I've just signed up for a 30 day trial of Amazon Prime with a view to keeping it for the Amazon Photos if I can work out how it works.

 

Any Amazon Prime guru's out there care to explain to me what other great features come with Amazon Prime?

 

I've also got two daughters still living at home - are there benefits for me being a member for them too?

Free next day delivery from Amazon

Prime movies

Prime music - 2 million songs

Free games from Twitch Prime https://www.twitch.tv/prime

 

If you click on your prime on the right hand side of the Amazon page at the bottom are all the benefits.(see below)

Watch out for the auto-renewal at the end of your trial. It used to automatically take for one year of Prime(£79) - not sure if it still does (I pay monthly (£7.99))

Try working out what you spent on postage on Amazon purchases over the past 12 months then offset that to the cost of Prime membership.

In my case (especially after Black Friday (week)) it more than pays for itself, AND you get the movies, music and storage on top of that!

You hope its next day delivery...... Its not always next day delivery even when they state it is.

 

That is when you complain and get a free month. I cant fault Amazon customer support. I have found them to be awesome.

Yes yes yes ;)

 

But what are the actual really useful benefits...

 

Can my daughters set up their own Amazon accounts and link in to the benefits I have rather than using my logon?

 

 

Yes, you can get Amazon Family, i've set it up so my parents get it

yes they can, as special child accounts. You can link one adult account as well (for Prime Video) You can sign up for 3 months Audible as well. (so 3 audio books for free)

Yep, I've got many free months.

 

Still doesn't change that its not always as advertised.

 

+1 for Amazon support.

I took out a months free trial last Christmas, just for the free delivery... that it is also so quick was a bonus. Plus if you buy from Amazon direct you have their backing.

Has the amazon household stuff changed then or are child accounts different.

The biggest thing I don’t like about household is you have to share your payment methods with each other. Not that I don’t trust them, it just cuts down on human error. Amazon is always pushing the buy it now button and such.

Currently if my parents need something in a rush I log into my amazon for them. They have now added their card to my account. The last time they bought something the payment screen didn’t show up the same way. It was billed to my card, we were able to change it right away though.

If I could share my prime with them without sharing payment info, that would be great.

If your school has amazon for business, you can share the shipping benefits with your work account.

Also prime reading.

A lot of things I order are free Same Day delivery from Amazon Prime.

I got mine initially for the TV to watch top gear and forgot to cancel the free subscription, now make most of my purchases on there with the delivery options that are available far suite me.

 

Literally just ordered £80's worth off there in the sale.

If you're lucky enough to be in an area that does Prime now, you can get a delivery with 2 hours same day on certain products depedning on availability.

Ideal for those new games that have just come out and peer pressured into buying by the other lads/lady's in the office.

NB watch out for the default £2 tip. It can be taken off! There is a minimum spend too. Think its £20.
