How does membership renewal work?
How does membership renewal work?
Updated over a week ago

If you paid by credit-card or PayPal, our monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically. If you are enjoying your benefits there is nothing you need to do.

However, if you wish to cancel auto-renewal at any time, you can easily do so from your account page:

https://www.chess.com/settings/account-history

From there, click on 'Manage Account'

In the next menu, click 'Cancel my Membership'

Your membership will still be active. This will only cancel the renewal. You will not lose the time you have already paid for. Once your membership ends, you'll have to resubscribe, or continue with a Basic account.

Apple users

Please note that you must also cancel the renewal from within your PayPal or Apple account. Here are the steps:
