Not sure if they do this, but: I signed up for prime for free, forgot to cancel, and got billed. I cancelled when I saw the charge, and then instead keeping my subscription for 1 year (or month, I don't remember), Amazon actually refunded me. Yeah they had a bunch of dark patterns, but that refund was a pleasant surprise. Hope they still do that.

The pessimist in me suspects they only do this to minimise the number of people who go on to complain to regulators and minimise the amount of legislative scrutiny they have to face.
