Want to Cancel Amazon Prime? Prepare for an 'Ordeal'

I agree with Fyrefox. I would never use Amazon Prime. Don't need them. Also, had Sirius with a new used car I bought. To cancel I was on the phone with someone from India for over 1/2 hour who just didn't want to cancel & kept trying to keep me from cancelling. Another thing I hate & try extremely hard not to sign up for is that stupid "automatic renewal." They just hope we'll die & the subscription will be automatically renewed. HA! I have to shake my head what little tricks those Bros & Broxits are thinking up next to fleece us from our hard-earned money.
 

I had no problem cancelling Prime, but that was a couple years ago. I got the 30 days free or whatever it was and cancelled after that, no problem. Did it online in seconds. I just signed up again, hope I won't have a problem cancelling this time. I go back and forth between Prime and Netflix.
 
I used to feel like Prime was a rip-off because I would just order the minimum to get free-shipping so I didn't see any value to Prime. But that changed after I got my Roku TV and having Prime gives me TV and movies, so I could drop the annoying expensive cable (actually was satellite for my area) that had a million channels but rarely anything good to watch. The Prime movies are a little hit and miss and renting/buying is ridiculously expensive (like $4 to rent an old movie), but sometimes they have $1.99 deals and sometimes good movies rotate into the free ones. Also the 'free with commercials' channel is integrated into it which has a few good movies each month.
The next day and two day delivery almost always shows up in time, but sometimes I feel just super guilty because of the environmental impact of a truck driving out into the countryside to deliver a pack of cat treats (cat's favorite flavor was out of stock at the grocery store).
 

I found it very easy to cancel Prime. After being automatically enrolled & getting 2 $15.00 charges for it, I called my credit card co. & disputed it. Chase took it off my statement immediately. After that, whenever I buy on Amazon, the screen shows a Prime offer & I just click on "No Thanks."
Simple stop paying, they will cancel for you...
 
They don’t make it easy-you have to go through hoops to get to the cancellation page but once you find it it is easy.
You are allowed one free trial a year-I have had several.
 
Never used Prime. There is nothing I need that I cannot wait a few days for. I get the free shipping as I don't mind waiting a few extra days to get it.
I've never used Prime either. Like you, I can wait and use the Free Shipping option.
 
Simple stop paying, they will cancel for you...
Yeah, I could do that, too. But I try to be nice.....unless I feel like someone's trying to rip me off (as opposed to desperately trying to make money like everyone is these days.)
 
I cannot imagine my life without Amazon Prime. I use it all the time. It has been worth the convenience to pay for it. Less than $7.00 a month and I buy a lot from them plus watch videos and television shows.
 
Actually, the fast shipping is a bit of a con. Many of the firms selling through Amazon ship their own goods, and I've had several items delivered the following day. Also, although Amazon give you a delivery date, the goods usually arrive sooner.
Interesting that I had a similar problem trying to cancel my washing machine insurance. The firm just wouldn't accept my cancellation. I simply went to the bank and cancelled the Direct Debits.
 
I switched to Walmart instead of Amazon ..I hate the fact Amazon tries to charge me expedited shipping automatically if I don’t catch it and change it to free standard shipping
