How to Cancel Your PeopleSmart Subscription
You have two options for canceling your PeopleSmart subscription: online through your account or by contacting customer support. If you’d rather just opt out of PeopleSmart’s directory entirely, we have a step-by-step guide for that too.
Option 1: Cancel Online
The easiest way to cancel your PeopleSmart subscription is online through your account. Here’s a simple step-by-step:
Step 1: Log into Your PeopleSmart Account
Go to the PeopleSmart website and click “Login” in the top-right corner of the page. Enter your email address and password to access your account.
Step 2: Navigate to the Subscription Page
Once logged in, click on the “My Account” link at the top of the page. This will take you to your account overview.
Step 3: Click “Cancel Membership”
Scroll down to the “Membership” section and look for the “Cancel My Membership” link. Click this to begin the cancellation process.
Step 4: Confirm Cancellation
Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm you want to cancel. You may be asked to provide a reason for canceling or offered a discount to stay. If you still wish to proceed, click “Confirm Cancellation.”
Step 5: Check Your Email for Confirmation
After confirming, you should receive an email verifying your membership has been canceled. If you don’t see it within a few minutes, check your spam folder.
Option 2: Cancel via Customer Support
If you prefer, you can also cancel your PeopleSmart subscription by contacting their customer support team. There are three ways to reach them:
Canceling by Phone
To cancel by phone, call PeopleSmart customer service at 1-267-846-5087. Wait times are typically a few minutes.
Once connected, tell the representative you want to cancel your subscription. They will likely ask for your account information to verify your identity.
The representative will process your cancellation request while you’re on the phone and confirm it’s been completed. Just to be safe, get the name of the rep you spoke with and note the date and time of the call.
Canceling by Email
Another way to contact PeopleSmart customer service is by email. Here’s how:
- Draft an email requesting to cancel your subscription. Include your account details and reason for canceling.
- Send the email to support@peoplesmart.com.
- Watch for a response confirming your cancellation, typically within 24-48 hours.
Using the Contact Form
Finally, you can submit a cancellation request through PeopleSmart’s contact form.
- Navigate to the contact form and select “Cancel my Account” as the topic.
- Fill in your name, email address, and a brief message requesting to cancel.
- Click “Submit.”
A customer service representative will email you shortly with confirmation of your cancellation and any next steps.
