How Do I Cancel My Amazon Prime Membership?
If you have an Amazon Prime membership, follow these simple steps to cancel the subscription.
Amazon is a virtual marketplace that allows individuals to buy and sell products. It also offers digital services such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital streaming. The company was originally founded in 1994 under the name Cadabra and was a bookstore. Once it made the transition to selling more products, it achieved massive success.
Amazon has a subscription model called "Prime." With a Prime membership, individuals get free fast shipping for eligible products, free streaming services of movies, television shows and music, unlimited reading materials, and exclusive shopping deals. If you currently have an Amazon Prime membership and want to cancel it, follow the steps as outlined below:
