This stems from complaints made by customers who signed up for a free Prime trial when it was relatively new, in a bid to get free delivery on a single purchase, then forgot to cancel but didn’t use Amazon again for months or even years. Plus, unlike some digital subscriptions, you don’t need to send an email or make a phone call to complete the process.Īs for the potential refund we mentioned earlier, this will usually be applied if you haven’t ordered anything from Amazon while being a Prime member. It’s a fairly long process, but to Amazon’s credit, it’s easy enough to click through. Your Prime membership will stop working on the date shown on the final button, and your credit card will no longer be charged.

Click that, then “Continue to cancel” on the next page and – finally – the “End Prime Benefits” button, which shows the exact date on which your Prime subscription will be terminated. So, naturally, it will then show you all of the benefits you’ll miss out on if you terminate your Prime membership – thankfully the “I do not want my benefits” button is still obvious in the middle of the screen.

Well yes, but Amazon values your custom and doesn’t want to let you go without a fight.

On a smartphone, open the Amazon app and tap on the profile button at the bottom of the screen, then tap “your account,” followed by “prime membership” then “manage membership” and “end membership”.
