Retention traps to expect
- If you bought Premium on iOS through mobile web, the iOS app has no cancel button at all — you're forced onto the desktop site to get out.
- The desktop cancel is buried several clicks deep: Me → Premium features → Manage subscription → Purchases → Confirm cancel.
- You must confirm at least one day before your next billing date, and refunds only apply in limited cases, so a late cancel usually costs a full cycle.
The bottom line on cancelling LinkedIn Premium
Cancelling LinkedIn Premium is a straightforward desktop task, but timing matters: confirm at least one day before your next billing date, since the plan runs to the end of the current cycle and refunds only apply in limited cases. The common trap is trying to cancel in the iOS app after buying through mobile web — there is no cancel button there.
The safest move is to cancel where you were billed: use the desktop site if LinkedIn charged you, or the App Store or Google Play if they did. Do it early, not on renewal day.
