How to cancel subscriptions on Amazon Prime Video?
Navigating subscriptions on Amazon Prime Video is a relatively straightforward process, but it’s essential to understand the distinction between the two main types of subscriptions: Prime Video Channels and Prime Membership. Each type requires a slightly different approach when it comes to cancellation.
Prime Video Channels:
Prime Video Channels offer access to a variety of individual channels, such as Starz or CBS All Access, which can be added to your Prime Video account. Cancelling a Prime Video Channel subscription involves a few simple steps:
-
Access Your Account & Settings: Begin by navigating to your Account & Settings section on Prime Video.
-
Select Your Account or Prime Video Channels: Depending on the layout and options available, locate either “Your Account” or “Prime Video Channels” to proceed further.
-
Locate the Subscription: Once in the appropriate section, find the specific subscription you wish to cancel. This will typically be listed among your active channels.
-
Cancel the Channel: Click on the option to “Cancel Channel” next to the subscription you want to terminate. Follow any prompts or confirmation steps that may appear to finalize the cancellation.
Prime Membership (includes Prime Video):
If you have a Prime membership, you automatically gain access to Prime Video along with a host of other benefits, like free shipping. Cancelling your Prime membership, therefore, will impact your Prime Video access as well. Here’s how to proceed:
-
Visit the “Manage Your Prime Membership” Page: Head over to the “Manage Your Prime Membership” page on the Amazon website. This page serves as a hub for controlling various aspects of your Prime account.
-
Select “Update, Cancel, and More”: Look for the option to “Update, Cancel, and More” and click on it to access additional settings related to your Prime Membership.
-
Follow On-Screen Instructions: Once you’ve accessed the appropriate section, follow the on-screen instructions provided to cancel your Prime Membership. Be sure to review any details or consequences associated with cancellation.
Important Notes to Consider:
-
Third-Party Subscriptions: If you subscribed to a Prime Video channel through a third party, such as a mobile service provider, the cancellation process may differ. In such cases, you’ll need to contact the third party directly to initiate cancellation.
-
Timing of Cancellations: Keep in mind that cancelling a Prime Video Channel subscription may not take effect immediately. You’ll typically retain access to the channel until the end of your current billing period.
-
Comprehensive Cancellation: Cancelling your Prime membership will result in the termination of all associated Prime Video Channels subscriptions. Additionally, you will lose access to other Prime benefits such as free shipping, Prime Music, and more.
By following these steps and considering the important notes provided, you can effectively manage and cancel your subscriptions on Amazon Prime Video as needed.
