Billed Through a Third Party?

  • If you signed up for Prime through Google Play on Android, cancel through Google subscription services.
  • If your Prime membership is associated with another company's service, contact that company to cancel; its refund policy applies.

Reactivating Your Account

  • Instead of canceling, eligible Prime Monthly or Annual members can pause their membership from Prime Central: for one month with automatic resume (monthly plans only) or for up to one year with manual resume.
  • You can resume a paused membership at any time at the then-current rate. A membership paused for more than 365 consecutive days is automatically canceled.
  • You can't pause if you joined through a third party, have a Prime Video only, Prime Business or Student Prime membership, are on a free trial or discounted offer, or are on the Prime Shipping only plan.

Additional Notes

  • Amazon processes Prime refunds in three to five business days.
  • Current US pricing: $14.99 per month or $139 per year. Prime Video membership is $8.99 per month; Prime for Young Adults is $7.49 per month or $69 per year; Prime Access for qualifying government assistance recipients is $6.99 per month.
  • Subscriptions on Prime Video, like Paramount+, continue after your Prime membership ends.
  • Prime members can share certain benefits through Amazon Family with one other adult, up to four teens (added before April 7, 2025) and up to four children in their household.
  • The Prime Invitee program ended on 1 October 2025; Amazon Family replaced it.
  • If Amazon terminates your membership, it gives a prorated refund based on the number of full months remaining, except for terminations over misuse, fraud or violations of the Prime terms.

Amazon Prime Subscription

Amazon Prime membership costs are going up to $120 a year (from $100). Personally, I don't use anything other than 2-day shipping, and I order maybe 20 times a year so I don't think renewing my subscription is a worthwhile investment for me. NOTE: The student price remained unchanged at $60 a year.

TLDR: quit Prime, you don't need it and it's probably not even worth it. --- I quit Amazon Prime a month ago (after having it for over a decade) due to Bezos/Amazon's actions regarding this administration/WaPo/in general. I haven't missed Prime at all. I easily find local or niche online stores to b

I gave birth last February. My husband and I thought we were ready for our first child, but nope, we weren’t. Even in the hospital we knew we needed more stuff we hadn’t realized before and ordered from Amazon and set up an Amazon Prime account. As first time parents with very little community, we k
