Medicaid or EBT: Cheaper Amazon Prime

Sharing an Amazon Prime Membership
You can share your Amazon Prime membership with another adult in your Amazon Household. You and your invitee must both be adults and agree to link your accounts through Amazon Household and agree to share payment methods. This means that you will have access to each other’s payment methods, so you should only share your Prime membership with someone you trust. The person you share your Prime membership with will get the same Amazon Prime benefits as you for no additional cost. Both adults will keep their own personal accounts while sharing Prime benefits. To do this, once you’re logged in, add that person to your Amazon Household by following these steps.
How to add a person to your Amazon Household
- Log into your Prime account by clicking here
- Click Add Adult
- Give their name and email address and follow to onscreen instructions from there
