You signed up for Amazon’s Subscribe & Save to make life a little easier and save a few dollars. But sometimes, things change. Maybe you have too much of a product, found a better deal, or simply want to try something new. Whatever the reason, you might be wondering how to pause or cancel those automatic deliveries without a hassle.
The good news is that Amazon gives you complete control over your subscriptions. You can make changes at any time, and the process is straightforward once you know where to look. Let’s walk through the simple steps to manage your account.
Finding Your Subscribe & Save Management Page
The first step is to navigate to your subscription hub. On the Amazon website, hover over ‘Accounts & Lists’ in the top right corner. From the dropdown menu, select ‘Subscribe & Save’. This will take you to a page that lists all of your active and paused subscriptions. Here, you can see your upcoming delivery dates and the prices you’re locked into.
How to Cancel a Subscription Completely
If you’re sure you don’t want to receive a product anymore, cancelling is your best bet. On your Subscribe & Save page, find the item you wish to cancel. Look for the ‘Cancel subscription’ button, which is usually on the right side of the product listing. Amazon will likely ask you to confirm your choice. Once you confirm, the subscription is cancelled, and you won’t receive or be charged for future deliveries of that item.
Considering a Pause Instead of a Cancellation
If you’re not ready to cancel forever, pausing a subscription is a fantastic option. This is perfect if you’re going on vacation or just have a surplus of a product. Next to each item, you should see an option to ‘Skip’ or ‘Pause’ deliveries. You can typically skip multiple upcoming deliveries at once. Your subscription settings will remain saved, and you can restart the deliveries whenever you’re ready, often with just a single click.
A Quick Tip for Your Wallet
Remember, to get the full Subscribe & Save discount, you need a certain number of deliveries in a single month. If you’re cancelling or skipping an item, check how it affects your total number of monthly subscriptions. It might adjust the discount you receive on your other items for that month, so it’s always good to be aware.
Managing your subscriptions is all about making the service work for you. With the ability to cancel or pause at any time, you can ensure you’re only getting what you need, when you need it.
