Have you ever stopped to think about the abundance of data that Amazon collects about you? It goes far beyond your preferred shampoo brand or your pet’s food preferences. If you’re curious and want to explore everything that Amazon knows about you, simply follow this link to get a copy of your data.
But let’s talk about Amazon Clinic, a whole new level of data collection. You’re probably wondering if it’s safe to use. Brace yourself because what you’re about to hear might shock you.
Now, let’s shift our focus to Amazon Prime. If you find cancelling your Amazon Prime membership to be as challenging as taking the SATs, you’re not alone in feeling that way. The Big Tech giant intentionally designed it to be difficult. Let’s delve deeper into what you get with Amazon Prime, whether it’s worth its cost, and how to cancel if it isn’t the right fit for you.
But it doesn’t end there. There are some alarming signs that your Amazon account may have been hacked. What should you do in such a situation? The Federal Trade Commission has filed a lawsuit against Amazon, claiming that they concealed their deceptive practices from federal investigators. It is said that Amazon’s executives purposely delayed or rejected changes that could have simplified the cancellation process.
One of their schemes, codenamed “Iliad Flow,” was inspired by Homer’s legendary epic about the Trojan War. Additionally, Amazon has an influencer platform called Inspire, where some individuals claim to be earning up to $50,000 per month. You can learn how to set up your own Inspire platform as well.
Now, let’s discuss whether Amazon Prime is worth your money. For a yearly fee of $139 (or $14.99 per month), Prime offers several enticing features that keep customers hooked. These include free two-day delivery on over 10 million items, free one-day or same-day shipping on select orders, exclusive access to Prime Day deals, two-hour grocery delivery, and streaming music, movies, and TV shows through Prime Music and Prime Video. However, if you only shop on Amazon occasionally and don’t care about the extras, Prime may not be worth it for you. Often, the cost of shipping fees without Prime falls between $4 and $10, which may override the benefits of a membership.
If you’re hesitant about committing to Prime, you can always opt for a free 30-day trial to test it out. Alternatively, if you only shop on Amazon infrequently, you can sign up for a monthly membership and cancel it once you’re finished.
Now, let’s talk about canceling your Prime membership. Whether you want to do it from your computer or smartphone, the process is relatively straightforward. Here are the steps:
Canceling Prime through the Amazon App:
1. Open the Amazon app and click on the three lines in the bottom right corner.
