To cancel Jenny Craig, log into your online account and use the “Cancel Auto-Ship” option, or call customer service at 800-JENNYCARES (800-536-6922), open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET.1Jenny Craig. Help Center The catch is timing: you have to cancel before 6:00 p.m. ET the day before your next order is scheduled to ship, or you’ll pay for that shipment.
Jenny Craig no longer has physical centers. Since its 2023 relaunch as a direct-to-consumer meal delivery service, everything runs through auto-ship on a two-week cycle, so canceling means stopping the subscription rather than ending a membership at a location.2PYMNTS.

Canceling Through Your Online Account
Log in on the Jenny Craig website and look for the “Cancel Auto-Ship” option, which takes you to the order management page for your next scheduled delivery.1Jenny Craig. Help Center Click through every prompt until you reach a final confirmation screen. If you close the tab before that screen loads, the cancellation may not register and your next shipment will process on schedule.
Save the confirmation. A screenshot works, but an email confirmation is the stronger record if you need to dispute a charge later. If you don’t see the cancel option in your account at all, your plan type probably requires you to call.
Canceling by Phone
Dial 800-JENNYCARES (800-536-6922) during the hours listed above.1Jenny Craig. Help Center Have your account email and a recent order number ready. Tell the representative you want to cancel, not pause, not switch plans. Before hanging up, ask them to confirm the exact date your subscription ends and whether any further charges will process.
Expect a retention pitch. Representatives often offer to pause shipments, swap you to a cheaper plan, or apply a discount. You don’t have to accept any of it. “No thank you, I’d like to proceed with the cancellation” is enough.
The Shipment Cutoff That Decides Whether You Pay Again
Jenny Craig’s rule is that changes or cancellations must be in before 6:00 p.m. ET the day before your order ships from the warehouse. Miss that cutoff and the charge goes through, even if you cancel five minutes later. Check your account for the next fulfillment date and work backward.
The safer habit is to cancel a few days ahead of the next shipment. That leaves room for the online system to update, or for you to catch customer service during business hours if something goes wrong. Waiting until the last afternoon is how most people end up paying for one more box they didn’t want.
Refunds Are Limited, So Timing Matters
Food orders through Jenny Craig are generally non-returnable and non-refundable. Once a shipment leaves the warehouse, the cost is yours. That’s the practical reason to cancel early: preventing the charge is easier than reversing it.
If a shipment arrives damaged, incomplete, or with the wrong items, call customer service right away. Fulfillment errors are handled separately from cancellation refund requests, and the sooner you report the problem, the stronger your case.
If Jenny Craig Charges You After You Cancel
Start with customer service. Send them your cancellation confirmation and ask for the charge to be reversed. Most post-cancellation charges are timing errors, and the company can usually fix them.
If that doesn’t resolve it, use your card issuer or bank. The Fair Credit Billing Act gives you 60 days from the date the charge appears on your credit card statement to dispute it in writing.3Office of the Law Revision Counsel. 15 USC 1666 – Correction of Billing Errors The dispute has to identify the charge, explain why you believe it’s wrong, and include your documentation. Attach the cancellation email. The issuer has to investigate before it can try to collect.
For charges pulled from a bank account by debit card or ACH, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act sets your liability at $50 for unauthorized transfers you report within two business days of discovery. Wait past 60 days after your statement and you can lose protection entirely.4Office of the Law Revision Counsel. 15 USC 1693g – Consumer Liability Report fast regardless of which payment method is on file.
Federal law also requires online sellers using automatic renewals to provide a simple way to stop recurring charges, and the FTC continues to enforce against companies that make cancellation unreasonably hard.5Office of the Law Revision Counsel. 15 USC 8403 – Negative Option Marketing on the Internet
Deleting Your Personal Data
Canceling the subscription doesn’t erase your account. Your name, address, payment details, and order history stay on file, and some of that data has to be retained for tax and legal reasons.
To have your information removed, email customersupport@jennycraig.com with a separate written request. Say clearly that you want your personal data deleted, not just your subscription canceled. The company can generally remove marketing data and deactivate your profile, though it may keep transaction records the law requires. As a backup, delete the saved payment method from your online account yourself.
State Cooling-Off and Medical Cancellation Rules
Several states let you cancel a weight loss service contract within a short window after signing up, often three business days, for a full refund. These cooling-off periods exist because of the industry’s history with high-pressure enrollment. If you signed up very recently, check your state’s consumer protection office before defaulting to the standard cancellation process.
Some states also let you exit without penalty when a medical condition prevents you from using the service. Under California Civil Code sections 1694.5 through 1694.9, a weight loss company must release a buyer from payment obligations for services not yet received when a physician verifies a qualifying disability; if the disability is expected to last under six months, the company may extend the contract term instead.6Justia Law. California Civil Code 1694.5-1694.9 Other states have comparable rules worth checking if a health issue is behind the decision to leave.
