Dog Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Just got my credit card bill and found a charge of £47.57 for Amazon Prime.Had no idea what it was for.Having searched Amazon site I know find it's some sort of deal where you get free overnight delivery for this annual charge.I did not sign up for it and it is of no use to me as they won't send to France in this deal.Have emailed a complaint - keep an eye out for this on your bills.

Clair Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 When you sign up for the Premium service, you have a month to change your mind as the payment is not due until then.I used it earlier this year to get some orders delivered FOC and cancelled it before my card was debited.

Dog Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 On their site tonight I read they accept cancelation if it isn't used. I didn't even know I'd used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I was got by this earlier in the year, not having read T & Ts - very silly! Be warned that if you get signed up for this it is renewed annually unless you stop it; there's a button for this. I unsubscribed when I discovered the charges!GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 I didn't realise I had signed up for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Nor did I, I just thought the 'one click' looked a quick way to order, didn't bother to see what it entailed - lazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I believe it's called Inertia Selling...........you're inert and they sell! Sorry, shouldn't be amused but you know, you have to put it down to Experience and, as someone or other has said, Experience doesn't come cheap.You have my sympathy, really........[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I use 1 click but I don't get charged any extra, I think 1 click and Amazon Prime are separate entities.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 [quote user="Russethouse"] I use 1 click but I don't get charged any extra, I think 1 click and Amazon Prime are separate entities....[/quote]Yes, they are separate services. Activating one does not activate the other. I have always avoided 1-click, as you only have very little time to change your mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 After my email of complaint - give them fair due they replied quickly... I received the following email..(I have made more than four changes to avoid copyright problems...)If you didn't intend to convert your membership to a full 12-month membership, you should have selected "Do Not Upgrade" in your subscription options. This information was provided in your “Amazon Prime Free Trial Membership Confirmation” email that we sent to you (which they didn't) in the Amazon Prime help pages, terms and conditions. We are sorry if this was not clear when you signed up for the Amazon Prime free trial membership. (Too true sport).If you want to end your membership to a full 12-month membership, you can cancel your Amazon Prime membership and receive a full refund of the membership fee as you or your registered guests have not yet used your Amazon Prime benefits after the upgrade date listed above.To cancel your membership to Amazon Prime and receive a full refund, please visit the membership cancellation page.I have cancelled my membership hopefully I will be refunded. Conning people with unfair marketing and dodgy T&C's is not on. I would still like to know how I signed up for this expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyF Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 The only explanation I can think of is that you accidently chose the "Free delivery and trial of Amazon Prime" (or whatever it's called) option when choosing your delivery method for a purchase. I've never used i-click, as the ordinary purchasing procedure on Amazon is so sinmple and speedy that I can't think why anyone would want to do it faster.
