The Best Amazon Prime Benefits You Probably Didn’t Know About

Posted on by

If you’re going to sign up for Amazon Prime, you’ll want to squeeze as much out of the deal as you can. And there’s a lot to squeeze out of it. The price you pay for Amazon depends on a lot of factors , but no matter how much you pay, it’s worth it for most people (we did the math). If you’re still on the fence about signing up, Prime Day , Amazon’s biggest sale of the year, is just around the corner. It’s a great time to sell your soul — or take advantage of a 30-day free trial .

How much does Amazon Prime cost?

A standard Prime membership costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year, but there are other tiers that some people may qualify for. For example, Amazon’s new Prime Student program allows young adults ages 18 to 24 to get all the benefits of Prime for half the cost — $7.49 per month or $69 per year.

Amazon Prime Benefits

I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t know all the benefits Amazon Prime offers its members. There are a lot more benefits than people realize. Here are the most impressive ones (and here’s the full list ):

Fast and free shipping

  • Fast, free shipping on millions of items : Depending on where you live, shipping can take one or two days, and some items can even be delivered the same day — and it’s always free (when shipped by an Amazon store).

  • Pre-ordered items can be shipped on the day of release for free.

  • The ability to deliver items to your garage using a smart garage device (depending on where you live).

  • Earn rewards on future purchases by choosing free, no-hassle shipping.

  • Ability to have all your weekly orders delivered on a specific day to reduce box waste.

  • The ability to try on clothes or shoes before you buy them, meaning you have seven days before you are charged for items you decide to keep.

Deals, Savings & Sales

  • Subscribe and get a discount that will allow you to make repeat orders and save money.

  • Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Card : Cardholders earn 5% back on Amazon/Whole Foods purchases, so Prime members who actively use the card can earn rewards that offset the annual fee.

  • A free year of Grubhub+, normally $9.99 per month, which includes free delivery on eligible orders, reduced service fees, exclusive offers, and more perks.

  • Share with family or friends : The main benefits can be shared with other members of your family. The more users, the more value per person.

Medical assistance

  • Amazon Health : Prime members get access to One Medical for an extra $9 per month. You’ll get 24/7 access to on-demand virtual care through your devices, as well as real-world access to primary care offices in select U.S. cities. It also accepts most major health insurance plans.

  • Amazon Pharmacy: Access Free 2-Day Shipping and More Discounts on Medicines.
