Since Amazon Prime is for readers, tv watchers and shoppers, I didn't know which category to put this in. I figured Viewpoints is the most popular so everyone might see it. If I should post this somewhere else also, please let me know. Hope this helps someone. I think it is for new Prime members only.

There is another thread about Amazon Prime and I posted this there also. Here is a way to get Prime for free if you know of someone else who has it. Quite a good deal.

To all those who mention Amazon prime, but do not have it - I found something very interesting last fall. One of my sons got Amazon Prime. He uses the free shipping, the Kindle, videos, etc. He emailed me a few days after he got it and asked if I would be interested in getting the free shipping aspect of Prime for free. OF COURSE, I said. I had always wanted it, but did not want to pay for it. He said he discovered that he could give the Free shipping (regular and FREE two day shipping) to 4 others since he was the main Prime member. He sent me 'an invitation' to join and I replied. I now have the free shipping (I used it SO much over Christmas). He thinks I will have my Free Shipping for as long as he pays for the main Prime service.

So, if you know someone who has Prime, have them check this out. It is a wonderful extra for everyone.

I found this to further explain the deal:

Amazon Prime's free 2-day shipping changes your buying life, enough so that you start feeling bad for your loved ones waiting out standard shipments. Until you poke around in your Amazon account settings and give up to four "household members" free Prime shipping.

It's not a secret, but it is not totally known about either. Head to Your Account then, once signed in go to - Manage Prime membership. There you'll see your Prime membership status, scroll down a bit and look for "Invite a household member."

You need to provide a name, email address, relation, and a birthday for each member. When they move to activate the Prime benefits, they'll need to know your own birthday. There's no real "household" requirement, though, and your friends or roommates can still fit, if they don't mind being your "brother/sister." Your Prime sharing only extends the free two-day shipping to relatives and friends, not the Prime video or Kindle book benefits, but nobody should be complaining when you grant them a much better online shopping experience.
