How to cancel VMP (Current as of 2/25/15)

Thumperchick posted some pics said Wed, Feb 25th 2015 at 12:24pm ET

Hey! You got VMP, smart cookie! But now your cookie has crumbled and you don't want to pay $5/month for shipping anymore. Here's how to cancel your VMP, courtesy of @JonT:
Steps to cancel VMP:
1)

2)

3) Cry because you no longer get cool free stuff

VMP REFUNDS: If you pay for VMP and at the end of the month find that you want to cancel AND you have not used any of the benefits (shipping, etc.) - you will automatically receive a refund of your VMP fee for that month. The refund will take several days to appear on your account. You do not have to contact anyone, as your refund is an automatic service that applies if you qualify. (Free/bonus VMP items from meh/mediocre do not count towards "use" of VMP.)

- @TheCO2 No. :P The only reason Amazon is connected is because it was one of the only options when I signed up.

4) Sign up for VMP tomorrow because that thing you really want is for sale tomorrow.

Why would anyone ever want to cancel VMP? It's like being a sustaining member of NPR, but much more rewarding. I'll take mediocre socks over a mediocre tote bag any day.

i'm thinking, from this point on, if anyone posts a thread topic with the word 'VMP' in it, a small window should pop up showing this thread and the words "do you really want to fucking post this question again??".

- @carl669 Then, when they inevitably click "yes, yes I do want to post this again," force a redirect here anyway?

I made a mistake. Please help me fix it. Thanks! :-)

1. I disconnected my Amazon account, and the VMP button disappeared.

2. I reconnected my Amazon account, but the VMP button did not return.

3. Did I cancel my VMP? Am I still VMP?

- @mediocrelab You're not a VMP anymore- no icon. The refund will show up in your account sometime soon.

sohmageek said Thu, Sep 10th 2015 at 10:01am ET:

I thought the correct answer was say something to @THumperChick, She has the internal hook-up to resolve it. IF not complain loudly in a new topic and blame the goat currently, @Sohmageek.

Oh... wait... that's not right... Maybe checking the FAQ, or contact support?

Yeah, I see nothing underneath the "Hey, you're a..." line. I couldn't find anything in the FAQ so I'm going to just contact support.

- @rofer I wonder if it's a browser rendering issue? Have you tried changing the zoom level to 100% or lower? Also try another browser if that still doesn't work.

Apparently the issue was my card was marked invalid (billing address changed). So I'm not actually a member, but my profile claims I am.

Two things I don't understand. Why people watch Fox News and why people make it so hard to cancel the VMP
