In an effort to make Prime more accessible, Amazon is giving a discount to people who receive food stamps and similar government benefits: $5.99 per month will be all they have to pay for the membership. The regular price for Prime is $99 per year, or $10.99 a month for those who don’t want to pay up front. I was not aware that free shipping and unlimited streaming of movies and TV shows were required to survive. Thanks to cageymaru for this one.
Online leader Amazon is offering a discount on its Prime membership for people who receive government assistance. Amazon says customers who get benefits such as through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps, can pay $5.99 per month for membership, which would include free shipping and unlimited streaming of movies and TV shows with Prime Video. The regular annual membership is $99 per year. But those who cannot afford to pay up front have to pay $10.99 a month for the same benefits.
