Complain About Amazon Prime - File a Complaint Today

Best ways to complain to Amazon Prime

Navigating Amazon's customer service can feel like a maze, but here are the most direct routes.

Immediate to a few minutes, but getting a real solution is another story.

• Call during off-peak hours (like mid-morning on a weekday).
• Use the app to get to the help section faster.
• Have your order number or account email ready before you start.

If the first-line support agent isn't helping, your first step is to ask to speak to a supervisor or have your case escalated. Be firm but polite. If that goes nowhere, it's time to go external. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is a solid option for US customers. You can file a complaint on their website, and they will forward it to a corporate contact at Amazon. Amazon has a team that handles these, and they generally respond. The BBB process works, but it is not fast. Prepare to wait a week or two for a resolution. You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) if you believe their business practices are deceptive, like with the recent ad-free pricing changes.

Subject: Urgent: Unresolved Issue with Prime Membership - Account [[Your Account Email]]

Hi there,

I'm writing again after my chat with support on [[Date]] failed to resolve my issue.

On [[Date of Charge]], I was charged [[$Amount]] for the ad-free Prime Video tier, a service I had specifically opted out of. It is incredibly frustrating to have to chase down a charge that should not have happened in the first place, and it has wasted a significant amount of my time.

To fix this, I need you to refund the full [[$Amount]] charge to my original payment method immediately. I also require written confirmation that my account is set back to the standard, ad-supported plan and that this charge will not recur.

If this isn't corrected within the next 48 hours, my next step will be to file a chargeback with my bank for the incorrect charge.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

• Use the 'magic' email. It's a long shot these days, but people still report success emailing [email protected]. Your message gets routed to a special executive support team that can sometimes solve problems that regular support can't.
• Say the keyword. If you're stuck with a chat bot or a unhelpful agent, use the word 'supervisor' or 'escalate'. This often triggers a transfer to someone with more authority.
• Document everything. I mean everything. Screenshot the chat transcript before you close the window, write down the time and date of your call, and save any case ID numbers they give you. You will probably need it later.

Tired of navigating Amazon's help maze just to be told the same thing by a chatbot? It's a common headache. One user on Reddit said they spent 40 minutes in a chat loop just to be told they couldn't get a refund for an accidental charge. Sound familiar? Pine AI handles the whole annoying process for you. We deal with the back-and-forth and the waiting so you don't have to waste your afternoon. No more repeating your issue to three different agents. Let us take it from here.
