Frequently asked questions
Cancel Amazon Music Unlimited: The Right Way
How to cancel Amazon Music Unlimited in new zealand and reclaim your money
What Amazon Music Unlimited is and why you might cancel
Amazon Music Unlimited is a premium music streaming service offering access to over 100 million songs with high-quality audio across all your devices-from smartphones to Alexa speakers, tablets, and smart home equipment. Unlike the free Prime Music tier that comes bundled with an Amazon Prime membership, Unlimited gives you the complete catalogue and HD or Ultra HD streaming options.
You might decide to cancel for several reasons: you've switched to Spotify or Apple Music, the monthly subscription no longer fits your budget, your listening habits have changed, or you discovered features don't match your expectations. Yafee understands that cancelling a streaming service is often the right financial decision, and this guide walks you through every cancellation method available to New Zealand customers so you can stop paying for a service you no longer use.
How Amazon Music Unlimited differs from prime Music
Prime Music comes free with an active Amazon Prime membership and offers a curated selection of approximately 2 million songs. Amazon Music Unlimited is a separate, paid subscription that unlocks the entire catalogue of over 100 million tracks and superior audio quality. Having a Prime membership does not automatically grant you Unlimited access-you must pay an additional monthly fee.
If you subscribed to Unlimited believing it came included with Prime, you are not alone in this confusion. Cancelling is straightforward, and Yafee specialises in helping customers navigate exactly this situation.
Who should cancel Amazon Music Unlimited
Cancel if you have switched to a competing service, if the monthly cost no longer aligns with your budget, or if you rarely stream music. Some New Zealand customers find the service costs more than expected because Amazon charges in Australian dollars (AUD) that convert to NZD at the point of transaction, and exchange rate fluctuations can surprise you month-to-month.
Amazon Music Unlimited pricing in new zealand
Amazon bills for this service using Australian dollar pricing that flows through to New Zealand payment methods and accounts, though the exact local currency display varies by your app store and payment method.
| Plan type | Monthly cost (AUD) | Approx NZD | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Echo device plan | AUD 4.99 | ~NZD 5.50 | One Alexa speaker only |
| Individual plan | AUD 11.99 | ~NZD 13.20 | All your personal devices |
| Family plan | AUD 17.99 | ~NZD 19.80 | Up to six household members |
Important: Currency conversion means your actual NZD charge can vary between months. Before you cancel, check your last invoice to confirm the exact amount you have been charged in New Zealand dollars. This figure becomes critical if you later request a refund based on your Consumer Guarantees Act rights.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 protects you when you purchase goods and services, including digital subscriptions like Amazon Music Unlimited. Understanding your legal position helps you cancel with confidence and pursue remedies if the service fails to meet agreed standards.
What the consumer guarantees act protects
The Consumer Guarantees Act guarantees that services you purchase must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and delivered within a reasonable timeframe. For a music streaming subscription, this means Amazon must provide continuous access to the service during your subscription period, maintain reasonable uptime, and ensure the audio quality matches what is advertised.
If you experience persistent technical faults-such as frequent crashes, inability to stream, or audio quality far below Ultra HD standards when advertised-you may have grounds to cancel and claim a refund under this Act, even if you are outside any standard refund window. Yafee recommends documenting any technical issues with screenshots and dates before pursuing this route.
Your legal position when you cancel
If you cancel before your billing date: You retain access to the service until the end of your current billing cycle. You are not entitled to a refund for the current subscription period unless you cancel within a cooling-off window or discover a fault with the service.
If Amazon fails to deliver the service: You may request a partial or full refund under the Consumer Guarantees Act. The onus is on Amazon to prove the service met its quality obligations.
If you cancel due to a contract dispute: Document your reasons clearly. The Commerce Commission (comcom.govt.nz) enforces consumer law in New Zealand and accepts complaints if Amazon refuses to honour cancellation requests or wrongfully charges your account after you cancel.
How to cancel Amazon Music Unlimited in new zealand
Your cancellation method depends on where you originally subscribed: directly through Amazon's website, via Apple's App Store, through Google Play, or by voice command on an Alexa device. Yafee has verified each pathway so you cancel with complete clarity.
Cancel directly through amazon's website
This is the fastest route if you signed up on amazon.co.nz or amazon.com.
- Open your web browser and navigate to amazon.co.nz (or the Amazon regional site you use).
- If you are outside New Zealand but use a New Zealand payment method, you may access amazon.com instead.
- Sign in with your Amazon account email and password.
- Ensure you use the correct account if you manage multiple Amazon profiles.
- Hover over your account name in the top-right corner and select Your Account.
- On mobile, tap the three horizontal lines (menu icon) and find Account.
- Scroll down to the section labelled Subscriptions and memberships or Music subscriptions.
- The exact label varies by page layout; look for any link mentioning "subscriptions" or "memberships".
- Locate Amazon Music Unlimited in your list of active subscriptions.
- If you have multiple Music subscriptions, ensure you select the Unlimited tier, not Prime Music.
- Click Cancel subscription or Manage subscription next to Amazon Music Unlimited.
- Amazon displays a cancellation confirmation screen.
- Confirm your cancellation by clicking the final Cancel button.
- Amazon typically offers a brief discount to retain you; you may decline this offer and proceed with cancellation.
- Amazon sends a confirmation email to your registered account email address.
- Save this email as proof of cancellation for your records.
Cancel through apple's app store
If you subscribed to Amazon Music Unlimited via an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you must cancel through Apple's subscription settings, not through Amazon directly.
- On your Apple device, open the Settings app (iPhone or iPad) or System Preferences (Mac).
- Do not open the Amazon Music app itself; Apple manages subscriptions centrally.
- Tap or click your name at the top of the screen.
- On a Mac, look for your Apple ID in the menu.
- Select Subscriptions or Media and Purchases.
- The label depends on your iOS or macOS version.
- Find Amazon Music Unlimited in your active subscription list.
- You may need to scroll to find it if you have multiple app subscriptions.
- Tap or click Amazon Music Unlimited.
- A detailed subscription screen appears.
- Select Cancel subscription or Edit and then choose to cancel.
- Apple confirms the cancellation immediately on screen.
- You retain access until the end of your current billing period.
- Apple sends a confirmation email to your Apple ID email address.
Cancel through google play on android devices
If you subscribed via an Android phone or tablet, cancel through Google Play's subscription management.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the menu icon (three lines) in the top-left corner.
- Select Subscriptions.
- You see all your active app subscriptions.
- Tap Amazon Music Unlimited.
- Do not confuse this with the Amazon Music app itself.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Google Play displays a cancellation confirmation page.
- Confirm cancellation by tapping the final Cancel button.
- Google Play sends a confirmation email to your Google account.
- You retain access until the end of your current billing cycle.
- After that date, your subscription terminates automatically.
Cancel using voice command on an alexa device
If you subscribed to the Echo device plan specifically for one Alexa speaker, you can cancel using your voice or through Alexa's mobile app.
- Say to your Alexa device: "Alexa, cancel my Amazon Music Unlimited subscription."
- Alexa confirms that your subscription will end at the next billing date.
- Alternatively, open the Alexa mobile app on your smartphone.
- Tap the menu icon (three lines) at the bottom.
- Select Settings and then Music and Podcasts.
- Look for subscription management options.
- Tap Amazon Music Unlimited and then Cancel Subscription.
- The app displays a confirmation.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not mean immediate loss of access. Understanding the timeline and what you retain helps you plan your music listening and avoid surprises.
Your access timeline after cancellation
When you submit a cancellation request, Amazon honours your subscription through the end of your current billing period. If your billing date is the 15th of the month and you cancel on the 5th, you retain full access to all 100 million songs and HD streaming until 14 days later.
After your subscription period ends, you lose access to Unlimited's full catalogue. You revert to Prime Music (if you hold an active Prime membership) or to Amazon's free music tier, which offers limited songs and ad breaks.
Refund eligibility and timelines
Amazon's standard refund policy does not permit refunds for subscription periods already used. However, the Consumer Guarantees Act allows you to request a refund if the service failed to meet acceptable quality standards during your subscription-for example, if you experienced persistent streaming failures or audio quality issues that Amazon did not resolve.
If you believe you are entitled to a refund under consumer law, contact Amazon directly with evidence (screenshots, dates, descriptions of faults). If Amazon refuses, you may lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission or pursue a small claims action through the District Court.
Yafee has supported thousands of New Zealand consumers in recovering refunds for failed digital services, and we recommend documenting all communication with Amazon in writing (email, not chat) so you have a clear record.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is simple, but a few missteps can leave you charged beyond your intended date or locked into a longer commitment than planned. Here's what to watch out for.
Uninstalling the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Deleting the Amazon Music app from your device does not cancel your subscription. Amazon continues to bill your payment method each month. You must explicitly cancel through the method that matches where you subscribed (Amazon website, App Store, Google Play, or Alexa app).
Confusing Amazon Music with prime Music
If you hold an Amazon Prime membership and also subscribed to Unlimited, you have two separate services. Cancelling Unlimited does not affect Prime Music, which remains available for free. Some customers cancel Unlimited thinking they are cancelling Prime, then remain confused when the Prime Music tier persists.
Cancelling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed through Apple's App Store, cancelling directly on Amazon's website will not work. You must cancel where you subscribed. Yafee recommends checking your last invoice or bank statement to identify which platform processed your payment, then cancelling there.
Missing your confirmation email
Amazon sends a confirmation email after you cancel. If this email lands in your spam folder, you may believe cancellation failed when it actually succeeded. Check your spam and promotions folders, and save the confirmation email as proof.
Refunds and special circumstances
Standard subscription refunds are rare, but New Zealand law provides avenues for recovery if the service failed or if you were misled about what you purchased.
Requesting a refund under the consumer guarantees act
If you experienced technical failures-streaming timeouts, app crashes, audio quality issues-that Amazon failed to resolve, you have the right to request a refund for the affected period. Your claim must demonstrate that the service fell below "acceptable quality" under consumer law.
Contact Amazon's customer service team and explain the fault clearly, with dates and evidence. If Amazon denies your claim, escalate to the Commerce Commission at comcom.govt.nz, which enforces consumer protections in New Zealand.
Billing errors and unwanted charges
If Amazon continues to charge your payment method after you cancel, contact your bank or credit card provider immediately to report the unauthorized transaction. Most financial institutions reverse charges within 30 days and investigate the merchant. Simultaneously, contact Amazon and request a full refund in writing.
Comparison of cancellation methods
This table summarises the cancellation routes, how long they take, and where each method works best.
| Cancellation method | Time to complete | Best for | Confirmation method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon website (amazon.co.nz) | 2-3 minutes | Most users | Email receipt |
| Apple App Store (iOS/Mac) | 2-3 minutes | iPhone or iPad subscribers | Email receipt |
| Google Play (Android) | 2-3 minutes | Android device users | Email receipt |
| Alexa voice command | 1 minute | Echo device plan holders | Device voice confirmation |
A final checklist before you complete cancellation
Run through these steps to ensure your cancellation is successful and you are fully protected.
- Confirm which platform processed your subscription (Amazon website, App Store, Google Play, or Alexa).
- Log in to that platform and navigate to your subscriptions section.
- Verify that Amazon Music Unlimited (not Prime Music) is the service you are cancelling.
- Note your current billing cycle end date so you know when access will terminate.
- Complete the cancellation process and save the confirmation email.
- Check your email (including spam) within 24 hours for a confirmation receipt from Amazon or your payment provider.
- Monitor your payment method for one final charge on your next scheduled billing date-after that date, no further charges should appear.
- If you were charged after cancelling, contact Amazon customer service immediately with your confirmation email as proof.
Contact details and escalation routes
If you cannot cancel through the self-service methods above, or if Amazon refuses to honour your cancellation, you have formal complaint pathways.
Amazon customer service in new zealand
Amazon does not maintain a dedicated New Zealand phone line for Music Unlimited. Instead, use the contact form within your Amazon account by selecting Contact Us in your account menu. Select the reason as Subscriptions & Memberships or Music Services, describe your issue, and request cancellation confirmation. Amazon's customer service team typically responds within 24-48 hours.
Commerce commission escalation
If Amazon fails to cancel your subscription or wrongfully charges you after cancellation, lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission at comcom.govt.nz. The Commission investigates breaches of the Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act 1986. You do not need a lawyer to file a complaint, and the service is free.
Dispute resolution through your bank
If Amazon continues to bill your credit card or bank account after you cancel, contact your financial institution directly. Most banks reverse unauthorized charges within 30 days and open an investigation with the merchant on your behalf. This is often faster than waiting for Amazon to respond.
