Prime and Done: A Hilarious Guide to Cancelling Your Amazon Prime Membership
Let's face it, folks. Sometimes, love fades. Maybe those two-day shipping speeds just don't do it for you anymore. Perhaps you've realized your pup isn't quite the Prime Video enthusiast you thought they were (seriously, Fido, put down the remote). Whatever the reason, you've reached a crossroads: it's time to cancel your Amazon Prime membership.
But fear not, weary traveler! This guide will be your Gandalf on this quest to navigate the Amazonian jungle (of menus, not actual jungles... although that would be a cooler metaphor).

Facing the Fellowship of Buttons: Deciding to Decimate Your Prime
First, a moment of self-reflection. Are you absolutely, positively sure? Think of all the perks you'll be leaving behind: free movies questionable taste in some genres, maybe? Lightning-fast shipping speeds that'll make you question the very meaning of delayed gratification? Just kidding. We understand.
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.![]()
Remember, cancellation is an option, not a betrayal. Amazon will understand. Probably.
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.![]()
The Quest for the Cancel Button: A LoTR-ian Struggle (Except Less Epic)
Okay, enough with the dramatic analogies. Let's get down to brass tacks. There are two main paths to take, depending on your device of choice:
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.![]()
-
The Desktop Desktop
- Log in to your Amazon account. This is where things get tricky. You might actually have to put down that bag of chips and use your brain cells for a hot second.
- Hover over "Accounts & Lists" (it's up in the top right corner, for those playing at home). A menu will appear.
- Select "Prime Membership" from said menu. Don't worry, it won't judge you for wanting out.
- Behold! The magical "Manage Prime Membership" button. Click on it with the same determination Frodo used to destroy the One Ring (without the whole dramatic fire mountain business).
- Here comes the moment of truth. A bunch of text will appear, likely trying to convince you to stay with emotional pleas about free music and unlimited photo storage. Stay strong, Frodo (I mean, you). Find the button that says "End membership" and click it like it owes you money.
- Follow the on-screen instructions. They're probably pretty straightforward, but hey, nobody likes getting lost in the Amazon.
-
The Mobile Mission
- Open the Amazon app. May the odds be ever in your favor of finding it amongst the app abyss.
- Tap the hamburger menu (those three horizontal lines).
- Scroll down and select "Your Account." Because, you know, it's your account and all.
- **Tap on "Prime Membership." **We're getting closer!
- Select "Manage Prime Membership" and follow the steps from the desktop quest onwards. It's basically the same, just on a smaller screen.
Congratulations! You've successfully navigated the Amazonian maze and emerged victorious (or at least membership-free). High five!
P.S. If you have any lingering doubts, remember, you can always re-subscribe later. Think of it like a relationship break – who knows, maybe you'll miss each other and come back stronger!
