9 Prime membership benefits you might not be using (but should be)

Amazon’s Prime Try Before You Buy is a Prime-exclusive program where you can try on new styles and sizes before you buy them, including clothing, shoes, and accessories. You have seven days to try the items at home or return them at no cost, and we'll only charge for the items you keep.

Prime members can enjoy the benefits of fast, free delivery, a trusted checkout experience, and easy returns with brands that offer Buy with Prime. Thanks to the Prime benefit of Buy with Prime, you can shop directly from the brands’ websites—such as beauty brands like bareMinerals and BUXOM Cosmetics, lifestyle brands like HEYDUDE and Happy Dad, and food and beverage brands like Carbone Fine Food and Truff.

Another great benefit of Prime membership is access to unlimited photo storage with Amazon Photos. Prime members get unlimited full-resolution photo storage as well as 5 GB of video storage. You can share full resolution photos with family and friends, and use your photos to personalize devices like your Fire TV, Amazon Echo Show, and Amazon Fire tablet.

Whether you have a Kindle or you prefer to read books through the free Kindle app on another device, Prime Reading gives members access to a rotating collection of over three thousand digital books, audiobooks, magazines, comics, and more. Read best seller "Crave" by Tracy Wolff, Laura Nowlin’s #BookTok sensation "If He Had Been With Me," or whiz through an Amazon Original Stories short by Margaret Atwood, "My Evil Mother."

Prime Reading isn’t the only benefit for book lovers. Amazon First Reads gives members early access to download a newly released book for free every month from a curated selection of editor’s picks. See this month’s picks.

Gamers will appreciate the fact that Prime members get access to free games and in-game content at Prime Gaming every month—not to mention a free monthly channel subscription on Twitch.tv. Prime members in the U.S., Canada, Germany, and the UK can also play a rotating selection of free games each month on Luna, Amazon’s cloud gaming service.

Have a house full of people who all love Prime? Amazon allows a family to share a single Prime membership among two adults, four teens, and four kids under 13. Using the Amazon Household benefit, everyone can use the benefits of Prime (like Prime Video, Prime Gaming, and Prime Reading, for example) and the adults and teens can also use Prime to shop and make purchases.

Prime members can take advantage of Amazon Music where you can stream tunes and podcasts to your phone, Echo, or other smart device. That’s ad-free access to more than 100 million songs, thousands of playlists, and popular podcasts without a separate music or podcast subscription.

Prime members enjoy $0 delivery fees on eligible orders, lower service fees, 5% credit back on pick-up orders, and exclusive Grubhub offers with Grubhub+ as a part of their membership—a $120 annual value. You can devour this offer at hundreds of thousands of restaurants in all 50 states with Grubhub directly on Amazon.com and in the Amazon Shopping app.
