What a Us Weekly subscription gives you

A Us Weekly subscription delivers the magazine to your home or lets you read it on your phone or tablet through their digital app. The print edition arrives weekly and covers celebrity news, entertainment, and lifestyle stories. The digital version updates throughout the week and lets you read on demand whenever you want.

You can choose print only, digital only, or both together. Print subscriptions typically cost less per issue than buying individual copies at a newsstand, and digital subscriptions start when ready rather than waiting for mail delivery. Most subscriptions renew automatically each year unless you cancel.

Key Takeaways

  • Us Weekly offers print subscriptions mailed weekly, digital subscriptions through their app or website, or a combination of both.
  • You can start a subscription directly through the Us Weekly website or through third-party subscription services like Amazon Prime Reading or Apple News+.
  • Print subscriptions take one to two weeks to begin delivery after you order, while digital access starts when ready.
  • Most subscriptions renew automatically each year, so you will need to cancel before your renewal date if you do not want to continue.

Subscribing directly through Us Weekly's website

Go to usmagazine.com and look for the subscription link, usually at the top or bottom of the page. Click it and you will see options for print, digital, or both. Select the length you want — typically one year, though shorter terms may be offered. Enter your payment information and mailing address if you are ordering print.

You will receive a confirmation email with your subscription details and start date. Print subscriptions usually begin within one to two weeks. Digital subscriptions give you when ready access to the app or website. Save your confirmation email because it contains your account number if you need to contact customer service later.

Using a bundled service like Amazon Prime Reading or Apple News+

If you already have an Amazon Prime membership, Us Weekly is included in Prime Reading at no extra cost. Open the Prime Reading section of your Amazon account, search for Us Weekly, and tap to read. The latest issues appear automatically as they publish.

Apple News+ subscribers also get Us Weekly included. Open the Apple News app, search for Us Weekly, and tap the plus sign to add it to your library. Both services let you read on your phone, tablet, or computer, though you cannot read issues to read offline unless the service allows it.

The advantage of these bundled services is that you pay one monthly fee for many publications rather than separate subscriptions. The drawback is that you do not get the print edition, and your access ends if you cancel the bundle.

What information you will need to provide

For a print subscription, you need a mailing address where the magazine will arrive. The address must be in the United States for most standard subscriptions, though international options may be available at a higher cost. You will also need a valid payment method — a credit card, debit card, or PayPal account.

For digital subscriptions, you need an email address to create an account and a payment method. Some services let you use a gift card instead of a card. If you are ordering as a gift, you will enter the recipient's email address for digital or their mailing address for print.

How much subscriptions cost and what affects the price

Prices vary depending on whether you choose print, digital, or both, and how long you commit to. Print subscriptions typically cost more than digital because of mailing costs. Promotional rates are common — Us Weekly often offers discounted rates for the first year, then a higher renewal price. The renewal price is usually stated in the fine print before you complete your order.

Bundled services like Amazon Prime Reading or Apple News+ charge a flat monthly fee that includes Us Weekly along with other publications. These services are often cheaper than a standalone Us Weekly subscription if you read multiple magazines or news sources.

Managing your subscription and canceling if needed

Log into your Us Weekly account on their website to view your subscription status, renewal date, and payment method. You can update your mailing address or email from your account settings. If you want to pause your subscription temporarily rather than cancel, contact customer service to ask if that option is available.

To cancel, go to your account settings and look for a cancellation or manage subscription option. Some sites let you cancel online; others require you to call or email customer service. Cancel before your renewal date if you do not want to be charged again. Keep your cancellation confirmation in case you are charged by mistake.

If you subscribed through Amazon Prime Reading or Apple News+, you cancel by removing Us Weekly from your library or by canceling the bundle itself through your Amazon or Apple account.

Troubleshooting common subscription problems

If your print subscription has not arrived after two weeks, check your account to confirm the mailing address is correct. Contact Us Weekly customer service with your subscription number and they can investigate. Mail delays happen, especially during holidays, so allow a few extra days before reaching out.

If you are having trouble logging into the digital app or website, try resetting your password. Make sure you are using the email address associated with your account. If the app crashes or will not load, try uninstalling and reinstalling it, or try reading on the website instead.

If you were charged twice or charged after you canceled, gather your confirmation emails and contact customer service with the dates and amounts. Keep records of your cancellation confirmation so you can show when you ended the subscription.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I give a Us Weekly subscription as a gift?

Yes. During checkout, select the gift option and enter the recipient's name and address for print or email for digital. You can add a gift message. The recipient will receive the first issue and a notification that a subscription has been sent to them. Most gift subscriptions start within one to two weeks.

What happens when my subscription renews?

Your payment method will be charged automatically on your renewal date for another year at the renewal rate. You will receive an email reminder before the charge goes through. If you do not want to renew, cancel before that date. If you were charged and want a refund, contact customer service within a few days of the charge.

Can I switch from print to digital or vice versa?

You can usually manage this through your account settings or by contacting customer service. Switching may affect your renewal date and price. It is often easier to cancel one subscription and start a new one with the format you want, especially if promotional rates are available for new orders.

Do I get access to back issues with a digital subscription?

Digital subscriptions typically give you access to current and recent issues, though the exact number of back issues available varies. Check the Us Weekly website or app to see what archive access is included with your subscription level. Some services offer deeper archives than others.

What if I move and need to change my mailing address?

Log into your account and update your mailing address in the settings. The change usually takes effect within one to two weeks. If you are moving soon, update your address before the next issue ships so it goes to the correct location. Contact customer service if an issue was sent to your old address and you want it redirected.
