Anybody who signed up for the free trial on Amazon Prime

karmalarma:

I know they had their sale and a lot of people signed up for the free trial, so I thought this might be relevant for some of you. I signed up for the free trial a while back and yesterday, Amazon charged our bank account for $107. We went on the website and it explained that when your free trial ends, they charge you for the next entire year of Amazon Prime.

Luckily, we hadn’t bought anything in a long time, so we were able to get a refund. However, if we had bought anything after the trial ended, we wouldn’t have been able to get our refund, which would be devastating in our current financial situation.

So for anyone who doesn’t plan on using Prime/ might forget they have it/ can’t afford to have that taken out even temporarily at the end of the trial, make sure to go into your Prime account and end your membership before your free trial ends.

…Yeah, actually, this is how pretty much ALL free trials work…Did you not read the agreement? And Amazon has always charged by the year for Prime.
