Prime benefits

Here are the perks and benefits you get with Prime.

Amazon Prime is much more than its fast, free shipping and access to exclusive deals and discounts during events like Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days. Those benefits barely scratch the surface of all that comes with a Prime membership. Prime is savings, convenience, and entertainment, all in a single membership, offering a variety of benefits and perks for members.
