cancelling Amazon Prime

I've just read that they're pulling unlimited cloud storage? I'm currently on a free trial, that seems to have run into a second free trial until the end of this month. I have a payment method stored, so was expecting it to become a chargeable service at £55. But it now looks like I'll be out of luck.

I'll end up back with Crashplan at this rate. ☹

The Prime unlimited photo storage isn't being pulled, it's the completely separate Amazon Drive $60 a year unlimited cloud storage deal that is going (you'll get 1TB instead). Nothing is changing for Prime customers though.

"It's important to note that the unlimited photo storage of Prime Photos are unaffected by these changes, and anyone signing up for Amazon Drive will also get 5GB for free."

That's (so far) only for US customers. UK unaffected iirc.

That's good to know. Although, I was surprised they were offering unlimited for £55. Seemed too good to be true. I'm sure the UK will follow, but as long as it's after the 29th June, when I pay my first years' subs, it'll give me time to consider my options.
