Cancel Subscribe and Save by going to Your Account, then Your Orders, finding the subscription, and selecting Cancel Subscription

To cancel an Amazon Subscribe and Save subscription, sign into your Amazon account, go to Your Account in the top right corner, select Returns, orders, and subscriptions, then click Your Subscriptions. Find the item you want to cancel, click Actions next to it, and choose Cancel Subscription. Amazon will ask you to confirm and may offer a discount to keep the subscription — you can accept or decline before the cancellation is final.

The cancellation takes effect when ready. You will not be charged again, and your next scheduled delivery will not happen. If a delivery is already in progress or has shipped, you may still be able to return it within Amazon's standard return window.

Key Takeaways

  • You can cancel a Subscribe and Save subscription at any time through Your Account without penalty or explanation required.
  • Amazon may offer a one-time discount code to keep your subscription active — you can use it or ignore it and proceed with cancellation.
  • Cancellation stops future deliveries when ready, but items already shipped may still arrive and can be returned.
  • If you want to pause instead of cancel, you can delay your next delivery date without ending the subscription.

What happens to your discount after cancellation

Subscribe and Save discounts — typically 5 to 20 percent depending on the product and how many subscriptions you have active — end when you cancel. If you reorder the same item later as a one-time purchase, you will pay the regular price unless you set up a new subscription.

If you had multiple subscriptions bundled together for a higher discount tier, canceling one may lower the discount on the others. For example, if you had five subscriptions and received a 20 percent discount, canceling two might drop the remaining three to a 10 percent discount. Check Your Subscriptions after canceling to see if your other discounts have changed.

Pausing instead of canceling if you want to keep the subscription

If you do not want the item right now but might want it later, you can pause the subscription instead of canceling it. On the same Actions menu where you would cancel, select Edit delivery date and move your next delivery as far into the future as you want — Amazon allows you to delay up to one year ahead.

Pausing keeps your subscription active and your discount in place. When you are ready to receive the item again, you can move the delivery date back up or let it arrive on the new date you set. This is useful if you have a stockpile of something and do not need more for several months.

Handling items already shipped or in your cart

If your subscription item has already shipped before you cancel, the package will still arrive. You have the standard Amazon return window — usually 30 days from delivery — to return it for a refund. Open the order in Your Orders, select Return items, and follow the prompts to print a label or drop it off at a Whole Foods or Amazon return location.

If the item is in your cart but has not shipped yet, canceling the subscription will not remove it from your cart. You will need to delete it manually if you do not want to buy it as a one-time purchase. Check your cart after canceling to make sure nothing unexpected is there.

Reasons Amazon may offer to keep your subscription

When you select Cancel Subscription, Amazon often shows a discount code — sometimes 5 to 10 percent off your next order, sometimes a dollar amount — as a reason to keep the subscription active. This is optional. You can enter the code if you want to stay subscribed, or you can ignore it and complete the cancellation.

Amazon may also ask why you are canceling — answers like "too frequent," "found a better price," or "do not need it" help Amazon understand which subscriptions people drop. Your answer does not affect whether the cancellation goes through; it is feedback only.

Reordering the same item after cancellation

After you cancel, you can still order the same product whenever you want. It will appear in your search results and on the product page with a Subscribe and Save button. If you set up a new subscription later, the discount will explore to future deliveries, but your first order after cancellation will be at the regular price unless you use a discount code.

Some products show a lower price if you subscribe than if you buy once. If you canceled because the price was too high, check the product page again — prices change, and the Subscribe and Save discount may have improved since you last looked.

What to do if you cannot find your subscription

If you go to Your Subscriptions and do not see the item you want to cancel, it may already be canceled, or it might be listed under a different account if you have multiple Amazon accounts. Try searching for the product name in the search bar on the Your Subscriptions page.

If you still cannot find it, check Your Orders and search for the product name there. If you see it listed as a one-time order rather than a subscription, it was never set up as Subscribe and Save in the first place. If you see a subscription order but it does not appear in Your Subscriptions, contact Amazon Customer Service — they can tell you the status and help you cancel if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be charged if I cancel mid-cycle?

No. Cancellation takes effect when ready, and you will not be charged for the next delivery. If you have already been charged for an upcoming delivery that has not shipped, contact Amazon Customer Service to request a refund.

Can I cancel a Subscribe and Save subscription on the Amazon app?

Yes. Open the app, tap the menu icon, go to Your Account, select Your Subscriptions, tap Actions next to the item, and choose Cancel Subscription. The process is the same as on the website.

What if I want to cancel but keep the discount?

You cannot keep a Subscribe and Save discount without an active subscription. However, you can pause the subscription instead of canceling it, which keeps the discount in place until you resume deliveries.

Do I lose my Subscribe and Save discount on other items if I cancel one?

It depends on how many subscriptions you have. Amazon offers higher discounts when you have more active subscriptions. Canceling one may lower the discount percentage on your remaining subscriptions if you fall into a lower tier.

Can I cancel a subscription someone else set up on my account?

Yes, if you have access to the account. Go to Your Subscriptions and cancel it the same way. If the account belongs to someone else and you do not have their permission, you should ask them to cancel it themselves or contact Amazon Customer Service.
