It happens to the best of us. You sign up for a free trial or a monthly subscription on Amazon, and before you know it, it’s quietly renewing on your credit card. Whether it’s a streaming channel, a delivery service, or a recurring product, managing these subscriptions is a key part of controlling your budget. The good news is that canceling them is a straightforward process once you know where to look.
Finding Your Amazon Subscriptions
Your first step is to navigate to the right place. On the Amazon website, hover over ‘Accounts & Lists’ in the top right corner. From the dropdown menu, select ‘Memberships & Subscriptions’. This is the central hub where you can see everything you’re currently signed up for, from Kindle Unlimited to Subscribe & Save items.
How to Cancel a Subscription Service
Once you’re on the “Memberships and Subscriptions” page, you’ll see a list of your active recurring payments. Find the specific subscription you wish to cancel and click on the ‘Manage Subscription’ button next to it. This will open a detailed page for that service. Look for an ‘Actions’ menu or a specific button that says ‘Cancel Subscription’. Amazon will typically ask you to confirm your choice, and they may also offer you a discount to stay. Confirm the cancellation, and you’ll receive a confirmation email for your records.
Managing Subscribe & Save Orders
It’s important to know that regular product subscriptions, like those through Subscribe & Save, are managed a little differently. For these, you go to ‘Your Subscribe & Save Items’. Here, you can see all your scheduled deliveries. You can choose to ‘Skip’ an upcoming delivery instead of canceling entirely, which is great if you just need a month off. To cancel the subscription completely, select ‘Cancel Subscription’ for that item. This stops all future deliveries.
Staying on Top of Your Subscriptions
A great habit is to review your Memberships & Subscriptions page every few months. This helps you catch any services you may have forgotten about and ensures you’re only paying for what you truly use and need. Setting a calendar reminder can make this process effortless.
Taking a few minutes to manage your subscriptions puts you back in control of your spending. With everything in one convenient place on Amazon, it’s a simple task that can save you money and bring you peace of mind.
