This wikiHow teaches you how to cancel your free trial period of Amazon Prime so you don't incur service charges. As long as you cancel your Prime membership before the end of the 30-day trial period, you will not be charged for the Prime service. Once you cancel, you can still enjoy the benefits or features of the Prime service, including free 2-day shipping and access to the Prime Video library until the 30-day trial period ends.
