How to Cancel Amazon Prime (2026 Guide)

Here's how to cancel Amazon Prime in 2026 in about three minutes. The main thing to know: Amazon walks you through several offer screens, and the cancellation doesn't count until you click End Now on the last one. Quit early and you're still subscribed.

Cancel Amazon Prime on the web

The web flow works the same from a desktop browser or your phone's browser, and it's the path Amazon's own help pages describe.

1. Sign in at amazon.com.
2. Hover over Account & Lists at the top right and click Prime Membership in the dropdown.
3. On the Prime page, click the Manage Membership tab at the top right.
4. Click End Membership.
5. Amazon now shows a series of pages with offers to keep you. Scroll to the bottom of each and click Continue to Cancel.
6. On the final page, click End Now to complete the cancellation.

Before you cancel

Refunds are usage-based. Amazon's policy: if you haven't used your Prime benefits this membership period, you're eligible for a full refund of the current period. If you cancel within 3 business days of converting from a free trial to a paid membership, you get a full refund of the fee. But if you're on a monthly plan and already used Prime delivery this month, there's no refund — your membership simply stays active until the last day of the billing cycle, then shuts off.

Refund timing: Amazon processes refunds in about three to five business days.

What you lose: Prime delivery, Prime Video, and the rest of the bundled benefits end when the membership does. Anything you bought or rented separately stays yours.

Add-on channels are separate. Prime Video add-on subscriptions (premium channels) bill separately and must be cancelled separately — ending Prime alone doesn't necessarily clean those up. Check Prime Video's subscription settings.

Watch the trial conversion: Amazon's refund rules give you 3 business days after a free trial converts to paid to cancel for a full refund of the fee. If you signed up for a trial you don't plan to keep, set a free trial reminder for a day or two before the conversion date so it doesn't sneak past you.

Not sure whether to keep it? Run through which Prime benefits you actually used in the last month or two. If the honest answer is none, this is exactly the kind of quiet recurring charge that subscription creep is made of — a membership renewing on habit rather than use. Cancel it, watch your statement for one more cycle to confirm the charges stopped, and keep the confirmation email in case you ever need to dispute a later charge. Annual members should note their renewal month somewhere they'll actually see it — a year is plenty of time to forget a charge is coming, and the refund window is far friendlier before you've used the benefits than after.

FAQ

Will I get a refund when I cancel Amazon Prime?

About three to five business days.

Does cancelling Prime cancel my add-on channels?

Why so many confirmation screens?

Amazon shows retention offers along the way. Nothing is cancelled until you scroll through each page, click Continue to Cancel, and finish with End Now.
