Recent reports of renewal charges after attempted cancellation

Recent complaint records include customers who say a renewal posted after they attempted to cancel, while Dow Jones responses emphasize cancelling before the renewal date and describe fees as non-refundable. App Store subscriptions use Apple’s renewal controls. Treat these as individual reports, not a universal finding. Identify whether WSJ, Apple or another channel bills the subscription, cancel well before renewal and save the dated confirmation, expiration date and next statement.
