You just have to pay attention.
They got me once, but I had no problem canceling it right away.
I don’t follow this whole claim. I’ve been a very happy Prime member since it first came out. Free shipping, Prime movies, etc. If you regularly buy on Amazon, it is a no brainer to subscribe. (There are other complaints about Amazon, like using USPS to deliver, usually late.)
Two day shipping that can take weeks and they are ok with that
They should probably look in to that too.
Amazon’s weak link is delivery. Solve that and you can have every last bit of my business. Between the horrible contracted delivery companies, porch pirates, and wrecked or damaged goods, it’s not fixable.
Even my bank was unable to help me cancel prime,we ended up needing to cancel our debit card.It was the only way to stop the billing
What happened? Did Bezos fail to make his usual contribution to the Democratic party?
When I finally quit my local newspaper, they make it as hard as possible to quit and the customer service rep seemed to want to argue with me before finally relenting. My opinion is that you should be able to quit the same way you joined. If you do it online you should be able to leave online.
My biggest problem with Amazon is not being able to turn off the (@*@#(*@# one-click purchase. I have bought a few Kindle books and had to get a refund with one little clumsy twitch on my phone. Give me an option for traditional purchase of putting into the cart and then buying as a separate action. You can turn off one-click on everything except Kindle ebooks.
I personally do not have much love for Amazon
but I have prime for the same reason I have a costco membership.
I have never regretted the price of either one. I even pay extra on top of prime for ‘prime reading’ I get all I can read for free.
I have joked for years that every time I go through the purchasing process at Amazon and don’t end up unintentionally subscribing to Prime, I feel like I have won the lottery.
But to Amazon’s credit, when they give you an arrival date, they usually meet it and if they don’t it comes earlier.
With auto-renewal which a lot of people won’t pay attention to after they take their “free” trial.
It’s really an amazing waste of money...like many other subscription services.
They're using your money to pay the Obamas and other radical leftist programs.
I’ve had the free Prime period a few times then cancelled with no problem.
i just did this search:

and got this:

didn’t look hard to me ...
think this is a BS lawsuit ...
Is that like tricking and trapping people to take the vaxx?
It’s called “capitalism”.
Seriously as much as I dislike the politics of the founder and chief stockholder, how can you live without them? I never felt “tricked” into PRIME. Are we idiots??? I actually canceled it way back when it was pretty much free shipping and PRIME video really stunk. Now Prime video offers me more than Netflix with a couple ad ons. I use the “free” unlimited photo cloud storage which few know about. The music is pretty dumbed down but I think they just added more access.
I’d rather see the government go after that search engine company that has a stranglehold over all commerce and news.
You have to be smart about getting the free trial. If I use the free Prime trial, I order everything I need right away, then, I wait, until, all of my orders, have been shipped, then I go into my account, and cancel the free Prime trial. I get a confirmation, in my email, of the membership change, which I keep, until the trial period is over, to have proof, I cancelled and won't be charged, after the end date.
The nice thing is, the trial does not end right away, but, goes, the whole 30-days. It, just, will not renew, and I will not be charged to continue. So, if I still need to buy things, I can still use the Prime trial, up to its end date.
Prime covers the shipping costs for most products, or increases the delivery speed. Plus you can watch Prime TV.
Prime is a membership and not required.
Whenever Amazon is hit with fines, they may well offer Prime in lieu of cash rewards or give you the money while blocking your account.
I lived in 6 different countries during a 12 year oversees group of assignments... Amazon was a lifetime for my family.
The FTC should have took a different approach to this prosecution and rather sought to break apart Amazon Web Services from Amazon.com to address the marketplace situation where the profits from Web Services supplement the storefront and allowing other internet marketers to complete.

Prime works for me. I buy a lot from Amazon, and the amount I save on shipping is a lot more than $139 a year. The Amazon Prime shows and movies would be icing on the cake if I could just find anything on there worth watching.
We ain’t tricked and we ain’t trapped and we don’t see no pride shit neither.
