How to Cancel Amazon Prime Free Trial in 2026

Quick answer: To cancel an Amazon Prime free trial, sign in to the Amazon account that started the trial, open Prime Membership, choose the option to manage or end the membership, and follow every confirmation screen until Amazon shows that the membership will end. Do this before the trial renewal date if you want to avoid the first paid charge.

Amazon Prime, like many subscriptions, offers a free trial to eligible customers. The useful part is obvious: you can test Prime shipping, Prime Video, and other Prime benefits before paying. The risky part is billing: if the trial remains active after the trial period, Amazon can convert it to a paid membership under the plan shown on your account.

The cancellation process is still simple, but the exact labels can vary. You may see End Membership, Cancel Membership, Manage Membership, Update, cancel and more, or similar wording depending on whether you use desktop, Android, iPhone, or a mobile browser. Follow each screen until Amazon confirms the end date or says the trial will not renew.

How to cancel an Amazon Prime free trial

You can cancel during the 30-day Amazon Prime free trial, or you may be charged when the trial converts to a paid plan. The old advice to look for a single "Cancel Free Trial" link is useful as a starting point, but Amazon may now display a broader membership-management screen.

Go to Amazon and sign in to the account that started the Prime trial.
Open Account & Lists, then choose Prime Membership or Your Prime Membership.
Look for Manage Membership, Update, cancel and more, or the cancellation/end-membership option.
Select the option to end or cancel the membership.
Read the retention screens carefully and continue until you reach the final confirmation.
Check that Amazon shows an end date, cancellation confirmation, or "will not renew" message.

If you still want to use Prime through the rest of the free trial, choose the option that ends renewal at the trial end rather than immediately removing benefits, if Amazon offers that choice on your account. If your goal is to stop all Prime access now, choose the immediate end option when it appears.

How to cancel Amazon Prime free trial on Android and iPhone

If you do not want to use the desktop website, you can use the Amazon app on Android or iPhone. The old steps are still directionally right: open the Amazon app, sign in, go to your account area, and manage the Prime membership from there. The difference is that menu names move over time.

Open the Amazon app on your Android phone or iPhone.
Tap the profile/account icon or menu button.
Open Your Account or Account.
Choose Manage Prime Membership, Prime Membership, or a similar Prime option.
Tap the cancellation or end-membership option.
Continue through each screen until you see confirmation that the trial or membership will end.

If the app does not show the cancellation button, use your phone browser and open Amazon's Prime Membership page directly. A browser can be easier because Amazon sometimes changes app menus before help articles catch up.

How to cancel Amazon Prime free trial on a computer

Canceling on a computer is often the clearest route because the membership page has more room for account details. Use this method if the app is confusing, if you are close to the renewal date, or if you need to save a screenshot of the confirmation.

Open Amazon.com in a browser and sign in.
Hover over or click Account & Lists.
Select Prime Membership.
Open the membership-management area.
Choose the option to end or cancel the membership.
Confirm through the final screen and save the confirmation message or email.

Do not stop after the first screen that asks whether you want to keep benefits. Amazon may show more than one confirmation page. The cancellation is only reliable once the account page shows a clear end date or non-renewal status.

When does Amazon start charging membership fees?

Amazon's standard Prime free trial has been 30 days for eligible customers. After the trial, Amazon can bill the payment method on file for the membership plan selected during signup. Current Prime pricing and plan names should be checked on Amazon before you start or cancel, because prices and discounts can change.

If you cancel before the trial renewal date, the account page should show that the trial will not continue into a paid membership. If the trial has already converted to paid Prime, refund eligibility depends on timing, benefit usage, and the terms shown for your marketplace. Amazon's official help snippets state that customers who have not used benefits may be eligible for a full refund, and Amazon's terms snippet says cancellation shortly after converting from a free trial can qualify for a full membership-fee refund.

What to check after canceling

After canceling, check three things. First, return to the Prime Membership page and confirm the renewal date changed to an end date or non-renewal status. Second, check your email for a cancellation confirmation. Third, watch your card or bank account around the original renewal date if you canceled very close to the deadline.

If you were charged after canceling, go back to the Prime Membership page and review the status. If it shows a paid membership, use Amazon support from the same account. If it shows canceled but you still see a charge, keep the cancellation confirmation and ask Amazon support to review the billing record.

Bottom line

Cancel your Amazon Prime free trial from the Prime Membership page before the renewal date, and keep going until Amazon confirms the trial or membership will end. The old website, Android, iPhone, and computer steps still point to the right place, but button labels can vary. The safest move is to verify the final account status and save the confirmation so you have proof if billing does not match what the page showed.
