Starz is a streaming service with original series, movies, and exclusive content. Many people add it as a channel through Amazon Prime Video. The monthly cost typically falls in the $9 to $11 range depending on the platform and any promotions.
If you signed up through Amazon, the charge appears on your Amazon account or the payment method linked to it. Deleting the Starz app does not cancel the subscription.
Billing continues until you turn off auto-renewal in the right Amazon settings. This guide shows the exact steps to stop the recurring charge when Starz is billed through Amazon.
What Is Starz and How Billing Works on Amazon
Starz offers on-demand series and films. Through Amazon you can add it in two main ways: as a Prime Video Channel add-on or through the Starz app on Fire TV or Kindle devices.
Amazon handles the billing and renewal in both cases. You must cancel through Amazon, not through the Starz website or app. Official Starz support confirms this.
Access generally continues until the end of the current billing period after you cancel. Partial refunds are typically not available.
How to Cancel Starz as an Amazon Prime Video Channel
This is the most common path for Starz on Amazon.
- Go to amazon.com in a web browser and sign in with the Amazon account used for the subscription.
- Hover over Account & Lists (or Your Account) and select Memberships & Subscriptions.
- Choose Prime Video Channels.
- Find STARZ under Your Channels.
- Select Cancel Channel or Cancel Subscription.
- Follow the prompts and confirm.
You can also go directly to amazon.com/myvs or the subscriptions page linked from your Amazon account. Amazon typically shows the end date of access on the confirmation screen. Take a screenshot for your records.
How to Cancel Starz if Subscribed Through the Amazon App Store
If you subscribed inside the Starz app on a Fire TV, Fire Stick, or Kindle:
- Go to amazon.com/appstoresubscriptions in a web browser and sign in.
- Locate the STARZ subscription.
- Select Actions next to it.
- Choose Cancel your subscription.
- Confirm the cancellation.
This path is separate from the Prime Video Channels list. Check both places if you are unsure how you signed up.
What Happens After You Cancel
Once you cancel through Amazon, auto-renewal stops. You keep access to Starz content until the end of the current billing period in most cases. After that date the channel ends and you will not be charged again unless you resubscribe.
Canceling Starz does not affect your Amazon Prime membership or other Prime Video channels. Check your next Amazon statement or email confirmations to verify the charge has stopped.
Tips for a Smooth Cancellation
Use a computer or phone browser rather than relying only on the Fire TV or Prime Video app. The full cancel options are clearer on the website.
Cancel before the renewal date if you want to avoid the next charge. Amazon usually lets you reverse a cancellation until the end date if you change your mind.
Keep the confirmation screen and any email Amazon sends. If the subscription does not appear, try signing out and back in, or check whether you used a different Amazon account.
Common Problems and Solutions
You cannot find STARZ in your channels list. Make sure you are signed into the correct Amazon account. Also check the App Store subscriptions page at amazon.com/appstoresubscriptions in case it was billed that way.
You still see a charge after canceling. Confirm the cancellation showed an end date and that it was before the next billing cycle. Contact Amazon customer service with your screenshot if a charge appears after that date.
The Starz app still works or shows as active. That is normal until the paid period ends. The app itself cannot cancel an Amazon-billed subscription.
FAQs About How to Cancel Starz Subscription on Amazon
Q: Does deleting the Starz app cancel my Amazon subscription?
No. Removing the app only deletes it from the device. The subscription stays active and renews through Amazon until you cancel it in your Amazon account settings.
Q: Will I get charged again after I cancel Starz on Amazon?
Not if you complete the cancellation before the next renewal. Auto-renewal turns off and the next charge should not occur. Always verify on your following statement.
Q: Can I cancel Starz inside the Starz app or on starz.com if I pay through Amazon?
No. When Amazon bills you, cancellation must go through Amazon. The Starz website and app cannot stop an Amazon-billed subscription.
Q: What if I started with a free trial through Amazon?
Cancel the same way through Prime Video Channels or the App Store subscriptions page before the trial ends if you want to avoid the first paid charge. Access continues until the trial or paid period ends.
Conclusion
Canceling your Starz subscription on Amazon is done through your Amazon account, not the Starz app. Go to Memberships & Subscriptions, open Prime Video Channels, find STARZ, and select Cancel Channel. If it was added through the Starz app on a Fire device, use the App Store subscriptions page instead.
You keep access until the end of the current period, then the recurring charge stops. Save the confirmation and check your next statement. These steps end the auto-renewal cleanly.
