep you. Worth a shot if you like the program!
Try Free Alternatives
Apps like MyFitnessPal (free tier), Lose It, or Samsung Health offer food tracking and calorie counting without a monthly fee. You might find they meet your needs just as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel WW online or do I have to call?
It depends on your plan type and when you signed up. Some members can cancel entirely online through Settings > Cancel Membership. However, many WW members — especially those on commitment plans or workshop memberships — report being directed to call 1-800-651-6000. If you don't see a cancel option online, the phone is your best bet.
What is the WW cancellation phone number?
The WW (Weight Watchers) customer service number is 1-800-651-6000. They're available Monday through Friday during business hours (Eastern Time). Call early in the morning for the shortest wait times. Have your account email ready when you call.
Will I owe money if I cancel my WW commitment plan early?
Possibly. If you signed up for a 3-month or 6-month commitment plan at a discounted rate, canceling early may mean you owe the difference between the promotional rate and the standard monthly rate for the months you've already used. Read your original plan terms or ask the agent about any remaining balance.
Will I get a refund when I cancel WW?
WW generally does not provide refunds for unused portions of your current billing period. Your access simply continues until the end of the period you've already paid for. In rare circumstances, customer service may offer a partial refund — but don't count on it.
How much does WW cost per month?
WW pricing ranges from about $23 to $45 per month depending on your plan. The Digital-only plan is the cheapest, while plans that include workshops and personal coaching are pricier. WW frequently runs promotions with low introductory rates that jump to full price after the promo period ends — which is often what surprises people.
