Membership
Questions
- Can I cancel anytime?
- Yes. Cancel from your account and you keep access through the end of the period you've already paid for.
- Does membership change how businesses are ranked?
- No. Membership is a consumer product. The trust ladder — Listed, Claimed, Verified — is never for sale, to members or to businesses.
- I already support Kin's newsletter. Do I need this too?
- Not yet. Existing newsletter subscribers keep everything they have today. We'll contact you directly before anything changes.
- Where does my money go?
- Into reporting, video, and the work of putting Black-owned businesses in front of people who'll spend with them.
