Pro-Tip: If you’re already signed up for prime, you can go to your membership details and cancel auto-renewal OR they allow you to cancel now and will refund whatever they owe you before the renewal date.

I wonder how they handle people signing up to prime for a shipping discount and then immediately cancelling it, only to do so again for their next order...
