How much you save by cancelling - yearly calculation

Compute yearly cost for Amazon Music Unlimited plans (monthly price x 12):

• Individual (Prime) £10.99 x 12 = £131.88 per year
• Individual (Non-Prime) £11.99 x 12 = £143.88 per year
• Family £19.99 x 12 = £239.88 per year (annual option also listed at £169)
• Single Device £5.99 x 12 = £71.88 per year
• Student £5.99 x 12 = £71.88 per year

Cheapest competitor from the listed options: Qobuz at £10.83 per month. Qobuz yearly: £10.83 x 12 = £129.96 per year.

Yearly savings examples:

• Switch from Individual (Prime) £131.88 to Qobuz £129.96 = £1.92 saved per year (131.88 - 129.96 = £1.92).
• Switch from Individual (Non-Prime) £143.88 to Qobuz £129.96 = £13.92 saved per year (143.88 - 129.96 = £13.92).
• Switch from Family £239.88 to Single Device £71.88 = £168.00 saved per year (239.88 - 71.88 = £168.00), noting feature differences.

Key UK laws and regulator

The main protections for UK consumers are the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 adds cooling-off and renewal protections for digital subscription contracts. The regulator enforcing consumer and competition law is the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

Cooling-off and refunds

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have a 14-day right to withdraw from an online contract, with a refund, unless you gave express consent to start the digital service immediately. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 clarifies cooling-off rights for subscription renewals. See the statutory text: Digital Markets Act - section 267 and Digital Markets Act - cooling-off rights.

Escalation steps

1) Complain to Amazon customer service and ask for written confirmation of refusal or outcome documented with dates. 2) Seek advice from Citizens Advice if Amazon does not resolve the issue. 3) For persistent problems involving unfair terms or hard-to-cancel subscriptions contact the CMA. 4) For payment disputes consider contacting your card issuer for chargeback or Section 75 protection where the payment method and amount qualify under card scheme rules. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 prohibits disproportionate cancellation penalties.

Check access and final date

After cancellation the subscription remains active until the end of the current billing period. Verify the final access date in your Amazon Music Settings and check for any confirmation messages in your account email.

Data, downloads and playlists

Downloaded tracks and offline content may become inaccessible after the subscription ends. Export or back up playlists or use third-party playlist export tools before the end date if you want to keep lists of songs.

Final billing and refunds

Payment for Unlimited Plans is generally non-refundable except where law provides a refund, such as within the 14-day cooling-off period for UK customers who withdraw. To request a refund where eligible, contact Amazon customer service and provide order number and payment details.

Re-activation

You can re-subscribe at any time through the Amazon Music page. Re-subscribing may restore access to your library subject to Amazon account terms.

Follow this checklist to cancel cleanly and keep proof.

• Sign in to Amazon and cancel via Amazon Music Settings or via the App Store / Google Play if you subscribed through them.
• Note the cancellation confirmation screen or message and save any confirmation email.
• If cancelling by post, send a registered letter to: Amazon Unlimited, 60 Holborn Viaduct, EC1A 2FD London, United Kingdom and keep tracked proof of postage and delivery. Allow at least 10 working days.
• If within 14 days of purchase, assert your cooling-off right and request a refund quoting the order number.
• Check your bank or card statement for future charges and contact your card issuer if an unauthorised renewal occurs.
• If you are disputing a charge, collect written responses from Amazon and escalate to Citizens Advice or CMA if unresolved.
