What you get
- Free fast delivery on eligible items (Same-Day, One-Day and Two-Day where available)
- Prime Video included-with-Prime movies and shows
- Prime Gaming and Amazon Music Prime
- Member-only deals, including Prime Day
How to cancel Amazon Prime before you're charged
- Sign in to Amazon and go to Account & Lists → Prime Membership (the "Manage Prime Membership" page).
- Select Update, cancel, and more.
- Choose End trial and benefits and follow the prompts until you see the confirmation.
- If you signed up through the Amazon app on Android, cancel in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions instead.
Tips & gotchas
- The trial converts to a paid membership automatically at the end of day 30.
- Add-on channels you started through Prime Video (for example Paramount+) are separate subscriptions and keep billing even after Prime ends — cancel them separately.
- Students and EBT/Medicaid recipients can get discounted Prime (Prime for Young Adults at $7.49/mo; Prime Access at $6.99/mo).
