Rakuten Magazine Sign-Up, Free Trial & Cancellation Guide: 31 Free Days Without Getting Caught Out

Sign-up takes minutes; cancelling is a few taps in My Page. But 'access ends right when you cancel' and other traps can cost you. We ran the whole cycle and logged the steps and gotchas.

Rakuten Magazine sign-up & cancellationMagazines

Rakuten Magazine is free for the first 31 days. Sign-up and cancellation both complete online with just a Rakuten ID — but people trip over 'I only want the free trial,' 'what's the difference between leaving and cancelling?' and 'can I still read after cancelling?'

We ran the full cycle — sign-up, free trial, cancellation — and logged each step and its gotchas. The platform itself is in our main Rakuten Magazine note.

Sign-up: done in minutes

The steps we followed. With a Rakuten ID it takes just minutes.

  • 1. Open the Rakuten Magazine site/app
  • 2. Log in with a Rakuten ID (create one free if needed)
  • 3. Pick a plan (monthly is fine; switch to annual later if you continue)
  • 4. Set payment (credit card, Rakuten points, etc.)
  • 5. Done — install the app and start reading

Ending the free trial at ¥0

The trial is 31 days; cancel in time and pay nothing. Our recommended routine to avoid accidental charges:

  • Right after signing up, note a 'cancel-by date' (around day 30) in your calendar
  • Check remaining trial days in My Page
  • Do nothing and it auto-converts to paid (switch to annual for a cheaper rate)
  • '31 days' is for first-time users; a Rakuten ID that used it before may not qualify

Cancellation: steps and gotchas

Cancel anytime from My Page — no phone call. But note that cancelling ends access right away.

  • No guarantee of reading to term — finish reading, then cancel
  • Always confirm completion via the email / My Page after cancelling

Cancel vs withdraw

Easy to confuse, but very different. To end just the free trial, you want 'cancel.'

  • Cancel: stop Rakuten Magazine's subscription. You stay a Rakuten member and keep points
  • Withdraw: quit your Rakuten ID entirely — you lose access to Ichiba etc. and forfeit points
  • To end the trial or just stop charges, 'cancel' is all you need
  • Withdrawing affects other Rakuten services, so it's usually unnecessary

Payment, device changes and login snags

  • Payment: credit card, Rakuten points, etc.; a Rakuten Card earns points
  • Device change: log in with the same Rakuten ID to keep reading (up to 5 devices)
  • Can't log in: it's your Rakuten ID — recover via Rakuten's ID/password reset (no magazine-only ID)
  • Hit the 5-device cap: de-register an unused device, then add the new one

장점 (좋았던 점)

  • Sign-up and cancellation complete online in minutes
  • 31-day free trial makes it risk-free
  • Runs on a Rakuten ID — no separate account
  • Registers up to 5 devices; easy on phone changes
  • Pay with Rakuten points; earn points via Rakuten Card

단점 (아쉬운 점)

  • Cancelling generally ends access immediately (check the billing date)
  • The trial is first-time only; prior-use IDs may not qualify
  • Cancel and withdraw are easy to confuse
  • Mid-term annual refunds depend on the terms

자주 묻는 질문

How long is the Rakuten Magazine free trial?

31 days for first-time users. Cancel in time and you pay nothing. A Rakuten ID that has used the trial before may not qualify.

Can I cancel after just the free trial?

Yes. Cancel during the 31-day trial and it's ¥0. To avoid accidental charges, note a cancel-by date in your calendar right after signing up.

Can I still read after cancelling?

Generally no. There's no guarantee of reading to the end of the term, so finish reading and cancel just before the billing date.

What's the difference between cancel and withdraw?

Cancel stops the Rakuten Magazine subscription while keeping your Rakuten membership and points. Withdraw quits your Rakuten ID entirely, cutting off other Rakuten services and forfeiting points. For just the free trial, choose cancel.

Can I keep reading after changing phones?

Yes. Log in with the same Rakuten ID on the new device. One account registers up to 5 devices; at the cap, de-register an unused one to add another.

What payment methods work?

Credit cards, Rakuten points and more. A Rakuten Card earns points more easily, and you can apply limited-time points to the fee.
