Streaming and Digital Benefits

Prime membership comes with a wide range of streaming and digital benefits that cater to a variety of interests, making it a worthwhile investment for individuals and families alike.

Firstly, Prime Video, a key feature of Amazon Prime, offers members the opportunity to watch exclusive Amazon Originals along with thousands of popular movies and TV shows. This service comes at no extra cost to Prime members and is accessible on virtually any device, making it perfect for entertainment at home or on the move.

In addition to Prime Video, Amazon Prime also offers Prime Video Channels. This feature allows members to enjoy their favorite shows and movies from a variety of channels including discovery+, Paramount+, EPIX, NBA League Pass, and STARZ. The best part? No cable is required, and members can cancel anytime. Furthermore, there’s no need to download additional apps, and the cost ranges from $4.99 to $14.99 per month for Prime members.

Music lovers are not left out either. Amazon Prime offers two music services: Amazon Music for Prime members and Amazon Music Unlimited. The former allows members to shuffle play all the music and listen to a vast catalog of top podcasts without ads. The latter, on the other hand, provides access to 100 million songs on-demand, the most ad-free top podcasts, and the ability to listen offline and in HD audio. This service starts at $8.99 per month with Prime.

Prime Gaming is another exciting benefit for the gaming community. It offers free games to keep, in-game content for favorite games across all available devices, and a Twitch channel subscription — all free each month.

Amazon Prime also caters to photography enthusiasts and families with Amazon Photos and Amazon Kids+. With Amazon Photos, Prime members receive unlimited full-resolution photo storage and 5GB for video storage. They can also order printed products or personalize their Echo Show or FireTV with Amazon Photos.
