LinkedIn Premium cancellation reverts you to the free Basic account. You keep your profile, connections, and messages — you just lose InMail credits, profile views, and learning courses.

Official account or cancellation path: LinkedIn Premium

Go to LinkedIn subscription settings

Visit linkedin.com/mypreferences/d/manage-subscription while signed in. Or: click your profile photo → Settings & Privacy → Account preferences → Subscriptions.

Click "Manage Premium account"

Find your Premium subscription and click "Manage Premium account" or "Cancel subscription".

Click "Cancel subscription"

On the subscription management page, click "Cancel subscription". LinkedIn will show you what you'll lose and may offer alternatives.

Selecting 'Too expensive' as your reason frequently triggers a 50% off retention offer.

Decline offers and confirm

Click through any retention offers (discounts, free months). Confirm cancellation on the final screen. Premium features remain active until your billing period ends.

LinkedIn frequently offers 50% off for 2 months when you try to cancel. If you need the features occasionally, this is worth considering.

⚠️ Watch out

✓ Refund may be possible

LinkedIn may refund charges within the first few days of a billing period. Contact LinkedIn Help Center. For Apple/Google subscriptions, request refund through their platforms.
