Your 14-Day Right to Cancel Auto-Renewals

Amazon Prime auto-renews your subscription. Under Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you have 14 days from purchase to cancel and claim a full refund, even if you used the service. Amazon must provide clear cancellation information upfront (most fail to do this clearly), so you may have extended rights.

Step-by-Step Refund Process

  1. Log into your Amazon account and cancel Prime immediately via Account Settings.
  2. Write to Amazon: "I request cancellation and refund under CCR 2013 Regulation 5 for the auto-renewed Prime subscription charged on [date]. I wish to exercise my 14-day cooling-off right."
  3. Send by email to Amazon customer service. Keep the send receipt.
  4. Amazon must refund within 14 days. If they refuse, escalate by reference to CCR 2013 and threatening to report to Trading Standards.
  5. If Amazon still refuses, contact Trading Standards (free) or use a claims service (GBP 25-50 fee).

Critical Deadlines

14 days from the auto-renewal charge date. Count from the transaction date on your invoice, not from the notice date.

What If Amazon Refuses?

Report to Trading Standards (www.tradingstandards.gov.uk). CCR 2013 breaches are serious and Trading Standards will investigate. Many get refunds after Trading Standards intervenes.
