7 Reasons You Need Amazon Prime In Your Life

Have you heard of Amazon Prime? If not, you are seriously missing out on some amazing things. Mail day is like Christmas morning when you have boxes under the tree. Where I used to live in Virginia, the mail man knew the kids and me by name. I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing. I really got my money’s worth from Prime.

People that have Prime, use it for the few basic things. Like the Free 2-day shipping, depending on how often you are buying things – this really comes in handy. Or the unlimited resources for the kindle library or how great of a great multimedia source it is. But what if I told you there was more to Amazon than just that. Here’s 7 Reasons You Need Amazon Prime In Your Life – you will thank me later!

7 Reasons You Need Amazon Prime In Your Life

Refer Friends & Family and Earn $5!

Share Amazon Prime by sending this link to your friends and family. Once they join and make a purchase of at least $5, you get $5 toward your next Amazon transaction.

Amazon Smile + Helping Out Charities

Amazon Smile is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to your favorite charitable organization. You can choose from nearly one million organizations to support.

Streaming Free Amazon Music

With Prime Music, you have access to thousands of the most popular artists. There are no ads, and you can play specific songs (unlike Pandora). The one watch-out I’ve found is that their collection is nowhere near as big as Spotify or Apple Music.  However, it’s free to try out and see if you like it.

Amazon Pantry has a flat fee of $5.99

Amazon Pantry is an exclusive service for Prime members that allows you to shop for groceries and household products online. Basically, fill up a box for a flat fee of $5.99 on top of product prices. It’s delivered right to your home—a great option for someone with a busy lifestyle. We did this when it was the kid and I before when I didn’t have a car.

Streaming Amazon Video

You can stream tv shows and movies on Amazon Video for free with an Amazon Prime membership. You can use a FireStick to stream on TV, there’s also apps for both Android & Apple.

Prime Reading 

Prime Reading is a new feature that gives members access to unlimited books, audio books, and magazines with no due date. You don’t need a Kindle device to enjoy Prime Reading. There’s free kindle apps for Apple & Android, you can also read on the kindle and fire tablets.

All of this for $99 for a year, yes please! If you can’t do the $99/a year there’s a monthly option which is still cheaper than having Spotify, Netflix & more. Try Prime for free for 30 days!
