Amazon Prime Access Discount Program

I always feel that as a corporation, Amazon does so much more than others — definitely more than companies like Walmart, Target, Macy’s, etc. There’s so many ways that they try to make their services more affordable, like their Amazon Prime Access Program, which is a discount service for eligible customers who are on any qualifying government assistance program.

To get Prime Access, upload an image of your eligibility letter or card from one of the following:

• Medicaid: Upload image of your Medicaid eligibility letter
• SNAP: Enter your EBT number and upload an image of the EBT card
• SSI: Supplemental Security Income (this is different from Social Security and SSDI)
• Direct Express Prepaid Debit Card: Upload image of card
• TANF: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
• TTANF: Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
• NSLP: National School Lunch Program, (letter must include your child’s name and the school’s name)
• LIHEAP: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
• WIC: Women, Infants, and Children program
• NAP: Puerto Rico’s Nutrition Assistance Program card (Tarjeta de la Familia)

Does Prime Access offer a free trial? Yes. Before you begin paying $6.99/month for a monthly membership — if you’ve not qualified for a Prime membership in the last 12 months — you can sign up for a free 30-day trial. To sign up, your account must have a current, valid payment method. You can re-qualify for a free trial once every 12 months.

Can I share my Prime benefits with other household members? Yes. Prime Access members can share certain benefits with other adults in their Amazon Household. Click here to learn more.

When will I be billed for my membership? Once you’ve uploaded and verified your eligibility for Prime Access, you’ll enter your payment details. Then, you’ll begin your 30-day free trial. Once your free trial ends, we’ll automatically charge the $6.99/month for the next membership period using the payment method you provided.

If I’m not satisfied, can I cancel anytime? Will I be refunded? Yes. You can cancel your Prime Access membership at any time by visiting your account and updating your membership preferences. Paid members who haven’t used their benefits may be eligible for a full refund for the current membership period.
