While prices have increased in recent years, you still get loads of benefits for just £8.99/$14.99 per month or £95/$139 per year.

If you’ve never signed up before, you can get a 30-day free trial and avoid being charged any extra. However, to avoid further charges, you’ll need to cancel your membership before the trial ends.

Equally, if you’ve had Prime for a while and have had enough of it, it may also be the right time to cancel. Don’t worry, your benefits won’t be taken away until you’re due to be charged.

Sign in to your account if you haven’t used the app before, then follow these steps:

  1. Tap hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) at the bottom right
  2. Tap ‘Prime’, then ‘Prime’ again
  3. Tap the down arrow next to the Prime logo at the top, then ‘Manage my membership’
  4. Tap ‘Manage membership’ at the top of the screen, then ‘Update, cancel and more’

As mentioned in the screenshot above, your Prime benefits will still be available until the end of your subscription or trial.

Of course, you can also use the web browser on your mobile device to cancel Prime, but it’ll look similar to the desktop method.

On desktop, you’ll need to cancel via the website. The method is consistent across all web browsers and devices:

  1. Open a web browser and head to the Amazon website in your country (such as the UK or US )
  2. Sign in to your account if you haven’t done so already
  3. Hover over ‘Account & Lists’, then click ‘Your Account’

If you’ve paid for Prime but have not used any of its benefits, you can request a refund.

If you see a summary of your membership and management options at the top of the screen, you have a subscription. But you just see the benefits or free trial advertised, you aren’t.
