Are you looking to cancel your Amazon Music subscription and stop those recurring charges? You're not alone! Many users find themselves needing to cancel subscriptions for various reasons. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of canceling your Amazon Music charge, regardless of whether you're using Amazon Music Unlimited or another plan.
Understanding Your Amazon Music Subscription
Before we jump into the cancellation process, it's important to understand what type of Amazon Music subscription you have. This will slightly affect the cancellation steps. Common Amazon Music plans include:
- Amazon Music Unlimited: This is the most common paid subscription, offering access to millions of songs.
- Amazon Music Prime: This is included with your Amazon Prime membership and offers a more limited selection of music. Cancelling this requires cancelling your Prime membership.
- Free Trial: If you're on a free trial, simply let it expire to avoid charges.
Cancelling Your Amazon Music Unlimited Subscription
For the majority of users, this is the most relevant section. Here's how to cancel your Amazon Music Unlimited subscription:
-
Access Your Amazon Account: Log in to your Amazon account using a web browser (using the app is not always reliable for this). Go to amazon.com and ensure you are logged in with the account associated with your Amazon Music subscription.
-
Navigate to "Manage Your Content and Devices": Once logged in, find and click on "Accounts & Lists." Within the drop-down menu, select "Manage Your Content and Devices".
-
Find Your Memberships and Subscriptions: Within "Manage Your Content and Devices," look for the "Memberships & Subscriptions" tab or section. It might be slightly different depending on your Amazon account layout.
-
Locate Your Amazon Music Unlimited Subscription: You'll see a list of your active subscriptions. Find your Amazon Music Unlimited subscription.
-
Cancel Your Subscription: Click on the "Cancel Membership" or similar button related to your Amazon Music Unlimited subscription. Amazon will typically ask you for confirmation before the cancellation is finalized.
-
Confirm Cancellation: Carefully review the cancellation details and confirm your decision. Amazon may provide options to keep your subscription, so make sure you're ready to cancel before proceeding.
-
Verify Cancellation: After confirming the cancellation, check your account details to verify that your Amazon Music Unlimited subscription is no longer active.
Important Considerations:
- Cancellation Timing: You will likely still have access to Amazon Music until the end of your current billing cycle.
- Refunds: Amazon's refund policy varies depending on your circumstances, so review their policy before cancelling.
- Prime Membership: If your Amazon Music is tied to a Prime membership, canceling Amazon Music will not cancel your Prime subscription. You must cancel the Prime membership separately.

-
Find Your Prime Membership: In "Your Account," find your Amazon Prime membership.
