Owning an Amazon account comes with a lot of benefits and values, that’s why they’ve got millions of users subscribed to their services and buying from the website. However, even with all of these benefits and values, there are those that might feel they don’t get enough value from the platform and might want to move on and try other platforms.
If you fall into this category, then you’re in luck as we will be showing you how to close your Amazon account in this article. But before that, there are a couple of things you should note:
- First, you should know that deleting your Amazon account will completely erase your purchase history from its website.
- You will lose access to all your Amazon accounts, including Audible.com and accounts on different country domains (like amazon.co.uk and amazon.de).
- Your Amazon account is shared across all Amazon’s services, so if you delete it, you’ll lose access to Kindle eBooks, Audible, digital music, Amazon apps, Prime videos, etc.
- You won’t be able to return or refund items ordered by the account, nor will you be able to use Amazon gift cards or other vouchers.
