Federal regulators accused the tech giant of creating a purposefully confusing cancellation process for its Prime program in order to keep subscribers from walking away

Fall Amazon Prime Day 2025 — officially known as Prime Big Deal Days — will return to Canada on October 7 at 12 a.m. PST and run until October 10 at 11:59 p.m. PST. Leading up to the four-day sale, Canadians can shop Amazon's early Prime Day deals — these are some of the best ones.

Amazon is ending a program that let Prime members share free shipping benefits with people outside their household. Instead, Amazon is encouraging users who don't live with the account holder to pay for their own Prime subscription, offering them a one-year subscription for $14.99.

From Oct. 1, 2025, Amazon Prime members will no longer be allowed to share free shipping with someone unless they live at the same address.

With affordability top of mind for Canadians, DoorDash says it is making it even easier to save. DashPass subscribers can now unlock more value through three updates: an extended partnership with Amazon, the launch of Family Sharing, and the debut of DashPass Deal Drops.

Starting Oct. 1, Amazon will change its program that allows Prime members to share free shipping benefits with people outside their household.

Amazon Prime members will soon only be able to share shipping perks with people who live under the same roof as them. Starting in October, those privileges can no longer be shared with anyone outside of a Prime member’s household.
