Amazon Prime rip off.

[glenm64]

I just checked my CC statement.
Amazon have billed me and signed me up to to their Amazon Prime subscription. Sneaky pr*cks, I have never signed up for their premium service. Its a monthly fee of $15.04 AUD they charge for a "premium" service, free shipping on certain products by certain sellers, I bet it will only be USA too.
If you use Amazon check your credit card statements. Good luck trying to contact them. Looks like I will be cancelling my account. Good riddens to the maggots.

Cheers Glen

Didnt that insurance mob YouI  get done for something similar recently ?   When enquiring about insurance quote they needed  your credit card details as part of it or something, they then signed you up for some sort of policy / fees . .

Contact them, I have had to deal with them once for warranty and their service was 2nd to none, I bought a mobile phone through them and had a issue (known issue for the phone) They had a replacement here in two days and I had a month to return the old one which they then reimbursed the return shipping costs. They tend to be known for good customer service.

warranty and 'stop taking money off me' are 2 different things LOL

Went onto their web page and it was impossible to find anything but generic contact us.
On the mobile app I found an unsubscribe link, so hopefully thats taken care of that.

You didn't sign up to Amazon Prime TV to watch top gear did you? Just saw the add for it on TV.

I got an email back confirming cancellation, including refund due to non use of premium service.
Just wanted others that use Amazon to be aware.

Good to hear, still a bit of a mystery why you got it in the first place but good to see they made good.

Early this year I signed to the UK Amazon Prime service, in order to watch The Grand Tour. Due to travels I never ended up using it beyond the free first month. It got charged a month or two, and due to non-use they quickly refunded all charges after I queried.

Was very good service.
