How to cancel Amazon Prime

[ad_1]

Looking to cancel your Amazon Prime subscription? These are the steps you need to follow to cancel your Prime account.

If you regularly shop at Amazon then an Amazon Prime account can be a huge benefit. With next-day delivery and access to Prime Video (amongst other services), Prime can really have its uses particularly when it comes to accessing Prime Day deals.

For those who scarcely shop on Amazon however, having a Prime account may seems like an unnecessary expense. If you’ve decided that Amazon Prime is no longer for you then we’ve got you covered with our simple step-by-step guide to cancel your membership.

What you’ll need:

A laptop or desktop computer so that you can head to the ‘desktop version’ of Amazon’s website

The short version:

Go to amazon.co.uk
Click on ‘Accounts & Lists’
Click on the ‘Prime’ tab
Click on ‘Manage Membership’
Click on ‘End Membership’ and follow the onscreen instructions
Click ‘I Do Not Want My Benefits’
Click ‘Continue To Cancel’
Click on ‘End Prime Benefits On [Date Specified]’

Click on the ‘Prime’ tab

At this point you’ll be on the main directory for your account, where you can access all kinds of features including your orders list and any cards you currently have linked to your Amazon account. All you need to do is click on the Prime tab on the top right-hand side.
