What are the top 3 reasons people cancel Amazon Prime?

We understand — sometimes canceling is the best option. Here are some common reasons why people decide to cancel:

Lack of Use

Users may cancel because they don't take full advantage of Amazon Prime’s benefits, such as streaming, Prime Reading, or exclusive discounts.

Better Alternatives

With many competitors offering similar services (like streaming services, faster shipping options, etc.), users may find better alternatives that better suit their needs or budget.

You can get a full refund from Amazon Prime if you cancel within 14 days; after that, fees may apply.
