Thinking about canceling your Amazon Prime membership? We can’t say we blame you: There are plenty of good reasons to stop giving the retail giant your money, whether you’re trying to save on subscription fees or align your spending more closely with your values.
Of course, some shoppers use Amazon’s 30-day free trial to gain access to Prime Day sales. Those folks will also need to cancel their membership before it’s up for renewal to avoid the hefty price tag of a paid plan. Amazon’s Prime cancellation process can be convoluted, so here’s a step-by-step guide on how to bid Bezos goodbye.
