Besides free and quick shipping, what are the benefits of an Amazon Prime membership?  Looking at the site shows so much to read that just goes on and on.  I'm seriously thinking of joining, but I don't know if the cost outweighs the benefits. 

 

I don't order that much, but do enjoy watching commercial free TV and also read on my Kindle.  Is their Prime video and Kindle books free.  Their info pages leave much to be desired.   

 

Can anyone stear me in the right direction.

We've had Prime for a very long time now.  The reason why we have it is mainly for their free shipping and fast arrival times.

 

Their Amazon Prime Videos are also free.  I put the movies/shows/series I like in my "Watchlist" and I usually play them on my Alexa while I'm cooking or if I'm going to be in the kitchen for a while. 

 

Definitely worth it, in my opinion!

Love Amazon Prime...would not be without....expedited shipping free.  Extra perk...we just discovered free Prime TV and are binge watching Vikings from Episode 1!

@coffee drinker No more running to town and looking and looking for what we need because we can most often have it at the door the next day.

 

It is too difficult to search around for many products--like the right light bulb or any other little thing you need.  Plus a zillion things you didn't know about unless you saw it on Prime.  Great way to shop! Great way to cut down on hassles.

I dont have Prime. I find much better prices eleswhere than on Amazon for the most part, and if i want free shipping I just am sure to spend $25, works just fine for me.

I have Prime and I like it, but Amazon's prices are no longer competitive. I usually find better prices at Walmart or Target online.

Re: Benefits of Prime

[ Edited ]

Amazon has a pharmacy now and there is a link from their product page to look up any medication for their price and this price does not take into consideration any insurance at that point; however once you enroll in the program and give them your insurance information a new price will show for each med.  They take all insurance.

@coffee drinker , Why not try the free 30 day trial for prime ?  I myself use Prime video a lot, and I love the fast shipping time. There is almost nothing you can't find on Amazon and the ability to get it quickly has saved me many a time. There are discounts and often free books for my Kindle, and I just wouldn't be without it.
