If you're a Tinder power-user, you're probably familiar with Tinder Gold. As Tinder's premium subscription tier, a Gold account lets you see who's swiped right on you, lets you boost your account so more people can see it, and more.

But it's also a bit pricey – a Tinder Gold subscription is $14.99 per month if you're younger than 30 years old, and shoots up to $29.99 if you're over 30. That's more expensive than nearly any streaming service.

Luckily, cancelling a Tinder Gold subscription is simple. The exact way to do it just depends on how you signed up for Gold in the first place.
