Where to find and cancel your Amazon subscriptions

Log into your Amazon account, go to the Account menu in the top right, and select Your Account. From there, click Memberships and subscriptions. This page shows every recurring charge tied to your account — Prime membership, Subscribe & Save orders, Kindle Unlimited, Amazon Music, and anything else that renews automatically.

Find the subscription you want to stop and click Cancel subscription or Edit next to it. Amazon will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer a discount to keep you. You can accept the offer or proceed with canceling. Once you confirm, the subscription ends immediately, though you may retain access until your current billing period closes.

If you cannot find a subscription on this page, it may be billed through a third-party seller or app rather than Amazon directly. Check your credit card or bank statement for the exact charge name, then search for that company's cancellation page instead.

Key Takeaways

  • All Amazon subscriptions can be canceled from the Memberships and subscriptions page in Your Account, with no phone call or chat required.
  • Canceling takes effect immediately, though you keep access through the end of your current billing cycle.
  • Amazon often offers a discount to keep you subscribed; you can decline and proceed with cancellation.
  • Subscriptions billed by third-party sellers or apps do not appear on Amazon's page and must be canceled directly with that seller.
  • Check your bank or credit card statement if you cannot locate a recurring charge on Amazon's subscriptions page.

Prime membership cancellation

Amazon Prime is the most common subscription to cancel. On the Memberships and subscriptions page, locate Amazon Prime and click Cancel membership. Amazon will show you the refund you are may have access to to if you cancel mid-cycle — this depends on how much of your membership period remains and whether you paid monthly or annually.

If you paid for a full year and cancel after three months, Amazon calculates a refund for the nine remaining months. If you paid monthly, you simply stop being charged next month. The cancellation takes effect right away, but you keep Prime benefits (free shipping, Prime Video, Prime Music) until your current membership period ends.

Subscribe & Save orders and recurring deliveries

Subscribe & Save is Amazon's program for automatic shipments of household items, pet food, and other goods. Each item on Subscribe & Save has its own cancellation button. Go to Memberships and subscriptions, find the item under Subscribe & Save, and click Cancel subscription. You can cancel individual items without affecting others on the same account.

If you want to pause rather than cancel, click Edit and choose a new delivery date. This keeps the subscription active but delays the next shipment. You can pause for up to one year before Amazon cancels it automatically.

Kindle Unlimited and digital subscriptions

Kindle Unlimited, Amazon Music Unlimited, and other digital subscriptions follow the same cancellation path: Memberships and subscriptions, then Cancel subscription next to the service. Cancellation takes effect immediately, and you lose access to the service right away — unlike Prime, there is no grace period to finish your membership cycle.

If you have a free trial that is about to convert to a paid subscription, you can cancel before the trial ends to avoid the first charge. The cancellation page will tell you exactly when your trial ends and when billing would begin.

Third-party subscriptions and apps

Some subscriptions are sold through Amazon but billed by the seller or app developer, not by Amazon directly. These do not appear on the Memberships and subscriptions page. Common examples include apps from the Appstore, Audible Plus (which is separate from Amazon Music), and subscriptions to services like Grammarly or Calm sold through Amazon.

To cancel these, find the exact charge name on your credit card or bank statement, then search for that company's website and look for an account settings or subscription management page. You may need to contact the company directly if no self-service cancellation option exists. Do not assume Amazon can cancel it for you — the company that billed you is the only one who can stop the charge.

What happens to your data and access after cancellation

Canceling a subscription does not delete your account or erase your data. Your Amazon account remains active, and you keep your order history, saved addresses, and payment methods. You can resubscribe at any time.

For digital services like Kindle Unlimited, you lose access to borrowed books immediately upon cancellation. For Prime, you keep benefits through the end of your membership period. For Subscribe & Save, your next scheduled delivery is canceled, but past orders remain in your history.

Refunds and prorated charges

Amazon refunds unused portions of annual subscriptions when you cancel mid-cycle. The refund appears in your original payment method within 3 to 5 business days. Monthly subscriptions do not generate refunds — you simply stop being charged after the current month ends.

If you were charged twice or believe you were overcharged, go to Your Account, select Returns, orders, and settings, find the charge, and click Problem with order. Amazon's customer service can review the charge and issue a refund if an error occurred.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel Prime mid-year?

Yes. Amazon calculates a refund for the unused portion of your membership. If you paid $139 for a year and cancel after four months, you receive a refund for the eight remaining months. The refund goes back to your original payment method within 3 to 5 business days.

Can I cancel a subscription without going to the website?

Yes, you can cancel through the Amazon mobile app. Open the app, tap the menu icon, go to Account, then Memberships and subscriptions, and tap Cancel next to the subscription you want to stop. The process is identical to the website.

What if I cannot find a subscription on Amazon's page?

It is likely billed by a third party, not Amazon. Check your credit card or bank statement for the exact charge name, then search for that company's website to cancel directly. You can also contact Amazon customer service with the charge details, and they can help you identify the seller.

Do I lose my Prime benefits immediately after canceling?

No. You keep all Prime benefits — free shipping, Prime Video, Prime Music — through the end of your current membership period. Cancellation takes effect on the date your membership would have renewed.

Can I resubscribe after canceling?

Yes. You can resubscribe to any Amazon subscription at any time. There is no penalty or waiting period. If you canceled Prime, you can sign up again immediately and start a new membership.
