How to cancel or unsubscribe from Amazon Prime
How to cancel or unsubscribe from Amazon Prime: Sign in to your Amazon account. Official path: signed-in account on the brand site. Do not use any Prime benefit (free shipping, Prime Video, etc.) after your last charge if you want the full refund — a single use forfeits it; annual plans only get a prorated refund by phoning a live agent, not through the self-service flow.
Official steps
- Sign in to your Amazon account.
- Go to Prime membership management (Account > Prime, or the 'Your Memberships and Subscriptions' page).
- Select 'Manage Membership' then 'Update, Cancel and More' > 'End Membership'.
- Click through the multi-page retention flow (offers to pause, reminders of benefits lost) until you reach the final cancel button.
- Choose 'End Now' for an immediate refund of the current period (if no benefits used) or 'End on [renewal date]' to keep access through the paid term.
- Confirm and save the cancellation confirmation showing your access end date.
Do I need an account?
Requires signing into the account owner's Amazon account and clicking through a multi-page cancellation/retention flow.
Window, fees & policy notes
$14.99/mo or $139/yr; cancel is free but self-service gives NO proration — full refund of the current period only if no benefits used since the last charge (within 3 business days of signup = full refund minus benefits used); no in-store option (digital); gift/promo-code memberships are non-refundable, and if you subscribed via Google Play or Apple you must cancel through that app store.
What you do yourself
Gotcha: Do not use any Prime benefit (free shipping, Prime Video, etc.) after your last charge if you want the full refund — a single use forfeits it; annual plans only get a prorated refund by phoning a live agent, not through the self-service flow.
