However, you can sign up for a free trial through Amazon Prime Video Channels. Amazon Prime Video Channels offers a variety of channels that you can add to your account to customize your viewing experience, and Curiosity Stream is one of these. They allow you to sign up for free trials for these channels, meaning you can trial Curiosity Stream through your Amazon account.

You can cancel your subscription at any time before the trial ends, and you will not be charged.

If you forget to cancel your free trial, the subscription will continue indefinitely until you cancel.

What to Know About Canceling Your Free CuriosityStream Trial

  • You can cancel at any time by going to your Video Subscriptions in your account.
  • It is important to know that once you have been charged, canceling will not refund the transaction for the current billing period.
  • If you cancel, you will have access to CuriosityStream through the end of the billing period.

How to Avoid Automatic Subscription Renewal With the DoNotPay Virtual Credit Card

Many companies offer free trials, but require a credit card upfront, because they know that many consumers will forget to cancel the trial and become a paying customer by default.

DoNotPay can help you avoid charges altogether with a virtual credit card. When you request a virtual credit card through DoNotPay, this is what will happen:

  1. We will generate a random number and credit card info that you can use just like a standard credit card.
  2. It will allow you to subscribe to a free trial of CuriosityStream or any other service.
  3. When the free trial expires, you cannot be charged because the Free Trial Card does not actually have any money on it, and you should be automatically unsubscribed.

If you've already signed up and need help canceling CuriosityStream, DoNotPay can help with that too.
