Questions & Answers

Question:
What are some of the things that will be deleted if I delete/close my account?
Answer:

Your Amazon account is shared across Amazon’s websites, so if you delete it, you’ll lose access to Amazon.com as well as international stores. Subscriptions like Amazon Prime will immediately end. Amazon will also delete your accounts purchase history and customer data. Meaning any reviews, discussion posts, and photos you’ve uploaded to Amazon’s website will also be erased.

Question:
Can I re-open a closed account?
Answer:

To reopen a closed account, contact customer support and send a new request to reopen your account.

Question:
