### How to Terminate Your Amazon Prime Membership

One of the advantages of Black Friday on Amazon is that a Prime membership isn’t necessary to enjoy most discounts. Therefore, if you aim to conserve some funds for holiday presents, you could think about discontinuing your Prime subscription.

Numerous Amazon purchases over a specific amount are still eligible for complimentary (and speedy!) shipping, so as long as you don’t procrastinate, there’s no requirement to spend $14.99 each month just for Black Friday shopping. Naturally, there are various other motivations to stop giving Amazon your money, whether you’re looking to reduce your subscription expenses, avoid automatic renewal after a complimentary 30-day trial, or align your spending with your ethical beliefs.

Terminating Amazon Prime can be somewhat complicated, so here’s a straightforward guide to walk you through the procedure.
