Have you ever noticed a recurring charge from Amazon for an item you no longer need? It happens to the best of us. Life changes, and so do our shopping habits. The convenience of Amazon’s Subscribe & Save is fantastic, but managing those subscriptions is key to keeping your budget on track.
Canceling a subscription is a simple process that puts you back in control of your deliveries and your wallet. Let’s walk through the steps to easily manage or stop your recurring orders.
Finding Your Subscribe & Save Manager
The first step is to locate your subscription dashboard. From the Amazon homepage, hover over ‘Accounts & Lists’ in the top right corner. From the dropdown menu, select ‘Your Account’. On your account page, look for the ‘Memberships and subscriptions’ section and click on ‘Subscribe & Save’. This is your central hub for all your active subscriptions.
How to Cancel Your Subscription
Once you’re in your Subscribe & Save manager, you’ll see a list of all your active subscriptions. Find the item you wish to cancel and look for the ‘Cancel subscription’ button, usually located on the right side of the product listing. Amazon will ask you to confirm your choice. After you confirm, you’ll receive a confirmation email, and the recurring charge for that item will be officially stopped.
Pausing Instead of Canceling
If you’re not ready to cancel completely, consider pausing your subscription. This is a great option if you’re going on vacation or simply have a surplus of a product. In the same subscription manager, you can often find an option to ‘Skip upcoming delivery’ or ‘Pause subscription’ for a set number of deliveries. Your subscription settings will be saved, and deliveries will resume automatically when the pause period ends.
Keeping Your Subscriptions Organized
It’s a good habit to review your Subscribe & Save items every few months. This helps you ensure you’re only receiving what you truly use and benefit from. You can also easily update the delivery frequency or quantity of an item from your subscription manager if your needs change.
Managing your Amazon subscriptions is all about making the service work for you. With just a few clicks, you can easily cancel or adjust your deliveries, ensuring you only get what you want, when you want it.
