Question 1

What is the NYT*SUBSCRIPTION charge on my bank statement?

Accepted Answer

This charge is from The New York Times for a digital or print news subscription. It typically ranges from $4.00 to $25.00 depending on your plan. The New York Times often runs promotional teaser rates that are significantly lower for the first 6 months, after which the price increases to the standard rate. If the amount recently went up, that is likely why.

Question 2

My NYT charge suddenly doubled — did something go wrong?

Accepted Answer

Nothing went wrong with your account, but your introductory promotional rate has most likely expired. The New York Times commonly offers discounted teaser pricing for new subscribers that lasts around 6 months before jumping to the full subscription price, which can be as high as $25.00 per month. To review or change your plan, log in and visit nytimes.com/myaccount/subscription where you can see your current rate and any available options.

Question 3

How do I cancel my New York Times subscription to stop this charge?

Accepted Answer

To cancel your New York Times subscription, go to nytimes.com/myaccount/subscription and log in with the account associated with the charge. From there you can manage or cancel your subscription. Note that the New York Times does not always offer a one-click cancel and may prompt you to chat with a retention agent before completing the cancellation, so allow a few minutes for the process.

Question 4

I don't remember signing up for a New York Times subscription — is this legit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, NYT*SUBSCRIPTION is a legitimate charge from The New York Times and is not fraudulent. It is categorized as an entertainment expense. It is possible you signed up during a free trial or a deeply discounted promotion and forgot about it, which is common given their $4.00 introductory offers. To verify the subscription tied to your account and cancel if needed, visit nytimes.com/myaccount/subscription.
