Eligible customers in the U.S. who sign up for Prime Access enjoy all the benefits of a regular Prime membership at 50% of the cost. Benefits like fast, free delivery, exclusive deals and discounts, extensive streaming choices with Prime Video, discounts on groceries and everyday essentials, prescription savings, and more – are all included with membership.

Amazon Access offers savings, flexible payment options, and more
Amazon launched a grassroots program to listen and learn from customers in communities across the country. In fact, this customer feedback is central to the design of our products and services. We found that many of our customers are looking for ways to save money and time, now more than ever. We know that online shopping is a big part of how they save, and that’s why we’ve created Amazon Access, a hub to make shopping easier for all customers.

The Amazon Access hub gives customers the opportunity to learn more about all of the programs, discounts, and features available to them, including:
- Pay with SNAP EBT on Amazon: Since becoming one of the first retailers to launch SNAP online purchasing, Amazon has expanded payment with SNAP EBT to be available to those eligible nationwide. So no matter where you are in the U.S., you can shop for groceries from Amazon.com, and from Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market where available.
- Pay with Cash EBT on Amazon: Cash EBT is now accepted as a payment option on Amazon.com in 21 states. Customers can now use their Cash EBT benefits to purchase almost anything on Amazon.com, across categories like electronics, toys, beauty and personal care, and home and kitchen.
- Access Discounts: Qualified customers can save 15 to 20% on select groceries and everyday essentials with the Access Discounts program.
- Prime Access: Qualifying government assistance recipients and income-verified customers in the U.S. can enjoy all the benefits of a regular Prime membership at 50% of the cost.
- Discounted Grocery Delivery Subscription: Customers with a registered EBT card—with or without Prime Access—can also experience the same grocery subscription as Prime members but at a discount of just $4.99 per month. This subscription—which pays for itself after just one delivery order per month—offers unlimited grocery delivery on orders over $35 across Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market, and even more convenient delivery and pickup options.
