How to cancel your Amazon Prime membership
Amazon Prime Day is back, and this year runs over a 48-hour period from June 21 to 22.
Anyone who signs up to the retail giant's 30-day free trial - giving access to Prime Video and next-day deliveries - must remember to cancel their subscription in a few weeks, or face a £79 bill.
Thousands of people are expected to join the trial subscription to take part in the annual sale, and they must cancel within the 30 day period to avoid paying the out the monthly fee.
The reason this happens is that when anyone registers - for free or otherwise - their bank details are automatically enrolled into a contract.
That contract charges subscribers as and when the next payment is due.
Those who don't cancel before the 30th day could therefore be slapped with a pretty big bill.
Anyone wishing to continue with the subscription, can, while those who don't can follow the guide below on how to cancel Prime without any hassle.
