Students can get a six-month free trial before they have to start paying for their Prime membership. Multiple members of a family can also share Prime benefits like Prime shipping, video, photos and more through Amazon Household , which allows for up to 10 memberships:.
Other free delivery perks include Amazon Day , which allows you to order items throughout the week and select up to two days to get everything delivered in fewer boxes. You can monitor the delivery through the Key by Amazon app , and get notifications about packages while the delivery is in process.

At the time, Bourlier said, this seemed like a pipe dream, and it has remained a substantial factor in motivating people to become Prime members. But over the years, Amazon has greatly expanded what members get when they join, like entertainment, fashion, savings and other perks.
In a letter to Amazon shareholders in April , CEO Jeff Bezos who is stepping down later this year said there are more than million Prime members worldwide. In January , a little over a year ago, Amazon had more than million Prime members globally, according to marketing research company Digital Commerce Thomsom partially attributes the approximate percent increase in members to the pandemic.
