Can anyone with an amazon account/subscription confirm the proccess is really that tedious? I’m kind of curious now.
Yeah, I’ve cancelled multiple times here and there for various reasons and every time it requires me looking up how via a search engine, discovering it’s changed AGAIN, and digging around for anywhere between 10 minutes to an hour in an attempt to figure out which menu option(s) it’s hidden behind THIS time.
Currently, while signed in, if I go to accounts & lists, account, Prime (which has “manage your membership” as a listed option), I can:
“See all my prime benefits” which takes me to a page which lists all of the stuff I get with a link to each option. Clicking any link (say, prime video) takes you to that subsection of amazon as though you were about to use it. No management options. Backing out of that, further down I can:
Look at a list of five prime video options that I might want to add to my watchlist.
Look at my prime membership benefits, this time on the same page and presented with a quirky little submenu of blocks. No option to manage anything, even when clicking on “More” (that gives me amazon photos!)

Share my Prime Benefits (Manage your Household), which only lets you invite someone who must live with you to use your prime benefits. Presumably if I had invited anyone I could also remove them here.

Let’s try that.
The following are some of the benefits of Amazon Prime.
…nope.
Oh wait, over on the left there under “Quick Solutions”, it says:
Manage Prime
Cancel or view benefits
Let’s try that!
Nope, that took me back up to the page that says “check out what’s included in your prime membership”, the same page I got to when I clicked “Prime” under “Account”.
Wait, here’s something about PAUSING my membership over on the left side.
That takes me to a help article.
“You can pause and resume your membership in the Membership Management section on Prime Central.”

Cool, let’s try that. (It’s at: https://www.amazon.com/amazonprime in case nobody wants to jump through hoops)
From there, I can click “Manage my Membership”.
Oops, that took me back to that same first page again.
Okay, back to help, let’s try to search for “cancel prime”. Nothing.
Okay, let’s go to cancel orders.
Ooh, down there on the cancel orders page is Related Topics: Cancel your Prime Membership.
That, finally, has a link: https://www.amazon.com/mm/pipeline/cancellation
THAT lets me actually cancel it, after nagging me to keep it first.
