How to Cancel an Amazon Prime Free Trial

Last Updated: May 6, 2021

You signed up for a free trial of Amazon Prime, but sadly that 30-day window is coming to a close. As long as you cancel your membership before those 30 days are over, you’re in the clear and won’t get billed. Even after you cancel, you actually have until the end of the 30-day trial to continue using your Prime membership (including free 2-day shipping and access to Prime Video). Luckily, cancelling an Amazon Prime free trial is really easy, and you can do it on your phone or a computer.

Yes. Log on to your account at Amazon. Click on Accounts & Lists and click on cancel free Prime. They will then give you a 2-3 day window to notify you of your free trial being cancelled.

I just clicked on Amazon Prime free trial. Now I want to cancel it but there is no option to do so. What do I do?

You must follow these steps to cancel it. Go to your Amazon, click Help (it is in the same row as browsing history), go to Manage Prime. Then where Amazon is talking about your billing info there will be a button that says Do Not Continue, click that. Then just continue the rest of the steps. It will ask you if you are sure, just say continue to cancel.
