[If you made a recurring contribution using an ActBlue Express account](https://help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/articles/16869098638231-how-do-i-change-or-cancel-my-recurring-contribution#ifyoumadearecurringcontribution) ### **What you can change about your recurring contribution** You can update your credit card and the number of months remaining for the contribution. If you donated as an ActBlue Express user, you can change the dollar amount of your recurring donation. --- ### **Using your receipt to change or cancel a contribution** Every month, we send a receipt for your recurring contribution via email. The easiest way to change or cancel your recurring contribution is by clicking the “Edit payment details” link at the bottom of the receipt. ![A screenshot of the bottom of an email receipt with a circle around a link that reads Edit payment details. ](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Donors+and+Supporters/Contributions/ChangeRecur-DonorDashUpdates/ChangeRecurDD_1.png) After clicking the link, you can change the number of months remaining for the contribution or cancel it altogether. Add our email address to your address book to ensure your monthly receipt does not filter into your spam folder. Unfortunately, you cannot change the recipient or process date of a recurring donation. If you’d like to change these factors, you can cancel the contribution and sign up for a new one that reflects your preferences. --- ### **If you can’t find your monthly receipt in your email** You can look up your contribution using our [Contribution Lookup & Action Center.](https://secure.actblue.com/cc) You’ll need the following contribution information:  - Card number - Donation amount - ZIP code - Contribution submission date - Donor’s last name ![A screenshot of the ActBlue Contribution Lookup and Action Center form.](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Donors+and+Supporters/Contributions/ChangeRecur-DonorDashUpdates/ChangeRecurDD_2.png)   After finding your donation, you’ll automatically land on your receipt. Your receipt includes the order number, recurring contribution amount, and donation date. Click the “Change or cancel your recurring payments” link under the green box, which indicates your recurring contribution is active. ![A screenshot of an ActBlue donation receipt with an arrow pointing to the link to change or cancel your recurring payments.](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Donors+and+Supporters/Contributions/ChangeRecur-DonorDashUpdates/ChangeRecurDD_3.png) You can update the credit card used for that contribution, change the number of months remaining, or cancel the contribution altogether. ![A screenshot of the page where you can update your credit card or change the recurring settings for this contribution.](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Donors+and+Supporters/Contributions/ChangeRecur/ChangeRecur_4.png)   To update a credit card, select the “Update your credit card” dropdown, enter your new information, and click “Update card.” To update the time remaining for the contribution, select the “Change the recurring settings for this contribution” dropdown and enter the number of months you’d like. You can cancel your recurring contribution by clicking the “Cancel the rest of this recurring contribution” link. ![A screenshot of the recurring settings section with a circle around a link that reads Cancel the rest of this recurring contribution.](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Donors+and+Supporters/Contributions/ChangeRecur-DonorDashUpdates/ChangeRecurDD_7.png) When you click this link, a pop-up will ask you why you want to cancel. After choosing a reason, click “Yes, cancel this contribution.” Then you’re all set. --- ### **If you made a recurring contribution using an ActBlue Express account** You can find your recurring contribution in your contribution history and change or cancel it there. ActBlue Express users can update the payment method used for a donation, change the number of months or weeks remaining, and edit the dollar amount of the recurring contribution.

Click on that to change the contribution amount or the number of months or weeks remaining. If you start your recurring contribution without specifying how long it will recur, this field will be blank.  Don't forget to click "Save" after making changes. ![A screenshot of the Edit recurring contribution page with an arrow pointing toward the Save button.](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Donors+and+Supporters/Contributions/ChangeRecur/Oct+23+Update+-+Edit+Recurring+2.png)   If you split your recurring contribution between multiple groups, you can allocate different amounts to each one.   ![A screenshot of the Edit recurring contribution page with different amounts allocated to Candidate 1 and Candidate 2.](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Donors+and+Supporters/Contributions/ChangeRecur/Oct+23+Update+-+Edit+Recurring+Tandem.png) Toward the bottom of the details page, you can update your payment information or cancel the contribution altogether. ![A screenshot of the Payment Details page that has a Change payment method option, a button that reads Cancel a recurring contribution, and a button that reads Email receipt.](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Donors+and+Supporters/Contributions/ChangeRecur/Oct+23+Update+-+Payment+Details.png) To update the credit card used, click “Change Payment Method.” Then, select a saved payment method from the dropdown.
