Is your free Amazon Prime trial about to end? As long as you cancel your trial membership before the end of the 30 day trial period (or 6 months for Prime Student), you’ll won’t get billed. After you cancel your free trial, your benefits won't end immediately—you'll still get free 2-day shipping, access to Prime video, and more until the end of the trial period. Cancelling an Amazon Prime free trial is easy, and you can do it in the Amazon mobile app on your phone or tablet, or in a web browser on your computer.

- Mobile: Go to your profile > Your Account > Manage Prime Membership > Manage Membership > Update, cancel, and more > End membership to cancel.
- Computer: Go to https://www.amazon.com/gp/primecentral and click Update, cancel, and more > End membership > to find the cancellation option.

If I use free 2 day shipping during my free 30 day trial, can I still cancel before my 30 day free trial is up?

Yes. Log on to your account at Amazon. Click on Accounts & Lists and click on cancel free Prime. They will then give you a 2-3 day window to notify you of your free trial being cancelled.

Question
I just clicked on Amazon Prime free trial. Now I want to cancel it but there is no option to do so. What do I do?
Community Answer
You must follow these steps to cancel it. Go to your Amazon, click Help (it is in the same row as browsing history), go to Manage Prime. Then where Amazon is talking about your billing info there will be a button that says Do Not Continue, click that. Then just continue the rest of the steps. It will ask you if you are sure, just say continue to cancel.
