What you get with a US Weekly subscription

US Weekly is a celebrity and entertainment magazine published by Dotdash Meredith. A subscription delivers the print magazine to your home each week, or you can read it digitally through their website and mobile app. The magazine covers celebrity news, fashion, relationships, and entertainment industry stories.

Print subscriptions arrive weekly in your mailbox. Digital subscriptions give you immediate access to new content online and through the US Weekly app on phones and tablets. Many people choose print, digital, or a combination of both depending on how they prefer to read.

Subscription prices vary depending on the length of your commitment and whether you choose print, digital, or both. Promotional rates are common, especially during holiday periods and back-to-school sales. The standard price for a one-year print subscription is typically higher than a discounted promotional rate, but exact amounts change based on current offers.

Key Takeaways

  • US Weekly subscriptions come in three formats: print only, digital only, or print plus digital combined.
  • Print magazines arrive weekly, while digital access is immediate through the website and mobile app.
  • Subscription length affects price — longer commitments usually cost less per issue than shorter ones.
  • You can pause, cancel, or modify your subscription through your account on the US Weekly website.
  • Student discounts and promotional rates are sometimes available but vary by time of year.

Print subscriptions and delivery

Print subscriptions deliver a new issue to your mailbox each week. Delivery typically takes 7 to 10 business days after the magazine is published, so you receive it slightly after the cover date. If you live outside the continental United States, shipping costs are higher and delivery takes longer.

Your subscription begins with the next available issue after your order is processed, not necessarily the current week's issue. If you order mid-week, you may receive the following week's magazine first. You can contact US Weekly's customer service to request a specific start date if you have a preference.

Digital subscriptions and app access

Digital subscriptions let you read US Weekly on your computer, phone, or tablet through the US Weekly website and official mobile app. New content updates throughout the day, so you see breaking celebrity news as it happens rather than waiting for the weekly print edition. You can search past articles and save stories to read later.

The US Weekly app is available on iOS and Android. You log in with the email and password you created when you subscribed. Digital access begins immediately after your subscription is confirmed, unlike print subscriptions which take a week or more to arrive.

How much subscriptions cost

Subscription prices depend on the format you choose and how long you commit. Print-only subscriptions cost more per year than digital-only subscriptions. A combined print-plus-digital subscription costs more than either format alone but less than buying both separately.

Promotional rates are frequently offered and may be significantly lower than the standard price. These promotions appear on the US Weekly website, in email offers, and through third-party subscription services. Standard rates without a promotion are higher, but the exact amount varies by the time you subscribe and the length of commitment you choose.

Your credit card is charged according to your subscription term — either upfront for the full year, or in installments if you choose a monthly plan. Most subscriptions renew automatically, so your card will be charged again when your current subscription ends unless you cancel beforehand.

How to start, pause, or cancel

To start a subscription, visit the US Weekly website and select the subscription option you want. You enter your mailing address for print delivery and your email address for digital access. You provide payment information and confirm your order. The subscription begins processing immediately.

To manage an existing subscription, log into your account on the US Weekly website. From your account dashboard, you can view your subscription status, update your mailing address, change your payment method, or pause your subscription temporarily. Pausing stops charges without canceling, so you can resume later.

To cancel, go to your account settings and select the cancel option. US Weekly will ask why you are canceling but does not require a reason. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, so you continue to receive issues you have already paid for. If you cancel mid-subscription, you typically cannot get a refund for unused time.

Student discounts and special offers

US Weekly occasionally offers discounts for students, military members, and first-time subscribers. These promotions are not always active, so check the subscription page to see what is currently available. Student discounts usually require verification through a service like SheerID or Student Beans.

Holiday sales, back-to-school promotions, and Black Friday deals often include discounted subscription rates. These offers appear on the US Weekly website and in email newsletters. Signing up for the US Weekly email list is one way to learn about upcoming promotions before they are widely advertised.

What happens if you do not receive your magazine

If your print subscription does not arrive within 10 business days of the cover date, contact US Weekly customer service through their website. Have your subscription number ready, which appears on your account page. Customer service can check the delivery status and resend a missing issue if needed.

Address changes can delay delivery. If you move, update your mailing address in your account at least two weeks before the move so your subscription follows you. If you update your address after you have already missed an issue, customer service may send a replacement copy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I give a US Weekly subscription as a gift?

Yes. The US Weekly website has a gift subscription option where you enter the recipient's name and mailing address. You can choose the subscription length and format. Gift subscriptions typically include a gift announcement card. The recipient receives a notice that their subscription is starting but does not see the price you paid.

What is the difference between print and digital?

Print arrives weekly in your mailbox about a week after publication. Digital updates throughout the day on the website and app, so you see breaking news immediately. Print is better if you like reading a physical magazine; digital is better if you want current information and do not want to store back issues.

Can I change my subscription after I buy it?

Yes. Log into your account and you can update your mailing address, change your payment method, or switch between print and digital. You cannot usually change the subscription length mid-term, but you can cancel and start a new subscription with different terms when your current one ends.

Do I get a refund if I cancel?

Refunds for unused time are not standard. Most subscriptions are non-refundable once your order is processed. However, if you cancel within a few days of ordering, some customer service representatives may issue a refund. Contact customer service immediately if you want to ask about this option.

How do I log into the US Weekly app if I have a print subscription?

Print and digital subscriptions use the same login. Use the email address and password you created when you subscribed. If you have a print-only subscription and want digital access, you may need to upgrade your subscription to add digital, or purchase a separate digital subscription.
