Discounted prescriptions with Amazon Pharmacy
Prime benefits

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 now save $0.10 per gallon at approximately 7,000 bp, Amoco, and ampm locations across the U.S., offering nearly $70 of savings per year.

Prime Day is one of the biggest sales events of the year, boasting millions of discounted items in categories across the entire site during the two-day event.
