How to Cancel Your Amazon Prime Membership After Black Friday Is Over

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

One of Amazon's biggest sales of the year, Black Friday, is set to start Nov. 20, but many early deals are already rolling in, as they have in the past. To take advantage of everything the sale has to offer, you're going to need to be a Prime Member. If you sign up for an Amazon Prime account to take advantage of Black Friday but decide you don't want to pay for an ongoing membership, you'll need to cancel your subscription before the end of your free trial.

How to cancel your Amazon Prime membership

You can cancel your Prime subscription via browser by first logging into your Amazon account. Amazon has an End Your Prime Membership button on its support page to launch the process, or you can follow the steps detailed on Amazon's page:

1. Head to Amazon.com in your web browser.

2. Hover over the Accounts & Lists menu on the top-right of the window, then select the Prime Membership option.

3. Click the Help tab at the top-center of the screen.

4. Then tap the End Your Amazon Prime Membership button and finally click the Cancel Your Prime Membership orange button.

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed to canceling your Prime subscription.

Note that Amazon requires a bunch of clicks to finalize your cancellation, giving you lots of opportunities" to change your mind.

How to cancel Amazon Prime via mobile app

Amazon used to have a way to cancel your Prime Membership on their app, but at the time of this writing, there seems to be no way of doing so. The Manage My Membership option under your Prime Benefits seems to take you on a loop back to the Prime Benefits page, instead of taking you to the next window. If and when Amazon fixes the bug or gives another way to cancel your membership on the app, we'll update you here. Otherwise, you'll have to do it on your computer.

What to know when canceling your Prime membership

As mentioned, closing your account will immediately end your access. Amazon also offers you the option to pause your benefits and billing temporarily instead of canceling them completely. Either way, your Amazon account is still active-you simply won't have Prime benefits.

Finally, if you have other subscriptions connected to your Prime account, those will end when your billing is up. And if you signed up for Prime through the Android mobile shopping app or the Prime Video Android app, you'll have to go through Google Subscription to manage your membership.
