How to Cancel Amazon Prime and Stop Being Charged

Amazon Prime is one of the most commonly forgotten subscriptions — the charge often appears as "AMAZON PRIME" or "AMZN PRIME" on statements. Here is how to cancel it in under 2 minutes and whether you can get a refund.

How to cancel Amazon Prime membership

01Go to amazon.com and sign in to your account
02Hover over Account & Lists in the top right, then click Prime Membership
03Click Manage Membership
04Click End Membership
05Amazon will show you a benefits reminder — click Continue to Cancel
06Choose whether to cancel immediately or at end of period, then confirm

Shortcut: go directly to amazon.com/mc to reach your membership page instantly.

How to cancel an Amazon Prime free trial

If you are still in the free trial period, the steps are the same — but the button will say End Trial instead of End Membership. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged the full annual or monthly fee.

Amazon sends a reminder email 3 days before your trial converts to a paid membership. Do not rely on this — cancel as soon as you know you do not want to continue.

Can you get a refund when you cancel Amazon Prime?

Amazon's refund policy depends on whether you have used any Prime benefits since your last charge:

Cancelled within 3 days, no benefits usedFull refund
Cancelled within 3 days, some benefits usedPartial refund (pro-rata)
Cancelled after 3 daysNo refund — access continues until period ends

To request a refund, contact Amazon customer service via chat at amazon.com/contact-us after cancelling.

If you mainly use Prime for delivery, calculate how much you actually spend on Amazon per year. If it is less than the Prime membership cost in delivery fees, it is worth cancelling.

How to cancel Amazon Prime on iPhone or Android

You cannot cancel through the Amazon app. Open a browser on your phone and go to amazon.com, then follow the same steps above. Make sure you are signed in to the correct account.

Frequently asked questions

Does cancelling Amazon Prime cancel Prime Video?
Yes. Prime Video is included in the Prime membership. Cancelling Prime removes access to Prime Video at the end of your billing period.
I cancelled Prime but I am still being charged — what do I do?
Check that you cancelled on the correct Amazon account. Many people have multiple accounts and cancel the wrong one. Contact Amazon support with your bank statement if charges continue.
Can I share Prime with family members?
Yes, Amazon Household allows you to share Prime benefits with one adult and up to 4 teens and children. If someone else in your household uses Prime, consider sharing rather than cancelling.
Can I cancel Amazon Prime and keep Prime Video separately?
Yes. Amazon now offers a standalone Prime Video subscription that is cheaper than full Prime. This is available in most countries.
