18 of the best perks you get with an Amazon Prime membership (AMZN)
Amazon
As a member of Amazon Prime, you get a convenient and well-publicized perk: free two-day shipping on almost any item on Amazon.
But the $99-per-year membership actually gets you a lot more than expedited shipping. In fact, signing up for Prime unlocks features like Amazon's vast digital library of music, movies, television, and books; one-hour restaurant delivery; and unlimited cloud storage for your photos.
And starting soon, Prime members will get special discounts at Whole Foods, thanks to Amazon's acquisition of the grocer, which is expected to close on Monday.
Here are 18 of the coolest benefits of Amazon Prime.
1. Free two-day shipping
Most things you buy on Amazon are eligible for free two-day shipping, but there are a few exceptions:
- Some items that are fulfilled by Amazon Marketplace sellers
- Magazine subscriptions
- Personalized gift cards
- Items sent to international addresses and addresses in US territories, possessions, or protectorates (except for Puerto Rico)
2. Amazon Restaurants
For a $20 minimum order, you can get restaurant food delivered in less an hour in Manhattan, Orlando, Los Angeles, and 17 other metro areas.
3. Prime Photos
A Prime membership also gives you access to Prime Photos, Amazon's cloud storage feature. Members get unlimited storage for photos, plus 5 GB for videos and documents.
