As they say, all good things in life are available for free. And today we are going to tell a few ways you can get the Amazon Prime subscription for free. Sounds interesting, right?
I am sure that everyone knows what Amazon Prime is and what it provides, but did you know that it was launched in 2005? It is amazing to see that in such a short time it has reached so many people and has become something we all want. Currently, it has about 200 million active users in over 190 counties.
Amazon Prime raised the cost of membership in February, with monthly subscriptions now costing $14.99 and yearly ones costing $139. The online retailer last raised the cost of memberships in 2018, when a yearly subscription went from $99 to $119.
Enough talks about what it is, and let’s find out how you can get a subscription to Amazon Prime for free.
To make it easy, let’s break them down into points, 7 to be exact so you can choose the one that suits you the best.
Get a Free Trial for 30 days
If you are a first-time user or did not have the Amazon Prime Subscription for the past 12 months, you can get it for free for a month as part of the Free trial which Amazon offers. It would require you to enter your Card details though. If you do not wish to continue using it after the 30-day trial, make sure to end the subscription before the 30 days gets over; otherwise, the card on the file would get charged for it.
Remember that you cannot register for your trial using a checking account or prepaid credit card: A credit card is required for your Amazon account.
However, at least in accordance with a 2018 Vice report, you can use various email accounts to obtain many free trials. Once more, keep in mind to finish every trial before it expires to prevent getting billed for a membership.
Offer for Students:
Sprint is offering a free six-month trial Prime membership to students. Students get 50% discounts for their Prime membership after the six-month trial period. For four years or until they graduate, whichever comes first, they can get the $7.49 monthly rate.
Amazon Credit Card Rewards
Using your collected cash back from a cash-back credit card to pay for Prime membership will make it appear as though you are receiving Prime for free.
If you apply for the Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature card, you will receive 1% or 2% cash back everywhere else and 5% cash back on purchases made at Whole Foods Market and Amazon. A one-year membership can be purchased for the price of $140 in cash back if your annual spending totals $2,800 at a 5% rate.
Free Amazon Prime Subscription offered by Cell phone providers
Want to change cellular providers? Amazon Prime is a benefit offered by several telecom operators when choosing certain plans.
Customers of Metro by T-Mobile, for instance, receive free Amazon Prime with certain plans.
Reward points from other Credit Cards
American Express, Capital One, and Discover are just a few of the credit card companies that now permit cardholders to utilise reward points for Amazon purchases.
Additionally, from October 1 through December 31, members of the Discover it Cash Back and Discover it Student Cash Back cards can receive 5 percent cash back on up to $1,500 in Amazon purchases.
Cardholders may be able to utilise their rewards points to pay for their Prime membership depending on how many points they earn and spend on Amazon purchases.
Using the Amazon Gift Card
Amass Amazon gift cards to pay for your Prime subscription. Some cash-back shopping and survey websites, such as Swagbucks, let users earn free Amazon gift cards.
Used electronics, video games, and other items are paid for through the Amazon Trade-In program in the form of Amazon gift cards.
Amazon Household
You can ask a member of your family who has an Amazon Prime subscription to share it with you via a feature called Amazon Household.
Although you each maintain a separate Amazon account, the two accounts are linked so that you can receive a few Prime features. Below is the list of features that are part of it:
- Audible Channels

- First reads
- Many other discounts and exclusives to go with.
Remember that sharing payment methods is required to use the Amazon Household feature.
