Frequently asked questions
Cancel Amazon Music: The Right Way
How to cancel Amazon Music in new zealand and protect your rights
What Amazon Music is and why you might want to cancel
Amazon Music is a streaming service that delivers millions of songs, curated playlists, and radio stations directly to your devices. Many New Zealand subscribers value its seamless integration with Amazon Prime membership, Alexa devices, and Echo speakers. However, if the service no longer meets your needs, your budget has tightened, or you have found a better alternative, cancelling is straightforward once you understand which path applies to you.
The challenge for most New Zealand users is that cancellation methods differ depending on where you signed up. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or directly via Amazon's website, you will follow distinct steps. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate these exact scenarios, so this guide will walk you through each path with precision.
Common reasons new zealanders cancel Amazon Music
You might cancel because you have switched to Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube Music. Perhaps your subscription overlaps with Amazon Prime Music, making it redundant. You could be tightening your budget and cutting streaming services. Or perhaps the audio quality does not justify the monthly cost. Whatever your reason, you deserve a straightforward exit without hidden obstacles.
How much does Amazon Music cost in new zealand
Pricing depends on which plan you choose and where you manage your subscription. The table below shows current New Zealand pricing, although rates may shift over time.
| Plan | Price per month (NZ$) | Billing period | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon Music Standard | $11.99 | Monthly | Standard audio quality, ad-free streaming |
| Amazon Music HD | $17.99 | Monthly | High-resolution audio (lossless and spatial) |
| Amazon Music Ultra HD | $21.99 | Monthly | Highest-quality audio, full spatial audio suite |
| Included with Amazon Prime | Included | N/A | Standard quality, limited features (Prime members) |
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
Before you cancel, understanding your legal protections as a New Zealand consumer is essential.
The consumer guarantees act and your subscription
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you have the right to expect that any digital service you pay for is of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and safe. If Amazon Music fails to deliver on these promises-for example, the app crashes repeatedly, audio quality drops unexpectedly, or features disappear without notice-you may be entitled to a refund or compensation.
You also possess the right to cancel within a reasonable timeframe if the service is faulty. If Amazon refuses to acknowledge a legitimate fault, you can escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's consumer protection authority.
Cooling-off period and digital service cancellation
New Zealand's Fair Trading Act grants you a 14-day cooling-off period for most online purchases. However, digital services like Amazon Music may fall outside this window once you have started using the service. That said, if you can demonstrate that the service was misrepresented-for example, you were promised HD audio but only received standard quality-you have grounds to request a refund.
Yafee recommends keeping records of your subscription start date, the plan you purchased, and any technical issues you experience. These details become crucial if you need to escalate a complaint with Amazon customer support or the Commerce Commission.
Your legal position
You are entitled under New Zealand consumer law to cancel a faulty digital service at any time, regardless of billing cycle. If Amazon refuses your cancellation request on grounds of service fault, you have the right to escalate to the Commerce Commission free of charge. In accordance with the Fair Trading Act 1986, any company must respond to a consumer complaint within 20 working days.
How to cancel Amazon Music step by step
Cancellation depends on which platform you used to sign up; follow the steps for your situation to avoid delays or unwanted charges.
Cancel if you subscribed via amazon's website
This is the most direct method if you signed up on Amazon.co.nz or amazon.com and manage your subscription through your Amazon account.
- Visit amazon.com and log in with your Amazon credentials.
- Navigate to "Your Account" in the top-right menu.
- Select "Memberships and Subscriptions" or "Music Library and Account Settings."
- Find "Amazon Music Subscription" in the list of active subscriptions.
- Click "Edit Subscription" or "Manage Subscription."
- Select "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your decision.
- Amazon will display your final billing date.
- Take a screenshot of this confirmation for your records.
- You will receive a confirmation email within 24 hours.
Cancel if you subscribed via the apple app store
If you signed up through an iPhone, iPad, or Mac running iOS or macOS, you must cancel through Apple's subscription management system, not through Amazon directly.
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen, then select "Subscriptions."
- Find "Amazon Music" in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap on "Amazon Music" and select "Cancel Subscription."
- Apple will confirm your cancellation immediately.
- Save a screenshot of the confirmation message.
- On Mac, open System Preferences, click "Apple ID," then navigate to "Subscriptions" and follow the same process.
- Amazon will send a confirmation email confirming the cancellation through Apple's billing system.
Cancel if you subscribed via google play
If you signed up through an Android device or the Google Play Store, cancel through Google's subscription portal.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions," then "Subscriptions."
- Find "Amazon Music" in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm your decision.
- Google will display your final billing date.
- Screengrab this confirmation.
- Amazon will email you a cancellation notice within 24 hours.
Cancel if you included Amazon Music with Amazon prime
If you subscribed to Amazon Music as part of an Amazon Prime membership, you cannot cancel just the music component separately. However, you can downgrade your Prime membership or cancel Prime entirely, which will remove access to Amazon Music.
- Log in to your Amazon account and go to "Your Account."
- Select "Memberships and Subscriptions."
- Click on your Amazon Prime subscription.
- Select "Edit membership" or "Cancel Membership."
- Amazon will offer you the option to pause Prime for a month or cancel outright.
- If you cancel Prime, Amazon Music access ends immediately.
- Confirm your cancellation.
Cancel by contacting Amazon customer support directly
If the above methods do not work or your subscription is linked to a corporate or family account, contact Amazon Support directly.
- Visit amazon.com and scroll to the bottom of the page.
- Click "Contact Us" under Customer Service.
- Select "Amazon Music" as your issue category.
- Choose "Cancel Subscription" from the dropdown menu.
- Select your preferred contact method: phone, email, or live chat.
- Live chat is the fastest; wait times are typically 5-10 minutes.
- Provide your full name, account email, and subscription details.
- Inform the agent you wish to cancel your subscription effective immediately.
- Request a confirmation email; this protects you if any issues arise.
What happens after you cancel your subscription
Cancellation is complete, but understanding what comes next protects you from unexpected charges.
Your access during the notice period
After you cancel, you retain full access to Amazon Music until the end of your current billing cycle. If your billing date is in 10 days, you can listen to all songs, playlists, and stations until that date. On the renewal date, Amazon removes your access and your account reverts to free tier (if Amazon Prime) or no access (if standalone subscription).
Refunds and credit policies
In accordance with Yafee's consumer guidance, Amazon typically does not issue refunds for partial months. If you cancel on day 5 of a 30-day billing cycle, you lose the remaining 25 days of access without a pro-rata refund. However, you have grounds to request a refund under the Consumer Guarantees Act if the service was faulty or misrepresented.
To request a refund, contact Amazon customer support and explain the fault. In accordance with the Fair Trading Act, provide evidence of the problem-for example, screenshots showing the app crashing or audio quality degradation. Amazon will review your claim and either approve a refund or reject it. If Amazon refuses unreasonably, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission.
Removing your payment method
After cancellation, Amazon may still retain your payment method on file for future purchases or subscriptions. If you wish to remove it, navigate to "Your Account," select "Manage Your Payments," and delete the relevant card or payment method.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling a subscription is rarely difficult, but a few oversights can lead to unwanted charges or confusion.
Assuming automatic cancellation after download
Some users delete the Amazon Music app thinking this cancels their subscription. It does not. Deleting the app only removes the software from your device; Amazon continues to charge you monthly. You must explicitly cancel through the methods above, not through app deletion.
Forgetting to cancel platform-specific subscriptions
If you signed up via Apple App Store or Google Play, cancelling through the Amazon website will not work. You must cancel through the platform where you subscribed. Failure to do so results in continued billing and frustration. Yafee recommends confirming your cancellation method by checking your email receipt from sign-up.
Not capturing confirmation details
Always screenshot your cancellation confirmation, including the date and final billing date. If Amazon later disputes your cancellation or charges you after the end date, this evidence protects you in a complaint to the Commerce Commission. A screenshot takes seconds and can save you significant time and stress.
Ignoring the billing cycle
Cancelling on day 1 of a billing cycle means you lose 29 days of access without refund (unless the service is faulty). Where possible, cancel close to your renewal date to minimise wasted access. You can log in to your Amazon account to check your exact renewal date before cancelling.
Should you keep or cancel Amazon Music
Before finalising your cancellation, compare Amazon Music to your alternatives and your own usage patterns.
| Factor | Keep Amazon Music | Cancel Amazon Music |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | You use HD or Ultra HD and value lossless audio | Standard quality suffices and you find competitors cheaper |
| Integration | You own Alexa devices and like voice control | You do not use Alexa or prefer standalone apps |
| Library | Amazon's catalogue matches your taste | Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube Music suit you better |
| Prime membership | You already pay for Prime and rarely use standalone Music | You are paying for standalone Music when Prime's basic tier covers your needs |
| Budget | Your budget accommodates the monthly cost | You are cutting expenses and music is non-essential |
| Loyalty | You are committed to the Amazon ecosystem | You prefer platform neutrality and portability |
Contacting Amazon Music by post or mail
If you require a mailing address for formal cancellation correspondence or dispute escalation, Amazon's corporate address in the United States is as follows. Note that New Zealand-specific postal addresses for Amazon Music cancellation are not publicly listed; consequently, you may send correspondence to the Seattle headquarters.
Amazon.com, Inc.
410 Terry Avenue North
Seattle, WA 98109
United States
Include your full name, account email address, subscription details, and a clear statement requesting cancellation. Allow 10-15 business days for a response. For disputes under New Zealand consumer law, the Commerce Commission is the faster route and requires no postage.
Escalating a complaint if Amazon refuses cancellation
If Amazon disputes your cancellation request or continues to charge you after you have cancelled, you have the right to escalate under New Zealand law.
Step 1: document your cancellation request
Gather all evidence: screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, confirmation emails from Amazon, bank or credit card statements showing charges, and a log of dates and times you attempted to cancel. This documentation is crucial and strengthens your case.
Step 2: contact Amazon customer support in writing
Send an email to Amazon Support outlining your cancellation request and the dates you attempted to cancel. Request a written response confirming the cancellation and a refund for any unauthorised charges. Keep a copy of this email for your records.
Step 3: escalate to the commerce commission
If Amazon does not respond within 20 working days or refuses your cancellation request without reasonable cause, lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission. Visit www.comcom.govt.nz and complete their online complaint form. The Commerce Commission will investigate at no cost to you and can compel Amazon to refund unauthorised charges or cease billing.

In summary: your next steps
Cancelling Amazon Music in New Zealand is straightforward when you follow the correct procedure for your subscription source. Whether you signed up via the Amazon website, Apple App Store, or Google Play, each path takes five to ten minutes. Consequently, delays or complications are rare when you use the official cancellation methods rather than attempting informal workarounds.
Your legal rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986 protect you if the service was faulty or misrepresented. Furthermore, if Amazon refuses to cancel or continues charging you after cancellation, the Commerce Commission provides free dispute resolution. In accordance with Yafee's commitment to helping New Zealand consumers, we recommend documenting every step-cancellation screenshots, confirmation emails, and payment records-so that you have evidence if escalation becomes necessary.
Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions with confidence and clarity. Whether your decision is financial, preference-based, or due to service fault, you now have a clear roadmap to exit Amazon Music without hassle. If you encounter resistance from Amazon, Yafee recommends escalating to the Commerce Commission rather than accepting an unreasonable refusal. Your rights as a New Zealand consumer are backed by law, and Yafee stands ready to guide you through the process.
