Prime Video cancel subscription: Help, Steps, and Troubleshooting
To cancel Prime Video access included with an Amazon Prime membership, sign in to the Amazon account that holds the membership and use Amazon’s Prime membership cancellation flow. Ending Prime removes Prime-member benefits, including Prime Video access. Amazon’s Prime cancellation instructions
Before you proceed, distinguish between ending a full Prime membership and canceling a separate subscription purchased through Prime Video. Amazon describes Prime Video subscriptions and add-ons as additional paid subscriptions that you manage separately through the Prime Video account or app. Amazon’s Prime Video subscription guide
Steps to solve it
Use the path that matches the product you want to stop. Sign in to the Amazon account that holds the membership or Prime Video subscription before you make changes.
| What you want to stop | Where to manage it | What to review |
|---|---|---|
| Prime membership and Prime Video benefits | Amazon Prime Membership area | Confirm that you want to end the full Prime membership and its included benefits. Amazon’s Prime cancellation instructions |
| A separate Prime Video subscription or add-on | Prime Video account or app subscription area | Confirm the subscription name and the terms shown in the cancellation flow. Amazon’s Prime Video subscription guide |
| A subscription not listed in either Amazon area | The company that manages that subscription | Follow that company’s published subscription-management instructions. |

Amazon’s cited instructions do not promise that every account will display a specific confirmation email, renewal date, or end date. Amazon’s Prime cancellation instructions
Cancel a separate Prime Video subscription
Open the Prime Video account or app subscription area and locate the subscription you want to manage. Amazon says that subscriptions purchased through Prime Video can be managed there and canceled anytime. Amazon’s Prime Video subscription guide
Follow the cancellation prompts for the specific subscription. Read the details displayed during that process, especially if you have more than one Prime Video add-on or bundle. A Prime Video subscription is separate from the Prime membership cancellation route, even when you access both services with the same Amazon account. Amazon’s Prime Video subscription guide
Do not treat closing the Prime Video app or removing it from a TV, phone, or streaming device as a cancellation step. Amazon’s documented cancellation process uses the Prime membership area or the Prime Video subscription-management area. Amazon’s Prime cancellation instructions
What to check before and after cancellation
Start by identifying what you are trying to cancel. Prime Video is a benefit of Amazon Prime, while subscriptions purchased through Prime Video are additional paid subscriptions. Amazon’s Prime Video subscription guide
This distinction matters if you want to reduce streaming costs without ending all Prime benefits. Canceling a separate Prime Video subscription may fit that goal better than ending the entire Prime membership. On the other hand, ending Prime removes the Prime-member Prime Video benefit along with the other benefits tied to that membership. Amazon’s Prime cancellation instructions
Prime Video can also offer bundles as additional subscriptions. For example, Amazon has offered an Apple TV and Peacock Premium Plus bundle for $19.99 per month in the United States for a limited time. Check the offer and terms currently displayed in your own Prime Video subscription flow before making a change, since availability and pricing can change. Amazon’s bundle announcement
After you follow the cancellation process, use these practical checks:
- •Review the displayed status. Check the relevant Prime Membership or Prime Video subscription area after you complete the prompts. Amazon’s cited pages do not state one universal rule for when cancellation takes effect. Amazon’s Prime cancellation instructions
- •Read any effective-date information shown. If Amazon displays an access or cancellation date in your account flow, use that account-specific information instead of assuming access ends immediately or at a billing-period boundary.
- •Separate included streaming from add-ons. A Prime membership and a separate Prime Video subscription are different account actions. Confirm you changed the product you intended to stop. Amazon’s Prime Video subscription guide
- •Avoid assumptions about downloads, watch history, rentals, or purchases. The cited Amazon pages do not provide a universal rule for how cancellation affects those items. Review the information shown in your account before relying on continued access.
- •Review future offers if you want to return. If you decide to subscribe later, check the price, availability, and terms presented at that time. Amazon’s available subscriptions and bundles can change. Amazon’s Prime Video subscription guide
Troubleshooting cancellation problems
If you cannot find the option to end Prime, first confirm that you are signed in to the Amazon account that holds the membership. Then use Amazon’s documented route: Accounts & Lists > Prime Membership > Manage Membership > End Membership on the web, or Profile > Manage Prime Membership > Manage Membership > End Membership in the Amazon Shopping app. Amazon’s Prime cancellation instructions
If you are looking for a separate subscription purchased through Prime Video, open the Prime Video account or app subscription area instead. Amazon states that Prime Video subscriptions can be managed there and canceled anytime. Amazon’s Prime Video subscription guide
If the subscription is not shown in the Amazon Prime Membership or Prime Video areas, the cited Amazon pages do not document a cancellation procedure for that arrangement. Identify the subscription and consult the cancellation instructions from the company that manages it. Avoid assuming that a subscription is connected to Prime solely because it relates to video streaming.
Continue through the on-screen cancellation prompts rather than stopping after an intermediate screen. When you finish, return to the relevant Amazon or Prime Video management area and review the status shown there. This is more reliable than assuming a request was completed because you navigated away from a page.
For billing questions, start by reviewing the subscriptions listed in your Prime Video account or app. If that does not resolve the issue, use the support route provided by the company that processed the charge. The permitted Amazon sources do not establish a universal procedure for matching payment-statement details, disputing charges, or canceling subscriptions managed elsewhere.
Keep track of what you want to cancel.
Review your subscriptions in Subpilot and request cancellation help where supported. Some providers require you to act directly; submitting a request does not confirm cancellation.
