Benefits of Amazon Prime



Prime Day 2022 is right around the corner! If you've been considering joining Amazon Prime, now is the time to do it. It's a membership program that offers a lot of extras for an annual fee of $119. It can seem like an expensive proposition compared to other services, but there are plenty of benefits that make signing up worth it – especially if you're a frequent Amazon shopper. If you're on the fence about whether to pay the annual fee and join Prime, here are some reasons why we think it's worth your while:

Free Two Day Shipping

As a Prime member, you get free two-day shipping on millions of items. And if you're not in a rush, select items qualify for free one-day delivery—even on the weekends.

Free Video Streaming

Free Music Streaming

Although you may be an avid listener of music on Spotify or Apple Music, Amazon's free music streaming service can still come in handy. If you're interested in listening to your favorite songs on demand without paying extra for them, then Prime Music is probably worth a try.

The service boasts over 2 million songs and has tens of thousands available for streaming immediately after purchase. It also comes with ad-free listening and unlimited skips within those tracks—a feature that makes it stand out from other services like Apple Music or Spotify Premium. You can further enhance your music listening experience by upgrading to Amazon Music unlimited for an additional $8.99.month, which gives you access to 90 million songs! 

Free Photo Storage

Amazon Prime members can use the Amazon Prime Photos service to store an unlimited amount of photos. You don't have to worry about space or counting your pictures. The service will keep all your images safe, secure, and easy to access from anywhere.

Free Books, Magazines and Audible

You can borrow books for free from the Amazon Kindle Store and via Audible.

Try a free 7 day Audible Plus subscription! For $7.95/month you can listen all you want to thousands of included titles in the Plus Catalog. 

For an extra $9.99/month, you can join kindle unlimited which gives you unlimited reading and listening on any device. Prime will provide you with one free e-book at the start of each month, but your selection is limited to what is offered and usually is a selection of between 5 books. That is enough for me, but if you are an avid reader, a kindle unlimited or audible subscription is going to compliment your overall prime benefits! 

Special Discounts, Offers and Savings

You can also save money on popular items like food, clothing, toys and home goods. Amazon Prime features exclusive coupons and deals that you won’t find anywhere else.

  • Free 2-Day Shipping: With this benefit you get unlimited free two-day shipping on most eligible items with no minimum purchase required.

  • Free Return Shipping: If you don't like something you bought from Amazon or it doesn't fit properly (and it wasn't a gift card), return shipping is free for most orders. Ordering products that are not sold by Amazon may require an additional fee if they are returned to the retailer instead of being sent back to Amazon's warehouse first. It's important to remember that if it has been more than 30 days since they received their package then they might not be eligible anymore either! This policy varies by product category so check out our Returns Center page before clicking "Return".

By paying $119 a year you get free shipping, music, photos, videos and more.

Free two-day shipping is the most obvious benefit of being an Amazon Prime member. If you have a Prime membership and order something on Amazon, it will be shipped to your door in as little as two days. For those who are impatient like me, this is a major perk.

Amazon Prime members also receive free access to music, videos and photos stored in Amazon Cloud Drive at no extra cost. These services do come with limits: for example, only 5GB of storage is free for photos; after that you can pay extra or limit yourself to lower quality images if you want more space on your account (the same goes for video). However, this feature alone may be worth it if you use these features frequently enough—for example, I don't think I've ever bought music outright since getting my first iPod back when they were still called "iPods" instead of just "iPads."

So what are you waiting for?!

These are just some of the benefits that come with a Prime membership. If you are looking to save money, and get more out of your Amazon shopping experience then this is an excellent option. The best part is you can try it out for free with a 30 day trial!

Target offers Back to School Teacher Discount in July

Target announced they plan to revive a sale from 2018 that offers teachers a weeklong 15% discount on select items. The sale starts July 13th and will include school supplies and other essentials for classrooms, like disinfecting wipes and tissues (I can't imagine how many teachers go through!), but some new items are going to be included this year. Target announced that Pillowfort furniture and Bullseye's Playground items are going to be included, but I think the biggest benefit is that men and women's clothing is also going to be included, plus shoes! I think that is totally awesome that this expanded selection is included and Target has a lot of professional clothing to pick from. Electronics, backpacks and lunch boxes are excluded at this time, but I'm sure there will be back to school sales available to all later in the summer where you can snag these items for a discount. As mentioned this sale is for teachers and geared towards K-12, but any teach...
