    Did you sign up for a free trial and forget to cancel?

    You need your wits about you when you shop with Amazon. The sneaky devils are determined to give you a free trial of Prime and try a couple of times, on different web pages, to get you to sign up.

    Might have clicked it accidentally? 3 months free trial would take it to May. A mate of mine had a similar thing a few years back, he got in touch and they cancelled it and refunded.

    They are pretty good at refunding if you haven’t used it to be fair. Even by just clicking cancel on the website they offer you the money back.

    Yes happened to me - didn't notice for well over a year. I obviously did not read something attentively enough. Or perhaps it wasn't entirely clear. Either way the last company I'd sub money to if I can help it.

    Wierd thing amazon prime. There isnt one single thing that would make you sign up but for £70 a year its worth it. Free next day delivery for most things, music streaming, free books on kindle, TV and movies. I have a competition with myself to buy cheapest thing I can find with free next day delivery, record so far is nailsticks for 0.97p :D

    They’ve got me with it, it’s an auto check thing when you check out an item very sneaky

    Might as well watch the new Sir Alex Ferguson documentary on there to make the most of it. Watched it earlier and it's superb. Lengthy at an hour and three quarters. Even his brother Martin is on it talking about him as well as his sons and wife.

    They offer prime delivery and a free trial of prime hoping you'll forget to cancel. They really are scummy barstewards. I got stung last month for Kindle free trial....
