Cancel Blink through your Amazon account settings

Blink membership cancels through Amazon, not through a separate Blink website. Log into your Amazon account, go to Your Account in the top right corner, and select Memberships and Subscriptions. Find Blink in the list, click on it, and select Cancel Membership. Amazon will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer a discount to keep you subscribed — you can decline and proceed with the cancellation.

Your membership ends on the date shown in the cancellation screen. You keep access to Blink features until that date, even after you cancel. If you cancel mid-month, you do not get a refund for the unused portion of that month.

If you cannot find Memberships and Subscriptions in your Amazon account, you may have signed up for Blink directly through the Blink app instead of through Amazon. In that case, open the Blink app, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines), select Account Settings, then Subscription, and choose Cancel Subscription.

Key Takeaways

  • Most Blink memberships are managed through Amazon's Memberships and Subscriptions page, not through the Blink app itself.
  • Cancellation takes effect on your next billing date, and you keep full access to Blink until that date arrives.
  • If you signed up through the Blink app directly, you cancel within the app's Account Settings rather than through Amazon.
  • Amazon will not refund the current billing period after you cancel, even if you cancel partway through the month.

What happens to your Blink account after cancellation

Canceling your membership does not delete your Blink account or remove your cameras. Your cameras stay connected and functional, but you lose access to features that require a paid membership. The main feature you lose is cloud video storage — recordings older than 24 hours will no longer save.

You can still view your cameras live through the Blink app and receive motion alerts on your phone. Local storage options (if your camera model supports them) continue to work. If you want to keep your cameras but need storage, you can reactivate your membership at any time by going back to your Amazon Memberships and Subscriptions page.

Reactivating Blink membership if you change your mind

You can turn your membership back on at any time through the same Amazon Memberships and Subscriptions page. Click on Blink, select Renew Now or Reactivate, and your membership resumes when ready. You will be charged on the date you reactivate, and your next charge will be one month later.

If you reactivate within a few days of canceling, Amazon may not have fully processed your cancellation yet. In that case, your next charge date may shift. Check your membership status after reactivating to confirm the new billing date.

Troubleshooting if you cannot find your Blink membership

If Blink does not appear in your Amazon Memberships and Subscriptions list, check whether you signed up through a different method. Some people sign up through the Blink app using an email address that is not linked to their Amazon account. In that case, you need to cancel through the Blink app instead.

Open the Blink app, go to Account Settings, select Subscription, and look for a Cancel or Manage Subscription button. If you still cannot find your subscription, contact Blink support through the app's help menu — they can look up your account by email address and help you cancel.

Checking your Blink billing history

Before you cancel, you may want to confirm when your next charge is due. In Amazon Memberships and Subscriptions, click on Blink and look for the line that says Next Billing Date. This tells you exactly when your membership will renew if you do not cancel.

You can also see past charges by going to Your Account in Amazon, selecting Returns, Orders, and Settings, then Payments. Look for charges labeled "Blink" or "Amazon Prime Video Channels" to see your billing history. If you see a charge you do not recognize, contact Amazon support before canceling — they can investigate whether the charge was authorized.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my camera recordings if I cancel Blink?

Recordings stored in Blink's cloud will be deleted after 24 hours once your membership ends. Any recordings you want to keep should be downloaded to your phone or computer before your cancellation date. If your camera supports local storage, those recordings are not affected by canceling your membership.

Can I cancel Blink without going through Amazon?

If you signed up through the Blink app directly, you must cancel through the app. If you signed up through Amazon, you must cancel through Amazon — Blink support cannot cancel an Amazon-linked membership for you. Check where you signed up by looking at your original confirmation email.

What if I cancel but Amazon charges me again?

Contact Amazon support when ready and provide your order number from the unexpected charge. Amazon can reverse charges made after a cancellation was confirmed. Keep the cancellation confirmation screen or email as proof that you canceled on a specific date.

Do I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?

No. Blink membership charges are not refundable for the current billing period. If you cancel on the 15th of the month but your billing date is the 1st, you do not get a refund for the remaining days. Your membership straightforward ends on your next scheduled billing date.

Can I pause my Blink membership instead of canceling?

Blink does not offer a pause option. You can only cancel or keep your membership active. If you want to stop paying temporarily, cancel now and reactivate later when you need it again. There is no penalty for reactivating after a cancellation.
