How to cancel Amazon Prime subscription? Amazon Prime subscription cancellation

Amazon Prime is an online service owned by Amazon corporation. It is a fast delivery program for marketplace users. By purchasing a membership, the customer receives many bonuses, discounts, and gifts. The service also provides subscriptions for its media library to TV channels, series, movies, access to the library, and the ability to legally purchase video products, books, games, music, cloud storage, and much more.

The perks that Amazon gives Prime subscribers are divided into two categories: shopping and entertainment. Amazon is not just a store - it's a huge aggregator with separate online entertainment services, and some of them are available to Prime subscribers. Those include:

• Free shipping from Amazon;
• Early access to discounts;
• Amazon Prime Day annual sale;
• Amazon video services and game bonuses;
• Amazon Prime Music.

Yet, if you've decided all these perks aren't worth the monthly payments, you can unsubscribe in a few steps.

• Proceed to the Prime's 'Contact Us' section;
• Choose the Prime tab or 'Something Else';

For example, you can terminate membership in three business days after shifting from your free trial, and be eligible for compensation. But it's possible only if you have not used Prime perks during this period.

If you have used the account benefits, you can request a partial refund, but its sum will depend on the remaining days of the payment period and the use of membership features.

Absolutely. You will keep on making the most of your Prime participation benefits all through the end of the 30-day agreement. Don't forget to check your financial record toward the finish of your enrollment period or 30 days after to make sure that auto charging has not happened.
