If you love great deals, fast shipping, and streaming movies and music, an Amazon Prime membership might be perfect for you.
From electronics, digital entertainment, to groceries, Prime is savings, convenience, and entertainment, all in a single membership. And the best part? Eligible customers can sign up for a 30-day free trial and experience the incredible benefits Prime offers without paying a penny upfront.
Prime aims to make your life more convenient, simple, and fun, every single day—so if you’re ready to try it out as we head into Black Friday and the holiday season, read on for instructions on how to get started with your trial membership.
How to sign up for a free Prime membership trial
Step 1: From your desktop or mobile browser, go to go to amazon.com/prime. Eligible customers will see a “Start your free 30-day trial” button.
Step 2: Click on the “Start your free 30-day trial” button to sign-in, or create your Amazon account. From there, choose the membership plan that suits you the best. Keep in mind that you are signing up for a free 30-day trial, so you won't have to pay anything for now.
Step 3: Select the payment method you’d like to use for your Prime membership, or add a new one. You can choose to cancel your membership at any time. If you cancel before your trial ends, you will not be charged.
Step 4: Once you've completed all the steps, you're now ready to enjoy your free 30-day Prime membership. You can learn more about lesser-known benefits you should be using, and benefits that make your Prime membership worth it. You'll have access to benefits like fast, free delivery on tens of millions of items, exclusive shopping deals and discounts, access to an extensive library of digital entertainment content with Prime Video, Amazon Music, Prime Reading, and Prime Gaming, and the ability to check out using Buy with Prime when shopping directly at participating brand’s online store.
Prime helps members get everything they want and need, quickly and reliably at one low monthly or annual cost. If, for one reason or another, you decide to cancel your membership, you can cancel at any time during the trial period. To cancel your membership, go to the "Manage Prime Membership" section in your account and click on "End Trial and Benefits."
