Amazon Prime Perks You May Not Know About
Like most people you probably paid for an Amazon Prime membership so that you could get free 2 day shipping on most of your orders. There are so many more things that your membership includes that you might not even be aware of! You really may be missing out on so many perks just because you didn’t realize that these things were included in your Amazon Prime membership.
Books And Storage
Are you are reader? If so then you can save a lot of money on books and magazines. Prime Readings gives you access to thousands of free books and magazines. This can save you hundreds of dollars each year! Another perk included in your Prime membership has to do with your photos. You can get unlimited storage of them for you and five family members. It’s an easy way to upload your photos from your phone and clear out some space.
Freebies
There are a lot of freebies that come with a Prime membership as well. When you purchase an album or CD, you will get a free MP3 of the music. As far as orders go, if your shipment is late then you can get a credit or even a free month of Prime membership. If you don’t want to file a claim use Paribus as they will take care of the claim for you. Prime also offers “Sample Boxes” to their members. If you purchase the product you will get money back as well. Amazon hasn’t forgotten about college students as they offer them a 6 month membership for free. Also, those members that use Prime now can get free 2-hour delivery on pretty much everything.
Charities And Donations
If you are feeling charitable, then you can easily give back thanks to your Amazon Prime membership. For those that want to donate with a “Give Back Box”, they can reuse Amazon boxes to donate items and Amazon will also cover shipping. For those that want to make a monetary donation, they can donate to a charity through AmazonSmile.
Cashback
Amazon Prime can save you money not only on shipping, but on purchases and gift cards as well. Those who make purchases on the Amazon credit card can get 5% off of every single purchase.
