How to Cancel Amazon Prime Video Without Losing Prime Shipping

Frustrated with the content on Prime Video but still want fast, free shipping from Amazon? You’re not alone. The catch? Amazon bundles everything under “Prime,” so technically, there’s no official way to cancel Prime Video by itself. But there are two smart workarounds that let you drop the video and keep the perks you actually use.

🔍 Quick Summary

🚫 Why You Can’t “Just Cancel” Prime Video

Amazon doesn’t treat Prime Video as a separate subscription under regular Prime. If you cancel Prime, you lose everything—shipping, Whole Foods discounts, Kindle perks, and more.

But you have two legitimate options:

• Request a refund for Prime Video and keep your shipping.
• Switch to a business-tier membership that excludes Prime Video.

🟡 Option 1: Request a Refund for Prime Video

If you haven’t used Prime Video recently, Amazon might issue a partial refund:

1. Go to Amazon Customer Support.
2. Select: Prime or Something Else > Membership Management > Contact Us.
3. Request a partial refund for Prime Video, citing that you don’t use it.
4. In most cases, a support rep will offer a partial credit or refund while keeping your shipping benefits active.

Note: Refunds are more likely if you’ve barely used Prime Video.

🟢 Option 2: Switch to a Business Prime Plan (No Video)

Amazon offers a Business Prime Essentials membership that includes free shipping but excludes streaming:

1. Go to Amazon Business Prime.
2. Sign up or convert your account to a business account.
3. Select the Essentials or Duo plan (no Prime Video).
4. Cancel your personal Prime account once confirmed.

Cost: Around $69/year depending on your plan—cheaper than regular Prime.
