How to cancel Amazon Prime

A quick, up-to-date guide to cancelling Amazon Prime — and keeping proof that you did, in case you're charged anyway.

Before you click cancel: the moment you cancel is exactly when proof matters. CancelProof records your cancellation — the pages, the clicks, the confirmation — so if Amazon Prime bills you after you cancel, you have a refund pack ready. Get notified at launch

Cancel Amazon Prime in 5 steps

  1. Go to amazon.com and open Account & Lists → Prime Membership (Memberships & Subscriptions).
  2. Select Manage Membership → End Membership (sometimes labeled "Update, cancel and more").
  3. Decline the retention offers Amazon shows you.
  4. Continue through the confirmation screens until you reach the final End Membership.
  5. Note the date your benefits end, and save the confirmation.

What happens after you cancel

If you haven't used any Prime benefits in the current term, Amazon often refunds the full membership fee; if you have, you may get a prorated refund or none. Access continues until the end of the period you've paid for, and you won't be billed again once it's confirmed.

Subscribed through Apple, Google, or another provider?

Amazon's cancel flow has several "are you sure?" screens designed to keep you — the FTC has taken action over this. Just keep choosing to end the membership until you see the final confirmation.

Charged after cancelling Amazon Prime?

It happens more than it should. If a charge lands after you cancelled, here's how to get your money back from Amazon Prime — and why documented proof is what makes the difference.

Frequently asked questions

Will Amazon Prime charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, Amazon Prime keeps your access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then stops billing. If a charge still appears, see our guide on being charged after cancelling Amazon Prime.
Does cancelling Amazon Prime delete my account?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but usually keeps your account so you can return later. Deleting your account is a separate action in Amazon Prime's settings.
How do I know my Amazon Prime cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from Amazon Prime and check that your account shows the plan ending. Keeping that confirmation — an email or a screenshot — is your proof if there's ever a dispute.

Cancelling something? Keep the proof.

CancelProof records your cancellation automatically — so if you're charged anyway, you're covered.
