During the trial period, you can cancel your subscription at any time without having to pay anything.
Is Prime Video Included in an Amazon Prime Subscription?

How to Cancel Your Amazon Prime Video Subscription?

How to watch Amazon Prime Video from abroad
While it’s possible to watch movies and TV shows on Amazon Prime Video from abroad, the titles on offer may vary. This is especially true when travelling outside the European Union, where Amazon may not hold the copyright to some titles.
The solution for accessing all domestic titles from anywhere in the world is easy. Just install VPN on your phone or computer, which can virtually change your location. Just pick the right server from the menu, and Amazon Prime Video will think you’re at home on the couch when you’re actually lying on a beach in the Maldives.
A VPN has the added benefit of allowing you to access foreign shows that are unavailable here. Prime Video tries to combat the use of VPNs by blocking the IP addresses of these services. But VPN operators are constantly adding addresses, so it’s a bit of a cat and mouse game. Very often, all you have to do is log back in to the server. By reconnecting, the IP address is changed to a different one that may no longer be on the blocked list.
The best results in unblocking videos from the Amazon Prime Video platform were achieved with NordVPN. With an average download speed of 183 Mb/s, playback was smooth even at ultra-high 4k resolution. Together with Prime Video, we were able to unblock all the platforms we tested, including Netflix, YouTube, HBO Max, and Disney Plus. Additionally, NordVPN guarantees excellent levels of security and privacy, and has been independently audited for this.

How to save money on your Amazon Prime Video subscription
1️⃣ Share Your Prime Video Account With Friends
Amazon Prime Video can be used on three different devices at the same time, with up to two of them playing the same video. So all you have to do is get a group together, create a family, and fold in your subscription. There can be more than three people in one group, as it’s not entirely likely that everyone is watching movies and TV shows at the same time.
2️⃣ Cancel Your Amazon Prime Video Subscription
Think about how many times you’ve watched a movie or show from Prime Video in the last three months. Once, twice, or not even that? You’re probably spending unnecessarily on your subscription, and if you cancel it today, you won’t lose anything.
3️⃣ Rotate Subscriptions to Different Services
Is the previous tip too radical for you because you’d hate to miss out on your favorite shows that are only available on Amazon Prime? The solution is simple.
Alternate your Prime Video subscription with Netflix, HBO Max or Disney Plus throughout the year. Catch up on new movies and shows within a month or two, then cancel your subscription. You won’t miss out on your favorite content and you’ll only pay for one service at a time.
