Keep reading this article to know about all the added benefits of Amazon Prime.
Shipping Benefits
Free overnight shipping: Amazon understood the requirement for quick deliveries and started free two-day shipping. Which is great. Later, Amazon understood the requirement for urgent deliveries and upgraded to overnight shipping. Which is awesome! In case, you aren’t in a hurry, you can opt for a “no-rush delivery.” This might win you a small credit (usually $1) that you can use to make digital purchases, like e-books, movie rentals, and so on.
Free release-date delivery: If you have pre-ordered a hot new tech product, you will receive that item on the exact day of its release. Of course, this is limited to Prime subscribers and certain items.
Free two-hour delivery: Prime members can now receive their Whole Foods groceries and other items in just two hours at their doorsteps. This quick delivery will cost you nothing if your order sums up to $35 or above, and cost you $4.99 per delivery if the order is below the minimum limit.
Shopping Benefits
Free grocery and household item delivery: Prime Pantry includes items like, toilet paper, dog food, shampoo, cereal (basically anything that doesn’t require refrigeration). All of such Prime Pantry items can be shipped to you for free, given that your total is at least $35.
5% cashback with an Amazon Prime card: If you sign up for an Amazon Prime card, it will fetch you 5% cashback on nearly every Amazon purchase. This will help you score better deals and lower prices at Amazon.
Early access to Lightning deals: Amazon’s Lightning deals offer a huge selection of components, accessories, adapters, media drives & more from top brands. This Amazon deal runs for a limited time or till supplies last. But, if you are a Prime subscriber, you get the advantage to access those deals 30 minutes ahead of nonsubscribers.
Access to Amazon Elements: Elements is an exclusive store on Amazon that stocks most of the premium vitamins, protein powder, and other supplements, plus baby wipes. So, if you are a Prime subscriber, you have access to this store as well.
Streaming Benefits
Unlimited video streaming: Prime Video offers amazing movies, TV shows, and original content to stream on. You can watch Prime video on all the mobile devices and most of the smart TVs and game consoles. Prime content can also be downloaded for offline viewing, just like Netflix.
Limited music streaming: Amazon Prime Music has a library of over two million tracks that you can stream on without any ad break. Any song from the Prime library can be downloaded to your phone or tablet for offline listening.
Media Benefits
Unlimited photo storage: Subscription to Amazon Prime gives you unlimited cloud storage for photos and 5GB storage space for documents and videos. Also, there is a desktop app for Windows and Mac using which you can archive photos from your hard drive.
