Amazon Prime Plans

Amazon offers its standard Prime membership plan for $14.99/mo or $139/yr. Besides offering free shipping on most purchases, it also includes video streaming, free music and more — you can explore all the benefits at this page. But did you know there are other Amazon Prime Plans?

Prime Access

Amazon Prime is available for $6.99/mo if you have an EBT card or Medicaid card. They call this offering Prime Access; check out this page to see if you qualify. Prime Access offers the same exact benefits as a standard Prime membership.

Prime for Young Adults (formerly Prime Student)

If you’re 18-to-24 years old, or a college student, consider Amazon Prime for Young Adults for $7.49/mo or $69/yr. The benefits are pared down, but still considerable. Amazon will verify your age or student status as you enroll.

Prime Business

I’ve also noticed that Amazon offers a Prime product for business accounts. Check out their Business Prime page for details and price ranges.

Prime Shipping Only

There exists a flavor of Prime that only gets you a shipping benefit. Prime Shipping Only lacks the streaming options of standard Prime, but offers the same shopping perks. Curiously, it’s priced the same as a standard Prime membership, so I imagine Prime Shipping Only is the least popular of the Amazon Prime plans. But if you have a special need for this plan, reach out to Amazon Support and they will help you switch.

Prime Video Monthly

Possibly even more difficult to find and select is Prime Video Monthly. This subscription is for those who only want to stream videos through Amazon, with no shipping or other benefits. But I do see it out there, for $8.99/mo. If you need this plan, you may have to contact Amazon for help in selecting it.
