Will I get a refund if I cancel my Amazon Prime membership?

Vijay Malviya

If you decide to cancel your Amazon Prime membership, you may be eligible for a refund based on the timing of your cancellation and how much you have used the membership benefits. Here’s a breakdown of Amazon’s refund policy for Prime cancellations.

1. Full Refund for Unused Membership

If you haven’t used any Prime benefits (such as free shipping, Prime Video, or Prime Music) since your membership renewal, you are eligible for a full refund upon cancellation.

To get a full refund:

  • Cancel your membership within a few days of renewal without using any Prime services
  • You will receive a full refund if no benefits have been utilized

2. Partial Refund for Partially Used Membership

If you have used Prime benefits but cancel before the end of the subscription period, Amazon may offer a partial refund based on your usage. This partial refund depends on how much of the membership term has passed and the benefits you have used.

To check for partial refunds:

  • Cancel your membership and check if a partial refund is available
  • Amazon will notify you of any applicable refund amount based on your usage

3. No Refund for Fully Used Membership

If you cancel your Prime membership close to its expiration date after fully using its benefits, you may not be eligible for any refund. Amazon generally does not offer refunds for memberships that have been used extensively.

To avoid this scenario:

  • Decide to cancel early if you plan not to renew, to possibly qualify for a partial refund
  • Monitor your usage of Prime benefits if you’re considering canceling

4. How to Cancel Your Amazon Prime Membership

If you wish to cancel your Amazon Prime membership, here’s how to do it:

  • Go to Account & Lists and select Prime Membership
  • Click on Manage Membership and then choose End Membership
  • Follow the steps to confirm your cancellation
  • Check if a refund is available based on your membership usage

In summary, Amazon Prime memberships may be eligible for a full or partial refund depending on usage. If you haven’t used any Prime services, you can get a full refund. For partial use, a partial refund may be available. However, for extensive usage, refunds may not be offered. It’s best to review your membership and consider your usage before canceling.
