Five Little Known Perks of Amazon Prime
By now, everyone knows that for a little over $100 per year, we can all get socks, cleaning products, electronics, and millions of other household goods and business items delivered to our door in as little as a few hours. For someone who likes to go into stores and touch, see, and test before they buy, Prime may seem to be nothing special. But, receiving batteries in the mail within a few hours of ordering is not the only perk. Here are others that may make the membership worthwhile for those who are not sold on the shipping.
Free Membership.
If you share everything with your bestie, kids, spouse, or co-workers, then give the gift of Amazon Prime. Each Amazon Prime membership is good for two adults. To give another person access, simply go to the Accounts & Lists section once logged in to your Amazon Prime account. From there, click Households then Manage Your Household. Once connected, the second person shares in the shipping and digital benefits of Amazon Prime as well as discounts and exclusive offers.
Free Cloud Storage.
Each of us now walk around with phones with high quality cameras and snap thousands of photos per year. While cloud storage is relatively cheap, it is not necessarily free. But, with Amazon Photos, Prime members get unlimited cloud photo storage, custom print options, and the ability to share phots with friends and family.
Free Music.
For those with a wide taste in music, buying all of your favorite artist’s music can be expensive. Save money by taking advantage of free access to Amazon Music which comes with all Amazon Prime memberships. Amazon Music features more than 2 million songs, including thousands of stations and top playlists, all for free to Amazon Prime members. Amazon Music can be accessed through the Amazon Music App, Amazon echo devises, FireTV, Fire Tablets, and many other Alexa-enabled devices.
Free TV.
Through Amazon Prime’s video streaming service, Amazon Prime members have access to thousands of movies, tv shows, and documentaries at no extra cost. Free content includes movies and tv shows across every category and time period and also includes Amazon Prime original programing. Amazon Prime video can be accessed through the Amazon Prime App, smart tv, streaming media players, game consoles, phones and tablets.
Free EBooks and Magazines.
For book lovers, Prime Reading offers Amazon Prime members access to over 1,000 books and magazones for free. Some books are even available with Audible narration, which allows you to listen while driving, cooking, gardening, or commuting. Prime members can access Prime Reading by logging on to their Prime account using a Kindle E-reader, or Fire Tablet or the Kindle app on an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet or on a desktop.
