Why I Cancelled Amazon Prime

By David J. Stewart | December 2024

Proverbs 1:15-19, “My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.”

       I had received an advertisement from Amazon.com a few years ago, trying to lure me in with an offer to watch over 100,000 movies, if I signed up for Amazon Prime. So, I did sign up for $125 a year. The first thing I did was go to watch the movie I had seen, that impressed upon me, and I wanted to see it. But then Amazon dishonestly required me to pay an additional $3.95 to watch the particular movie title I had selected. That made me very angry, because Amazon never said that up front.

They deceived me, advertising movie titles that I could watch as an Amazon Prime member, but then they pulled the old infamous Bait & Switch tactic on me, which I absolutely hate. I realized in a moment that Amazon were shady crooks, and that they were going to attempt to nickel and dime me to death every time I wanted to see a movie. Amazon.com are LIARS!!!

So, I immediately cancelled my Amazon Prime membership, because I refuse to have anything to do with a shifty, lying, greedy, corrupt, corporation, that tricks people to get their money. Amazon were so shady that they made me wait 30 days before I could cancel my membership. During that frustrating time Amazon bombarded me with a dozen emails trying to get me to change my mind, asking me if I was sure I wanted to cancel my Prime membership. I was persistent, yes, yes, yes, I absolutely want to cancel my Prime membership, not only because they deceived me, but also because they are thugs who make it very difficult to cancel your membership once you sign up. I hate bullies!

I hate Amazon.com for the way they abuse their customers. They have a good business model, but their customer support is worthless. I was literally banned from writing any more product reviews, because Amazon's idiot employees falsely accused me of "hate speech| for mentioning "The Little Rascals" show from the 1970's. Amazon foolishly out sources all customer support to foreign countries, and they don't understand American culture, so they make dumbass decisions and mistreat customers. I hate Amazon! Their owner, Jeff Bezos (net worth of $250,000,000,000) has blood on his hands for all their abused customers. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has over 50,000 complaints against Amazon.

Shame on Amazon!
