Cancel Paramount Plus Through Your Amazon Account

If you subscribed to Paramount Plus as an add-on through Amazon Prime Video, you cancel it in your Amazon account settings, not in the Paramount Plus app. Amazon handles the billing and subscription management for add-ons purchased through their platform, so that is where the cancellation happens.

The process takes about two minutes. You will need to sign into your Amazon account on a web browser or the Amazon app, navigate to your subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and select the option to cancel. Your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle — you will not lose service when ready, and you will not be charged again.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel Paramount Plus add-ons through Amazon account settings, not through the Paramount Plus app itself.
  • Your subscription continues until the end of your current billing period, so you keep access even after you cancel.
  • If you subscribed directly to Paramount Plus (not through Amazon), you must cancel through the Paramount Plus website or app instead.
  • Cancellation is permanent — if you want to restart later, you will need to add the subscription again and may face a new billing date.

Step-by-Step Cancellation on a Web Browser

Open a web browser and go to amazon.com. Sign in with your Amazon account if you are not already logged in. Look for the account menu in the top right corner — it usually shows your name or "Account & Lists" — and click it.

From the dropdown menu, select Your Account. On the next page, look for a section called Memberships and Subscriptions or Subscriptions (the exact wording varies by region). Click on it. You will see a list of all active subscriptions tied to your Amazon account, including Paramount Plus if it is active.

Find Paramount Plus in the list and click on it. A details panel will open showing your billing date, plan type, and price. Look for a button or link that says Cancel Subscription, Manage Subscription, or Edit. Click it. Amazon will ask you to confirm the cancellation — select Cancel Subscription again to finalize it.

Cancelling on the Amazon App

Open the Amazon app on your phone or tablet and tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) at the bottom right. Scroll down and tap Account. On the account page, look for Memberships and Subscriptions or Your Subscriptions.

Tap on that section to see your list of active subscriptions. Find Paramount Plus and tap it. The subscription details page will show your next billing date and a Cancel Subscription button. Tap the button and confirm when Amazon asks you to verify the cancellation.

What Happens After You Cancel

Your Paramount Plus access continues until the end of your current billing cycle. If your next billing date is December 15th and you cancel on December 1st, you keep full access through December 14th. On December 15th, your subscription ends and you lose access to Paramount Plus content.

Amazon will send you a confirmation email showing the cancellation date. Keep this email for your records. If you change your mind before your access ends, you can re-add the subscription through the same Memberships and Subscriptions page, though the billing date will reset to the day you re-add it.

If You Subscribed Directly to Paramount Plus Instead

Some people subscribe to Paramount Plus directly through the Paramount Plus website or app rather than through Amazon. If that is your situation, cancelling through Amazon will not work because Amazon is not your billing provider.

To check which way you subscribed, look at your email receipts. If the receipt says "Amazon" or "Amazon.com" in the sender line, you subscribed through Amazon. If it says "Paramount" or "ViacomCBS", you subscribed directly. For direct subscriptions, you will need to cancel through the Paramount Plus app or website instead — sign in to your Paramount Plus account, go to Account Settings, find Subscription or Billing, and select Cancel Subscription there.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Do not try to cancel through the Paramount Plus app if you subscribed through Amazon. The Paramount Plus app will not show a cancellation option because Paramount Plus does not handle your billing — Amazon does. Attempting to cancel in the app will waste time and leave your subscription active.

Do not assume cancellation is when ready. Your service ends at the end of your billing cycle, not right away. If you need to stop watching when ready for privacy or account security reasons, you can change your Amazon password and remove payment methods, but the subscription itself will still exist until the cycle ends.

Do not delete the Paramount Plus app thinking it will cancel your subscription. Uninstalling the app does nothing to your account or billing — you will still be charged on your next billing date unless you formally cancel through Amazon.

Restarting Your Subscription Later

If you cancel and later want to watch Paramount Plus again, you can re-add it through the same Memberships and Subscriptions page in your Amazon account. Click Add a Subscription or search for Paramount Plus, then select Add. Your new subscription will begin when ready and you will be billed on the day you re-add it, not on your original billing date.

Paramount Plus sometimes offers promotional pricing for returning subscribers, though this varies. When you go to re-add the subscription, Amazon will show you the current price before you confirm, so you will know the cost before your payment processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose access to my watchlist and saved shows after I cancel?

Your watchlist and viewing history stay in your Paramount Plus account even after you cancel. If you re-subscribe later, those items will still be there. However, any downloads you made to watch offline will disappear once your subscription ends.

Can I cancel in the middle of a billing cycle?

Yes. You can cancel at any time, but you will not receive a refund for the current billing period. Your access continues until the end of that cycle, and then the subscription stops. You will not be charged again after your current period ends.

What if I do not see Paramount Plus in my subscriptions list?

If Paramount Plus is not showing up, it may already be cancelled, or you may have subscribed directly to Paramount Plus instead of through Amazon. Check your email for recent Paramount Plus receipts to see who is billing you. If the receipt is from Paramount, cancel through the Paramount Plus website instead.

Do I need to contact Amazon customer service to cancel?

No. You can cancel on your own through your account settings in under two minutes. Amazon customer service can help if you run into technical problems or need to dispute a charge, but the self-service cancellation is the standard and fastest route.

Will cancelling Paramount Plus affect my Amazon Prime membership?

No. Paramount Plus is an add-on to Prime Video, not part of your Prime membership itself. Cancelling Paramount Plus does not change your Prime status or any other Prime benefits. You will still have access to Prime Video's included content.
