Ever thought about everything Amazon knows about you? I don\u2019t just mean your favorite shampoo and what kind of food your dog eats. Use this link to get a copy of everything Amazon knows.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amazon Clinic is a whole different level of data collection. Is it safe to use? Prepare to be shocked. Here\u2019s my take.<\/a><\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s Prime. If trying to cancel your Amazon Prime membership<\/a> feels like taking the SATs, it’s not just you. The Big Tech behemoth set it up like that on purpose. Let\u2019s take a closer look at what you get, whether it\u2019s worth it and how to cancel if it\u2019s not right for you.<\/p>\n

SCARY SIGNS THAT SOMEONE HACKED YOUR AMAZON ACCOUNT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Operation \u2026 what now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Federal Trade Commission lawsuit claims Amazon hid its schemes from federal investigators<\/a>. Regulators say Amazon execs delayed or straight-up rejected user experience changes that would\u2019ve made the cancellation process simpler.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no wonder they did. Because of the confusing maze of instructions, Amazon reduced cancellations<\/a> by 14%. The runaround includes four pages of deals, offers, snooze alarms and several other distractions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amazon codenamed its scheme “Iliad Flow,” a nod to Homer’s legendary epic about the Trojan War.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One influencer says she\u2019s making up to $50K a month on Amazon\u2019s Inspire platform.\u00a0<\/i>Here\u2019s how to set up your own.<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

Is Prime worth your money?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wondering if Prime’s $139 yearly (or $14.99 monthly) fee is worth it? Here are some of the top features that keep customers hooked:<\/p>\n

Prime probably isn’t worth it if you shop less<\/a> than a few times a month and don\u2019t care about extras like Prime Video.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chances are, the free shipping won’t outweigh the cost of your membership. Without Prime, shipping fees typically cost between $4 and $10.<\/p>\n

You can buy packages from Amazon that the buyer never claimed. Get shopping!<\/a><\/p>\n

IS IT WORTH IT? MUST-HAVE APPS VS. THE MONEY DRAINS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Only shop ion Amazon sometimes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can get a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime<\/a>. If you only shop Amazon a couple of times a year, sign up for a monthly membership and be sure to cancel when you\u2019re done.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How to get through the cancellation maze<\/strong><\/p>\n

Want to ditch your Prime membership? You can do it on your computer<\/a> or smartphone. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n

Canceling Prime through the Amazon App:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canceling Prime from your computer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phew, you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n
