How to cancel Amazon Prime Video
Prime Video is one of the best streaming services, and you can subscribe for $9 a month if you’re not a Prime member. But if you’re ready to cancel, whether you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber or only subscribe to Prime Video on its own, here’s how to terminate your service.
Note: If you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, this will cancel your entire Prime plan, not just Prime Video.
1. Open Amazon in any web browser. If you aren’t already signed in, do so now.
2. Once signed in, hover your mouse over Account & Lists in the top-right. In the drop-down menu, click Your Prime Membership.
Choose “Your Prime Membership” from the menu.

In the drop-down under “Manage Membership,” click “End membership.”

Amazon will repeatedly ask if you really want to end your Prime or Prime Video membership.

How to get a refund after canceling Amazon Prime
According to Amazon, customers who have paid for a Prime membership but never used their benefits could be eligible for a full refund.
If you cancel your membership within three business days of converting from your free trial, you’re also eligible for a full refund, provided you didn’t use any Prime benefits during that time.
Those who have used the benefits could be eligible for a partial refund based on the remaining time in their membership and their use.
Amazon will process all refunds within 3-5 business days.
