Can I share Prime membership?

Answered by Jason Smith

You can share your Prime membership with other members of your household through Amazon Household. This feature allows you to add another adult and up to two children to your Amazon Prime account, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of Prime as well.

To set up Amazon Household, you can go to your Amazon account settings and select the “Manage Your Household” option. From there, you can add another adult by sending them an invitation to join your household. They will need to accept the invitation and create their own Amazon account if they don’t already have one.

Once the second adult is added to your household, they will have access to many of the same benefits as the primary account holder. This includes free two-day shipping on eligible items, access to Prime Video streaming, Prime Music, Prime Reading, and early access to certain deals and discounts. It’s important to note that certain benefits, such as the ability to share Prime Reading books and Prime Video content, may have limitations depending on the specific item or title.

In addition to sharing Prime benefits, Amazon Household also allows you to create a family library. This means that any apps, eBooks, and audiobooks that you have purchased through Amazon can be shared with the other adult and up to two children in your household. This is a great way to give everyone in your family access to a wide range of digital content without having to purchase multiple copies.

It’s worth noting that to be eligible for Amazon Household, all members of the household must live at the same address. This is to ensure that the sharing of benefits is limited to immediate family members or those living in the same household.

In my personal experience, sharing Prime membership through Amazon Household has been incredibly convenient. Not only does it allow me to share the cost of the subscription with another adult in my household, but it also gives us the ability to access a wide range of digital content without having to purchase multiple copies. This has been particularly helpful when it comes to eBooks and audiobooks, as we can both enjoy the same titles without having to buy them separately.

Amazon Household is a fantastic feature for those who want to share their Prime membership and digital content with other members of their household. It’s easy to set up and provides a convenient way to maximize the benefits of Prime for everyone in the family.
