This section should be helpful if your loved one has a Weight Watchers membership that you have to cancel. Below are the steps necessary to delete your loved one’s account. Once you delete their account, it will no longer be active under Weight Watchers. This will stop any further charges or notifications from coming to your loved one.
Step 1: Follow the previous steps
Just like the above steps, you can go online to check out your loved one’s membership and see exactly what they have activated at the moment. Maybe it’s just a short-term trial, or it may be a longer commitment.
