I just did a week of prime for $2. Can't cancel without losing the rest of the week. But previously when I had it yearly, I was able to cancel as soon as I signed up without losing access.

I always found that they worded it like it would end the trial but on the final cancel button it would specify that you would still have it until the end date. No idea if they’ve changed that recently though.
