Amazon offers several ways to use Prime for free. With a trial month or family membership, you can take advantage of benefits like fast shipping, streaming services, and exclusive offers.
Use Amazon Prime for free with the trial month
Amazon Prime currently costs €8.99 per month or €89.90 per year. However, the streaming giant offers its users an attractive opportunity to test the entire offering for free for 30 days. This trial period is ideal for getting to know the advantages of the service without having to commit directly to a paid subscription.
- New customers can sign up for a free month of Amazon Prime. During this time, all the benefits of membership are available without restriction, including Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Reading and free shipping.
- You can easily sign up via the Amazon website. Users must provide their payment details, but there are no charges during the trial period.
- To avoid costs after the trial month has expired, you should cancel the membership in good time. Cancellation can be done at any time during the trial period and will automatically prevent the conversion to a paid subscription.
- Students and apprentices can try Amazon Prime for free for six months. After the trial period ends, they get a discounted rate (50% off the regular cost). However, the music offering is limited to the basic version of Amazon Music.
- After canceling, access to all benefits remains in place until the end of the 30 days. After that, use ends automatically.
Other legal ways to use Amazon Prime for free
In addition to the trial month, there are other legal ways to stream Amazon content for free. These options are particularly interesting for users who do not want to sign up for a long-term membership.
- The ad-supported streaming service Amazon Freevee offers access to hundreds of movies and TV episodes at no additional cost. Freevee can be used independently of a Prime membership.
- Occasionally, Amazon offers special promotions where certain Prime content can be accessed for free. This includes movies or series on Prime Video that are available for a limited time without a membership.
- Users with a free trial month or an active membership have access to a wide range of eBooks and magazines. The Kindle reading app allows reading on different devices at no additional cost.
- Live sports broadcasts and other events are often available ad-free on Amazon Prime Video. This content can also be used during the trial month.
- Existing Prime members can share their benefits with another family member in the same household. This family member can then use the free shipping, for example, but not all other Prime services such as video or music.
