Subscriptions for organizers and Meetup+ members renew automatically to ensure there are no disruptions in your benefits—particularly if you are an organizer and don't want to risk losing your groups.
To prevent your subscription from automatically renewing, you’ll need to unsubscribe. You can find below the specific instructions to cancel your subscription and future payments based on the plan you're currently paying for as an organizer or Meetup+ member and the platform you're using.
If you're not sure about what plan you're subscribed to, feel free to follow the steps included in the article Checking a Meetup charge on your payment method.

What happens to my groups once I no longer have an active Organizer subscription?
If you cancel your subscription or if the payment fails several times until your subscription expires, it will enter a 15-day grace period at the end of your billing cycle. During this grace period, you can either reprocess your payment to keep your subscription active or step down and nominate a new organizer.
When your grace period ends, you'll automatically be stepped down as the organizer of your groups.
If no new organizer takes over the group based on a nomination from you, at the end of your grace period, we’ll notify your group's leadership members of your departure and invite them to step up as the new organizer. After that, we’ll extend the invitation to all group members. Your group will stay active under its new organizer or, if no one volunteers, it will automatically close within 15 days after the end of your grace period. You can also choose to step down or close your group permanently.
❗️Closing a group is a permanent decision. Once your groups are shut down, they can no longer be found on the platform, and they can't be revived or reinstated on our side. However, you're always welcome to create a new group if you start a new subscription.
