The Cancellation Friction Index

How to cancel Amazon Prime

  • Channels: online (self-serve), in-app
  • Official cancellation page: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GTJQ7QZY7QL2HK4Y
  • Pause/freeze: available — Pause for up to 365 days (Monthly or Annual plans) and resume manually; personalized settings are preserved. After 365 consecutive paused days the membership auto-cancels.
  • Account/data deletion: Cancelling Prime does not close your Amazon account or delete data (you lose Prime Video watchlist/household and Prime-tied Photos/Music). Closing the whole account / deleting data is a separate request (Login & Security -> Close Your Account). https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GTJQ7QZY7QL2HK4Y

Evidence

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
