Amazon’s biggest sale of the year, Prime Day, is set to start in July, but many early deals will surely be rolling in, as they have in the past. To take advantage of everything the sale has to offer, you’re going to need to be a Prime Member. If you sign up for an Amazon Prime account to take advantage of Prime Day but decide you don’t want to pay for an ongoing membership, you’ll need to cancel your subscription before the end of your free trial.
How to cancel your Amazon Prime membership
You can cancel your Prime subscription via browser by first logging into your Amazon account. Amazon has an End Your Prime Membership button on its support page to launch the process, or you can follow these steps:
-
Click Account & Lists (below your name) in the top right corner of the navigation bar.
-
Scroll down to Manage your data and click "Close Your Amazon Account."
-
Scroll to the bottom of the next page and check the "Yes, I want to permanently close my Amazon Account and delete my data" box. You’ll be asked to take an optional cancelation survey, which you can decline.
-
Click "Close My Account."
Note that Amazon requires a bunch of clicks to finalize your cancelation, giving you lots of “opportunities” to change your mind.
How to cancel Amazon Prime via mobile app
If you prefer, you can cancel your Prime membership via Amazon’s Shopping app. To do so:
-
Open the app and tap the profile icon at the bottom and center of the navigation bar (the silhouette of a person icon).
-
Click the Your Account button at the top and scroll to Manage Your Data and tap the Close Your Amazon Account button.
-
Scroll to the bottom of the next page and check the "Yes, I want to permanently close my Amazon Account and delete my data" box.
-
Finally, click "Close My Account."
What to know when canceling your Prime membership
As mentioned, closing your account will immediately end your access. Amazon also offers you the option to pause your benefits and billing temporarily instead of canceling them completely. Either way, your Amazon account is still active—you simply won’t have Prime benefits.
Finally, if you have other subscriptions connected to your Prime account, those will end when your billing is up. And if you signed up for Prime through the Android mobile shopping app or the Prime Video Android app, you’ll have to go through Google Subscription to manage your membership.
