Remember folks who are currently subscribed: They do not give prorated refunds for full year subs. ~~When you cancel the service ends immediately. Setup calendar reminders or eat the sunk cost now because~~ Amazon Prime is just a typical subscription entrapment scheme that will only get harder and harder to cancel, like a gym membership.

Edit: Thanks /u/@firadin - Cancel now, you don't lose anything and the membership simply won't renew on your renewal date.

Is that new? When I cancelled last year a couple months into my year long subscription I got the money back for the unused months. No problem, easy too.

It's not new, it's just asshole web design and misleading pages when you go to cancel. I went and cancelled a couple minutes ago.

That's not accurate, they don't stop your benefits when you hit the cancel button. I just cancelled today and have my benefits until the end of my yearly subscription in November.

Wow, you're right. I just ended mine.

Their website has an asshole design. They make you click through two pages before telling you the truth.
