Are you not using your Amazon Prime Video subscription to its full potential? Prime Video hosts enormous content on the platform. There are some great Amazon Original movies and TV shows. Besides, you can always find new content if you log into Prime Video from a different country. However, if you’re trying to cut down on your uptime, and save a few bucks while you’re at it, here’s how to cancel your Prime Video subscription easily.
How to Cancel Prime Video (2022)
Amazon distributes the Prime Video subscription as an individual service in some countries and as a bundled package in others. The package usually consists of Prime Video, Prime Delivery, Amazon Music, and more. So, if you have decided to bid farewell to all these services, here’s how to cancel your Prime Video subscription.
What Happens When You Cancel Prime Video Subscription?
Before we strip ourselves from Prime access to Amazon Services, let’s see a few points to remember while changing your Amazon Prime Video membership.
- If you are using a bundled package of Prime Services, canceling one subscription will also affect others. Consequently, you won’t be able to use any Prime service unless you resume your plan.
- Your Prime Subscription benefits won’t lapse until the last date of your current subscription plan.
- You can not cancel a subscription managed by a third-party service like a sim card company or a plan you got with a device. If you wish to cancel such a plan, please get in touch with the third-party company’s customer service.
- You can not end membership if you don’t have recurring payments enabled. The service purchased with a one-time payment automatically ends when your current plan expires. So, there is no need to cancel it anyway.
- Some countries like Canada have removed the option to cancel the Prime Video membership via the methods described below. In such cases, please get in touch with Amazon’s customer care service for further assistance.
