How to Cancel Subscriptions on Amazon (2026 Guide)

Quick Summary: Cancel Amazon subscriptions by visiting Your Memberships and Subscriptions in your account settings, selecting the subscription you want to cancel, and clicking Cancel Subscription under Advanced Controls. This process works for Prime, Subscribe & Save, and digital subscriptions.

Amazon offers multiple subscription services, from Prime memberships to Subscribe & Save deliveries. Managing these subscriptions isn’t always straightforward, especially following the FTC’s historic $2.5 billion settlement in September 2025.

According to the FTC, Amazon previously made it “exceedingly difficult to cancel” Prime subscriptions. The settlement required simplified cancellation processes.

Quick Cancellation Steps

Navigate to Your Memberships and Subscriptions in account settings. Locate the subscription requiring cancellation. Click Manage Subscription beside the item name.

Select Cancel Subscription under Advanced Controls. Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
