What is Amazon Prime?
Amazon Prime is an annual membership program that offers:
- Unlimited Free Two-Day Shipping on more than 20 million items across all categories (no $35 minimum)
- Free Same-Day Delivery on more than a million items in 14 metro areas
- Unlimited streaming of tens of thousands of movies and TV episodes, more than one million songs, more than one thousand playlists and hundreds of stations with Prime Music
- Early access to select Lightning Deals all year long
- Free secure, unlimited photo storage in Amazon Cloud Drive with Prime Photos
- Exclusive Deals for Prime Members Only
- Exclusive Savings like additional discounts on diapers as an automatic member of Amazon Mom
There is an additional benefit for no rush shipping!
- Don’t need it in two days? There’s a bonus for that. You still get free shipping, but you get a credit on your account towards select item purchases in the future.
- Credits can be used for buying eBooks on your wishlist, favorite movies on Amazon Instant Video, groceries and daily essentials on Prime Pantry and just about anything else we indicate in the offer at checkout.
- Credits are automatically added to your Amazon.com account once your FREE No-Rush order ships, and they are automatically applied to qualifying orders as well.
- You can check your no-rush credit balance HERE.
Is Amazon Prime worth it?
B2B thinks so! But, don’t just take our word for it:
Jan asked just that question in the Bargains to Bounty Facebook Group and received many responses. Readers overwhelmingly responded positively with comments like these:
I get way more back in what I would pay for shipping elsewhere than what I have paid for Amazon Prime. 🙂 I get spoiled by the quick shipping! ~ Kathleen
We get our money’s worth from it. In addition to the free and fast shipping, we get video and music streaming. We don’t have cable and stopped our Netflix. We just use the Amazon Prime streaming and so that really adds to Prime being worth our money overall. ~ Caite
It’s totally worth it. The shipping alone is worth it. We had a problem with a shipment not arriving when it should and they extended my membership by a month. We use the video service quite a bit too. I use Amazon Music on a daily basis. It’s all included. ~Laura
Are there Amazon Prime Membership Deals?
The best part is you can get a 30 day free trial and if you don’t like or don’t use it enough you can cancel. ~Brandy
We pay monthly. ~Jenny
They offer a student yearly membership for half the price. Your student signs up with their school email. We got it last year for $49! ~Wendy
Consider sharing your Prime membership, if it applies:
Select Prime benefits (including free 2-day shipping) can be shared between 2 adults in a household. You can also share Prime shipping benefits with your Amazon Business user account if you have a paid Prime membership under your personal account. Customers who are Amazon Student Prime members (free trial or paid) or invited guests of other Prime members can’t share their benefits. However, other types of Prime members can share select benefits with those types of members.
What is Amazon Prime? It’s a lot of great access rolled up in one package!
