To check whether you have Amazon Prime, sign in at amazon.com, hover over Account & Lists and select Prime Membership (or go straight to amazon.com/prime). If you’re a member, the page shows your plan, when it renews and how much you pay. If you’re not, it offers to start a membership or free trial instead. In the Amazon app, tap the profile icon, then Your Account > Prime membership.
Applies to: Amazon.com accounts on the website and the Amazon Shopping app for iPhone and Android. Other Amazon country sites work the same way. Last reviewed October 7, 2026.
Check on the Amazon website
- Go to amazon.com and sign in.
- Hover over Account & Lists at the top right.
- Select Prime Membership (sometimes listed as Memberships & Subscriptions).
- Read the details: your plan (monthly or yearly), the next payment date and amount, and the card it’s charged to.
The same page lets you switch between monthly and annual billing, turn off renewal reminders, or end the membership.
Check in the Amazon app
- Open the Amazon Shopping app and sign in.
- Tap the profile icon at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap Your Account, then Prime membership (or Manage Prime Membership).
Quick signs that you have Prime
- The Amazon logo at the top of the site or app says prime.
- Products marked with the Prime check show free fast delivery at checkout without a minimum order.
- You can watch Included with Prime films and shows in Prime Video without paying extra.
These are useful hints, but only the Prime Membership page confirms it.
Find out if you’re paying for Prime
If you see charges you don’t recognize:
- Search your email for Amazon Prime receipts or renewal notices.
- Check bank and card statements for charges labeled Amazon Prime or Prime Video.
- Check every Amazon account you have. People often have Prime on an old email address they forgot about. Sign in with each one and check the Prime Membership page.
Prime through someone else
- Amazon Household: a Prime member can share many benefits, such as shipping and Prime Video, with one other adult and with teens and children in their household. If you’re in a Household, you may get Prime benefits without paying yourself. Check Account & Lists > Amazon Household.
- A phone or broadband plan: some carriers include Prime or Prime Video. Check your plan’s extras.
- Prime Video only: a standalone Prime Video subscription gives you video but not Prime shipping. It appears separately under Memberships & Subscriptions.
Discounted Prime plans
Amazon offers reduced-price Prime for students (Prime for Young Adults) and for people on certain government assistance programs (Prime Access). The Prime Membership page shows which plan you’re on and when any discount ends.
End or pause a membership
- Open the Prime Membership page.
- Select Manage membership > End membership.
- Follow the prompts. Amazon may offer to pause instead, or remind you of benefits; keep selecting the option to end.
If you haven’t used any Prime benefits since your last charge, Amazon may offer a full or partial refund.
Troubleshooting
The page says I’m not a member, but I’m being charged
You’re probably signed in to a different account than the one being charged. Look at the email address on the charge receipt, and sign in with that account. Also check whether the charge is for Prime Video, Kindle Unlimited or another subscription under Memberships & Subscriptions.
Prime shows on my phone but not on my computer
The two devices are signed in to different Amazon accounts. Sign out and sign in with the same email on both.
Frequently asked questions
Can I watch Prime Video on my PC or TV?
Yes. Use the website, the Prime Video app, or a Fire TV Stick. See how to connect a Fire TV Stick to a laptop and how to cast Windows 11 to a TV.
Does Prime renew automatically?
Yes, unless you turn off renewal on the Prime Membership page. Amazon usually emails a reminder before an annual renewal.
