How to get a refund for Amazon Prime
If you are unsatisfied with your Amazon Prime subscription, you can cancel it anytime and maybe get a refund. According to Amazon, members who have never used their benefits for that membership period could be eligible for a full refund.
So if you have just finished your 30-day free trial but forgot to cancel it on time, you can get a refund. You can also get a full refund if you cancel your membership within three business days of your latest Prime membership charge.
You are still eligible for a partial refund if you have used the benefits based on your use and the remaining membership time. This rule will apply to you irrespective of whether you have enabled Auto Renewal or Recurring Payments or not.

How to cancel a paid-for Amazon Prime subscription
If you pay for Amazon Prime, you can cancel the service by going to your Amazon Prime Account page when logged into your account
Then click "Manage" where you'll have the option to update, cancel and more.
Choose "End membership" on the left-hand side of the page.
Amazon says customers who haven't used any Amazon Prime benefits, including one day delivery, Prime Video, Prime Music and the Kindle Owners' Lending Library, will be eligible for a full refund.
This is ideal for customers who forgot to cancel their free trials before they ended and who have had the first payment taken from their account.
It says paid members who have used their Amazon Prime delivery benefits may be eligible for a partial refund which could be determined by how much time you have left on your current subscription.
If you still have most of the year left on an annual subscription you could get more of your up to £79 back then if there were only a few months left.
If other Prime benefits like Prime video and Prime Music have been used though, you can't get a refund.
How to cancel an Amazon Prime trial
Amazon offers free Prime trials of 30 days.
But if you've taken out one of these trials and don't want it to automatically start charging you, you need to remember to cancel the service before the trial expires.
To do this, go to "Manage Your Prime Membership" when you're logged into Amazon.
Then select "Manage" where you'll have the option to update, cancel and more.
Click "End trial and benefits" to cancel.
You'll cancel your registration and the payment card you signed up with won't be debited.
If you don't cancel at the end of the trial period you'll be converted to a full membership and charged either the monthly or yearly fee.
