Where to find and cancel your Amazon subscriptions
To cancel an Amazon subscription, go to your Amazon account, select Returns, Orders & Subscriptions from the menu, then click Your Subscriptions. You will see a list of every active subscription tied to your account — this includes Prime, Subscribe & Save orders, Kindle Unlimited, Amazon Music, and any other recurring charges. Find the subscription you want to stop, click Manage next to it, then select Cancel Subscription. The cancellation takes effect when ready, though you may keep access until the end of your current billing period depending on the subscription type.
If you subscribed through a third-party app or website using your Amazon account, you may need to cancel through that service instead. For example, if you signed up for a streaming service using "Login with Amazon," you should cancel directly with that company, not through Amazon's subscription page. Check your email receipts to see where the charge originates.
Some subscriptions, like Amazon Prime, can also be cancelled from your Prime Membership page. Others, like Subscribe & Save, cancel from the Your Orders section — find the item, click Manage Subscription, and choose to cancel or skip the next delivery.
Key Takeaways
- Go to Your Subscriptions in your Amazon account to see all active recurring charges in one place.
- Click Manage next to the subscription you want to stop, then select Cancel Subscription to stop future charges.
- Cancellation is when ready, but you may keep access through the end of your current billing cycle.
- If you subscribed through a third-party app using your Amazon login, cancel directly with that company instead.
- Subscribe & Save orders cancel from Your Orders, not from the subscriptions page.
What happens after you cancel
When you cancel, Amazon stops charging you on the next billing date. If you cancel mid-cycle, you keep access to the subscription until that date arrives — you do not get a refund for the time remaining. For example, if your Prime membership renews on the 15th and you cancel on the 10th, you can still use Prime until the 15th.
For Subscribe & Save, cancelling stops future deliveries but does not affect orders already placed. If you want to skip just one delivery without cancelling entirely, use the Skip Next Delivery option instead of cancelling.
Amazon sends a confirmation email when you cancel. Check your inbox or spam folder to confirm the cancellation went through. If you do not receive one within a few minutes, log back into your account and verify the subscription no longer appears on your subscriptions list.
Cancelling Prime membership specifically
Amazon Prime cancellation works the same way as other subscriptions, but you can also cancel from your Prime Membership page. Go to Account & Lists, select Your Prime Membership, then click Manage Membership. From there, select End Membership. You will see the date your current membership ends and the option to cancel.
If you have a Prime membership bundled with other services — such as Prime Video, Prime Music, or Prime Reading — cancelling Prime stops all of them. If you want to keep only Prime Video or Music, you must cancel Prime and then subscribe to those services separately at their individual prices.
Prime members sometimes see an option to pause their membership instead of cancelling. This temporarily stops charges for a set period, usually 3 to 12 months, and then resumes automatically. Pausing is useful if you think you might return later.
Cancelling Subscribe & Save orders
Subscribe & Save is Amazon's recurring delivery program for household items, groceries, and other products. To cancel a Subscribe & Save order, go to Your Orders, find the item, and click Manage Subscription. You will see options to change the delivery frequency, skip the next delivery, or cancel entirely. Select Cancel Subscription to stop future deliveries.
Unlike Prime, cancelling a Subscribe & Save item does not affect other Subscribe & Save orders on your account. You can cancel one item and keep others running. If you want to pause instead of cancel, use Skip Next Delivery — you can skip up to three deliveries in a row before Amazon asks you to either resume or cancel.
Subscribe & Save orders sometimes offer a discount — often 5 to 20 percent off the regular price. When you cancel, you lose that discount if you reorder the item later at the regular price.
Cancelling Kindle Unlimited and digital subscriptions
Kindle Unlimited, Amazon Music, and other digital subscriptions cancel from your Your Subscriptions page. Find the service, click Manage, and select Cancel Subscription. Access ends on your next billing date, and you lose the ability to read Kindle Unlimited books or stream music when ready after cancellation, though you keep any books you purchased outright.
Some digital subscriptions offer a free trial period. If you cancel during the trial, you are not charged at all. If you cancel after the trial ends, you are charged for the current month but not for future months.
If you subscribed to a Kindle publication — like a magazine or newspaper — through your Kindle device, you can also cancel from the device itself. Go to Manage Your Content and Devices on Amazon's website, find the publication, and select Cancel Subscription.
Stopping charges from third-party sellers and apps
Some third-party sellers and apps use Amazon Pay or your Amazon account to charge you for subscriptions. These do not always appear on your Amazon subscriptions page. To find them, go to Login & Security in your account settings, scroll to Login with Amazon, and click Manage. This shows all apps and websites that have permission to charge your Amazon account. You can revoke access to any app from this page, which stops future charges.
If you see a charge from a third party on your Amazon payment method but cannot find it in your subscriptions list, check your email for a receipt that shows the merchant's name. Contact that merchant directly to cancel, or revoke their access through your Login with Amazon settings.
If you were charged for something you did not authorize, report it to Amazon. Go to Your Orders, find the charge, click the order, and select Report an Issue. Amazon can investigate and potentially reverse the charge.
Preventing unwanted charges and tracking subscriptions
Review your Your Subscriptions page once a month to catch subscriptions you forgot about. Many people sign up for free trials and forget to cancel before being charged. Set a phone reminder for a few days before a trial ends if you do not want to continue.
Check your credit card or bank statement monthly for Amazon charges. Subscriptions sometimes renew under names that are hard to recognize, especially if they come from third-party apps. If you see a charge you do not recognize, search your email for the receipt or contact Amazon's customer service.
If you share your Amazon account with family members, ask them to tell you before they start a subscription. Shared accounts can accumulate subscriptions quickly, and you may not notice charges until they add up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get a refund if I cancel mid-cycle?
No. When you cancel, you keep access through the end of your current billing period, but Amazon does not refund the unused portion. If your subscription renews on the 15th and you cancel on the 10th, you use the service for five more days at no extra charge, but you do not get money back.
Can I cancel a subscription on my phone or tablet?
Yes. Open the Amazon app, go to Account, select Your Subscriptions, find the subscription, tap Manage, and select Cancel Subscription. The process is the same as on a computer.
What if I cancel Prime by mistake?
You can restart your Prime membership at any time by going to your Prime membership page and selecting Restart Membership. You will be charged the current Prime price, which may differ from what you paid before.
Why am I still being charged after I cancelled?
Check your confirmation email to see the exact cancellation date. If you cancelled mid-cycle, you may be charged one more time for the remainder of that cycle. If the charge happened after the cancellation date, log into your account and verify the subscription is gone. If it still appears, contact Amazon customer service.
Can I cancel a subscription someone else started on my account?
Yes, if you have access to the account. Go to Your Subscriptions and cancel it the same way you would cancel your own. If the account is not yours, ask the account owner to cancel it, or contact Amazon to explain the situation.
