How do I cancel, terminate and unsubscribe from LinkedIn Premium?

On LinkedIn , you have the choice between opting for a basic account or taking a premium LinkedIn subscription.

Unlike other platforms like Viadeo, LinkedIn stands out by offering up to four different types of subscriptions (see the comparison of premium LinkedIn subscriptions ). Each one having its specificity and its usefulness.

Depending on your profile, you can opt for  :

  • The account ”  career  », Suitable for job seekers  ;
  • The account ”  business  », Adapted to develop visibility;
  • The account ”  sales  », Suitable for prospecting;
  • The account ”  recruitment  », Adapted for recruiters.

Whatever subscription you choose, the premium offers you new features that you do not have access to with a profile without a subscription.

However, for one reason or another, you want to terminate LinkedIn Premium to revert to a basic account and cancel the automatic renewal.

Some professionals are reluctant to terminate their premium LinkedIn account for fear of seeing their credit card still charged.

A very simple trick to avoid this inconvenience is to cancel your LinkedIn Premium subscription at least one day before the usual billing date .

3. What are the direct consequences of canceling and terminating a premium subscription?

At the end of your billing cycle …

  • You will see the new features of the premium LinkedIn account fly away, such as: Inmails , the complete list of people who viewed your profile, the ads posted, the golden badge, etc.
  • The accumulated credits of InMail will be permanently lost.

Some professionals find it a huge advantage to opt for a premium LinkedIn account. However, it is possible that you lose your interest in the premium and want to go back to a basic account during a free trial for example. You now have the keys to knowingly cancel & terminate LinkedIn Premium.
