Cancelling Amazon Prime is absurdly easy

Filed under: neat!,tech,useless @ 15:02

Through some random promotion, I was given a trial membership of Amazon‘s Amazon Prime, a service offering free two-day shipping on most items and overnight shipping for only $4 per item. It’s a really ncie service, but I just don’t think I shop enough to warrant the $80 per year fee for the permenant membership.

So I cancelled it, and it was ridiculously easy; no AOL is Amazon [2].

Check out these delightful screen grabs.

Not even a browser refresh between them; just click the button and, a little javascript fade later, it’s all done.

Nice job, Amazon.

    Are you able to cancel this even if you have already used the free shipping options that it gives you?

    Every time I try to get to the cancellation page, the page reports that I am not a member, but I also signed up for the trial… I know I don’t want to continue with it. I did the free trial, but after adding it up, I know I won’t use it nearly enough to make it worthwhile.
    My question is “where is the cancel link”, because the one I get to says 1. I am not a member, and 2. it is not good for promotional offers.
    In other words, it won’t let me cancel.
