I signed up for the Amazon Prime free trial and what I did was place my order with the trial, immediately go to my account settings and TURN OFF automatic upgrade. I still get the benefits of Amazon Prime until my trial date is up, even though I’ve opted not to be charged $79 dollars.

save yourself and turn it off right away, you still get the benefits! people are saying it’s harder to opt out or remember to opt out towards the end of the trial, so don’t wait.

I have had the same experience. I took the ‘free’ option even though I live in Canada (I was in the US at the time) and thought I could get out of it. No email, therefore I’ve got a visa payment on my bill!

Same story here. They billed me without a reminder (and I definitely get all my Amazon emails in my inbox) . I called up and the guy on the phone promised it would be refunded in 3 days.

Good job I check my bank statements regularly! I’m not normally stupid with these sort of things but it wasn’t obvious to me that they would take the charge automatically after 3 months.

Check your bills when you accept the trial, I got charged within the first week of getting it.

Cancelling this trial will refund your money, I’ve heard it’s a ***** to if you try but it didn’t take much of an effort to me.
