The Hidden Perks of Amazon Prime Membership

While most people are familiar with the free 2-day shipping that comes with an Amazon Prime membership, there are actually a host of other valuable benefits that many members are unaware of. Let's take a closer look at some of these lesser-known perks.

Prime Video

Included with your Prime membership is access to a vast library of movies and TV shows, including many Amazon Originals you won't find anywhere else. From award-winning series like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel to blockbuster movies, there's always something to watch.

Prime Music

Prime members get access to over 2 million songs ad-free with Prime Music. Create your own playlists or explore curated ones for any mood or activity. You can stream music on all your devices or download songs for offline listening.

Prime Reading

Bookworms will love Prime Reading, which gives you access to a rotating selection of over 1,000 books, magazines, comics, and more. Borrow up to 10 titles at a time to read on your Kindle or in the Kindle app on any device.

Prime Photos

Your Prime membership includes unlimited full-resolution photo storage in the Amazon Cloud. Securely back up and access your photos from anywhere, and share them with family and friends. You can also order photo prints and custom gifts.

Early Access & Exclusive Deals

Prime members often get 30-minute early access to Lightning Deals on Amazon. You'll also find exclusive discounts just for Prime members on select items throughout the year and during special Prime-only sales events.

These are just a few of the many benefits included with Amazon Prime at no extra cost. When you consider all the perks, that annual membership fee provides a lot more value than it may seem at first glance.
