Cancel USGA/MGA Auto-Renewal and Remove Affiliation

Summary This article explains how to cancel auto-renewal for your USGA/MGA handicap membership, how to remove your affiliation, and what to do if you have trouble accessing the membership portal.

How to cancel auto-renewal

1. Sign in to the membership portal: https://getahandicap.usga.org/membership/login
2. After logging in, locate and select the option to cancel auto-renewal (often labeled “Cancel/Do not renew” or similar).
3. Confirm the cancellation. Once auto-renewal is canceled, your membership will continue through the current term and you will not be charged at the next renewal.

How to remove your affiliation immediately

• If you want to be removed immediately rather than simply cancel auto-renewal, request that the affiliation be removed. Support can process an immediate removal on your behalf so your handicap is deactivated under the association.

What happens after cancellation or removal

• Canceling auto-renewal lets your membership run until the end of the current term and prevents future charges.
• Requesting immediate removal will deactivate the affiliation as of the requested date.
• Your handicap can remain active under a different club affiliation depending on the change you make.

Troubleshooting portal access

• If you cannot cancel or change status through the portal, try a different web browser.
• If portal access still fails, support can escalate assistance (including involving the USGA team) to cancel scheduled auto-renewal or remove affiliation on your behalf.

Confirmation and notifications

• After making changes in the portal or requesting support assistance, expect confirmation via the portal workflow or email confirming the update.

Conclusion Use the USGA/MGA membership portal to cancel auto-renewal or change your status. If you encounter technical issues, try a different browser and contact support to request removal or escalation so the auto-renewal can be canceled for you.
