Quick Facts
Watch Out
Prime Video standalone ($8.99/mo) and Amazon Prime ($14.99/mo or $139/yr) are different subscriptions. If you have Amazon Prime, canceling Prime Video means canceling your entire Prime membership including free shipping.
Amazon uses aggressive retention tactics — you must click through at least 3 confirmation screens listing all benefits you'll lose.
If you haven't used any Prime benefits since your last renewal, Amazon offers a full refund. Otherwise, no refund is given.
Prime Video add-on channel subscriptions (HBO, Starz, etc.) are separate — they must be canceled individually under Account & Settings > Your Subscriptions.
Amazon offers to switch you to annual billing, pause, or remind you later as retention tactics during cancellation.
Free trial auto-converts to paid. Amazon will charge you immediately after the 30-day trial ends.
Prime Video with ads is now the default. The ad-free option costs an additional $2.99/month on top of your subscription.
