(NAPSI)—Amazon Prime members save money and time through access to low prices, premium videos and music, as well as convenient delivery options. And now, Amazon has designed a discounted monthly Prime membership option for customers participating in a growing list of government assistance programs.

How it Works

Prime is already an incredible value at $99/year or $10.99/month, and the discounted monthly offer makes Amazon’s everyday selection and savings more accessible, including the many conveniences and entertainment benefits of Prime. People using government assistance can now get the benefits of Prime for $5.99 per month for one year, with the ability to cancel anytime.

What’s in it for Everyone

Tens of millions of members around the world already enjoy the many benefits of Prime. In addition to unlimited fast, free shipping options on more than 50 million items, Prime members receive unlimited access to the following benefits at no additional cost:

  • Prime Video: Unlimited access to tens of thousands of movies and TV shows
  • Prime Music: More than 2 million songs and thousands of playlists and stations
  • Prime Photos: Unlimited photo storage to preserve family memories
  • Prime Reading: A rotating selection of free e-books and magazines
  • Audible Channels for Prime: Premium original podcasts, audio series and audiobooks exclusively from Audible
  • Kindle First: A free prerelease e-book each month

Learn More and Get Started

To start, customers will need to qualify with a valid Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. An EBT card is commonly used to disburse funds for several government assistance programs including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Women, Infants, and Children Nutrition Program (WIC). Customers can qualify every 12 months, up to four times. Amazon will add other ways to qualify in the future for customers participating in government assistance programs that do not utilize EBT. There is no annual commitment and members can cancel anytime. Customers can learn more or sign up for a 30-day free trial at www.amazon.com/qualify.
