Last updated: September 1, 2026
Amazon Prime is one of the most popular subscriptions worldwide—but it's also one of the most canceled. Whether you're tired of paying $139/year, forgot you signed up for a free trial, or just want to save money, you've come to the right place.
In this guide, I'll walk you through exactly how to cancel Amazon Prime in every major country: US, UK, Canada, India, Australia, Germany, and more. I'll also cover refund policies, what happens after cancellation, and answers to common questions.
Quick Answer: To cancel Amazon Prime, log in to your local Amazon website (e.g., amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.ca), go to Account & Lists → Your Prime Membership → Manage Membership, and click End Membership or Cancel Membership. Confirm your cancellation. You'll keep benefits until your current billing period ends.
Does the Cancellation Process Differ by Country?
Yes, it does. While the core steps are similar, there are important differences:
- Website domain: You must cancel on the Amazon website you signed up with (e.g., amazon.co.uk for UK users).
- Button labels: "End Membership" vs. "Cancel Membership" vs. "Mitgliedschaft beenden" (German).
- Refund policies: Vary significantly by country (see table below).
- App Store vs. direct: In some countries, if you subscribed via the Android app, you must cancel through Google Play.
