How do I cancel my Amazon Prime membership so I'm not charged again?
24
My Prime renewal is coming up and I want to cancel before I get charged. How do I cancel Amazon Prime properly, and do I lose the benefits immediately or keep them until the period ends?
Go to Account & Lists > Prime Membership > Manage Membership. Click 'End Membership' or 'Do Not Continue', and Amazon will throw a few 'are you sure' screens with offers at you, keep clicking through to confirm. Key point: if you cancel before your renewal date, you keep Prime benefits until the current period ends, then it just doesn't renew. If you paid annually and cancel early without using benefits recently, you may get a partial refund. Set a reminder for the renewal date so you're not caught out.
Amazon buries the cancel button under a maze of 'stay with us' offers, just keep clicking End/Continue. You're not cancelled until you see the confirmation screen.
