Whether you’re looking to cancel Prime for budget reasons, to support local businesses, or simply because you no longer need it, we’ve got you covered with easy steps to end your membership.

What happens when I cancel Amazon Prime?

After canceling your Prime membership, you can continue to enjoy the benefits until the end of your current billing cycle. Note that any services linked to Prime will also cease, so check for active Prime Video channels like Starz, Shudder, and Paramount+.

If you haven’t used any Prime benefits and wish to cancel, you may be eligible for a full refund of your latest bill.
