5 awesome benefits that make your Prime membership worth it

Prime members save on everything from groceries to fuel to prescriptions.

Amazon has several ways for Prime members to save money on medicine. For example, Prime members can routinely save up to 80% on prescriptions at more than 60,000 pharmacies, including with Amazon Pharmacy, when paying without insurance. Amazon Pharmacy also offers upfront pricing with Prime and insurance directly on the Amazon site, making it easy to shop for your medications.

Prime members with one or more recurring prescriptions may want to subscribe to RxPass. This Amazon Pharmacy add-on program allows members to get all their eligible generic medications for one low price of $5 per month, plus fast, free delivery to their door.

Prime members also enjoy exclusive discounts when shopping at Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market, both online and in-store. Prime members who shop at Amazon Fresh can score great savings on over 3,000 grocery items across the aisles, including 10% off on Amazon private label brands and up to 50% off on eight to 15 grocery favorites such as fresh produce and protein as well as pantry staples that rotate each week. At Whole Foods Market, Prime members receive deep discounts on a rotating selection and save an extra 10% off hundreds of sale items.

Another way to save: Lightning deals. Every day, there are thousands of deals on a rotating set of products on Amazon. Amazon is known for its fun Lightning deals, and Prime members get exclusive early access to Lightning deals 30 minutes before anyone else so they don’t miss out!

Prime members also save big during events like Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days.

If entertainment at your fingertips is what you’re looking for, Prime offers a vast collection of popular content to browse and stream via Prime Video. Prime members can stream Amazon MGM Studios-produced titles, live sports, and licensed fan favorites at no additional cost to their membership. Plus, get access to 100 million songs and top podcasts with Amazon Music and free games each month with Prime Gaming.

Prime helps you at many other retailers as well. If you make a purchase on a site that isn’t Amazon, you can look for Buy With Prime at checkout. If the site participates, you can get Prime benefits like fast, free shipping and easy return policies.

Fast, free delivery is the cornerstone benefit of Prime. Whether you need something today, tomorrow, or at a time of your choosing, members enjoy the convenience and speed of Prime delivery.

In the U.S., Amazon offers more than 300 million items with free Prime shipping compared to one million when the program launched in 2005. Tens of millions of our most popular items are available with free Same-Day or One-Day Delivery, which means Prime today offers 20 times more selection that can be delivered twice as fast as when Prime first launched—giving members more value than ever. We hit our fastest Prime delivery speeds ever so far this year, with more than 5 billion items arriving on the same or next day globally—a new record.

Every Prime membership comes with free Grubhub+, a $120 value per year—as part of their Prime membership with perks like $0 delivery fees on eligible Grubhub orders, lower service fees, 5% credit back on pick-up orders, and other exclusive offers.

In the U.S., anyone can join Prime for $14.99 per month, or $139 per year if you pay annually. Amazon also offers additional, discounted membership options providing the exact same, valuable benefits of a regular Prime membership—including free delivery on more than 300 million items, exclusive deals, and savings for eligible members—at only 50% of the cost.

Young adults (ages 18-24) and higher education students can try a discounted Prime membership with a six-month trial, then pay a discounted rate of $7.49 per month, or $69 per year. Qualifying government assistance recipients and income-verified customers can get Prime Access for $6.99 per month at amazon.com/getprimeaccess.
