How do I cancel or adjust my TED Membership subscription?

Please note: "TED Membership" refers specifically to a subscription status joined by making a donation to TED.

TED Membership is not the same as a free TED.com account.
To learn how to deactivate your TED.com account,
visit this article.

"TED Membership" also is different from a
TED Conference Attendee membership pass.
To review conference registration policies, visit this page.

You can cancel auto-renewal of your TED Membership subscription through the

Membership Dashboard (login required). Follow these steps:

1. click Settings in the menu on the left of the Membership ​​Dashboard

2. click Cancel plan at the bottom of the Settings (see image below)

3. A window will open asking you to choose a reason you're leaving Membership (it helps us improve the benefits!)

4. Confirm cancellation

​​

If you have any trouble, please reach out to our Member Support team at members@ted.com.

If you need to update billing information for your subscription:

We CAN update this billing information for you, by sending it to members@ted.com:

- the expiration date of the card associated with your subscription
- your billing ZIP code

We CANNOT update this billing information:

- switch to a new credit card
- adjust the amount of your donation
- change the billing date
- change the type of recurrence (i.e. monthly to yearly, or vice versa)
- set a certain end date of your subscription

Currently, the only way to change this information is to contact Member Support at members@ted.com to end the subscription term. This will allow you to re-subscribe with the updated information.
