How to cancel LinkedIn Premium before the free trial ends?

You can cancel your LinkedIn Premium subscription anytime before your free trial ends.

Canceling before the free trial ends will ensure that you’re never charged. And if you cancel before your trial ends, you’ll have access to the trial until its expiration date. 

LinkedIn’s free trial lasts one month for Premium members. Make sure you cancel when you realize it’s not an excellent option. 

How do you cancel a payment method on LinkedIn?

To cancel a payment method on LinkedIn, you can follow these steps on your desktop:

• Select “Manage payment methods.”
• Find the payment method you want to remove and click “Remove.”

Note: You can’t remove your current payment method without an active LinkedIn Premium and/or Sales Navigator subscription. You must cancel your subscription first. 

What happens when I cancel my LinkedIn Premium subscription?

You won’t lose access to Premium features immediately when you cancel your LinkedIn Premium subscription. Whether you’re still on the free trial or already a paid member, you’ll have access to the features until the expiration of your current plan.

However, you will receive a notification that your membership has been canceled. This notification will tell you when your current membership expires. 

Cancelling LinkedIn Premium? Use Kaspr instead

There are many reasons why sales reps and recruiters may realize that LinkedIn Premium isn’t right for them. 

One example is a limitation on InMail credits, which are limited to 5 or 15 credits per month, depending on your plan. Others may not feel that the profile insights are particularly useful or that the membership doesn’t scale up as much as they need. 

SDRs should consider using alternative tools. Kaspr was designed for SDRs and small sales teams and can scale up alongside your sales efforts.

Use our LinkedIn Chrome Extension to access and capture B2B contact data while browsing LinkedIn. You can access a lead’s name, phone number, professional email address, job title, and company information through Kaspr and add prospects to segmented lead lists. 

You won’t be limited to 5 to 15 InMail credits; you can scale your plan up and down depending on your prospecting needs.
