Amazon's Unusually Generous Refund Policy

If you forget to cancel and your trial converts to a paid subscription, Amazon is more lenient than most streaming services. If you have not used any Prime benefits (no video watched, no orders shipped) within 3 days of the charge, Amazon will typically issue a full refund. Contact Amazon customer service immediately via chat for the best result. This is not a guaranteed policy but Amazon applies it frequently in practice.

How to Cancel Amazon Prime Before Being Charged

Cancel immediately (access ends now)

Go to amazon.com > Account & Lists > Account > Prime membership > End membership. Choose 'End Membership Now' and you lose access immediately but get no further charges.

Cancel at renewal (access continues)

Go to amazon.com > Account > Prime membership > End membership. Choose 'Do not continue' and you keep access until the trial end date, then it stops.

Does Amazon Prime Video have a free trial in 2026?
Yes. Amazon offers a 30-day free trial of full Amazon Prime, which includes Prime Video and all other Prime benefits. A credit card is required. After the trial, you pay $14.99/mo for full Prime or can downgrade to $8.99/mo for Prime Video only.
Is there a trial for Prime Video standalone (without full Prime)?
The Prime Video standalone plan at $8.99/mo does not reliably offer a 30-day trial -- the trial promotion is primarily tied to the full Prime membership. Check the current Amazon sign-up page for standalone Prime Video to see if a trial is currently available.
Does Amazon charge for ads on Prime Video?
Yes. Since January 2024, Amazon Prime Video shows ads by default even on paid plans. To remove ads, you pay an additional $2.99/mo. This was a widely-criticised change. During your free trial, you will see ads unless you pay the $2.99 ad-free upgrade.
