Are You Getting the Most Out of Your Amazon Prime Benefits?
Here are some more tips to help make sure you’re getting the maximum benefit from Amazon Prime and using your benefits in a way that’s suited best to what you need and enjoy.
There are many sections and pages on Amazon’s website that talk about Prime. When you find one you especially like, be sure to bookmark the page so you don’t forget about it! I save pages either in my Chrome browser or I bookmark them into Evernote for safekeeping.
Be sure to read as much as you can; you more than likely will discover at least a couple benefits you didn’t know you had!

Here are some of the main pages with useful information about Prime on Amazon.com:
Prime Insider
Prime Insider is a great place to start; it’s the “about” page for Prime. Prime Insider has a lot going on: benefit news; shopping tips; how-to guides; offers and deals that are exclusive for Prime members; the newest movies and TV shows on Prime Video; the most popular artists on Amazon Music for Prime members; and the current selection of free books and magazines available on Prime Reading, to name just a few.
Prime Video
Prime Video lets you watch Amazon Originals; titles that are included with Prime; premium channel subscriptions should you choose to try or add them; movies and shows to rent or buy; and more. To find out what is included with your Prime membership automatically, be sure you are logged in to your Amazon account when you go to Prime Video, and the titles with the Prime logo are the ones included with your Prime membership automatically.
You can also check under the Deals tab in Prime Video to find spotlight deals and special rental prices on titles for Prime members. The spotlight deal today, March 7 only, is for the Paramount+ channel:
Prime members can add Paramount+ and 100+ other channels for $0.99/month for 2 months, then $9.99/month after. Offer ends March 7.
Prime Music
Amazon Music Prime has a library of 2 million streaming music, stations, playlists and podcasts to listen to as a Prime member at no extra charge, with unlimited skips. To find music, log on to music.amazon.com or you can get the Amazon Music App. You can stream it to any Echo device you have or download it to play offline later. Finally, certain vehicles have Alex Auto which will allow you to listen in your car as well — for a list of cars see this page.
Prime Reading
In addition to having access to a rotating catalog of e-books and audiobooks, Prime members get one free Kindle book a month.
Prime Gaming
Prime members have access to exclusive content for favorite games and a rotating collection of free PC games along with a free subscription to a Twitch channel, every month.
Next up is Amazon Day Delivery, exclusive for Prime members, where you can shop during the week and make the selection to get all of your orders delivered on the same day in fewer boxes. You choose up to 2 of your preferred days to receive the items, and what you order through each week that you choose to use Amazon Day Delivery you’ll get the items on those preferred days.
Another benefit of being a Prime member is that you’ll get Unlimited Photo Storage and 5GB of video storage on Amazon. You can then order custom prints, personalized gifts and items such as photo albums, calendars, and other decorations, as well as use them to personalize your Amazon devices; Echo or Fire TV screensaver.
Did you know that another benefit is Amazon Pharmacy, where you can get savings on prescriptions filled at 60,000 pharmacies, or free two-day delivery? The savings benefit can’t be combined with insurance, but if your co-pay is higher you could use the benefit instead and save as much as 80% on the prescriptions. See this page to search for prescriptions or pharmacies and read more details.
There are always exclusive deals just for Prime members in categories including home, electronics and toys.
