Unlocking Hidden Perks: Amazon Prime Membership Benefits You Didn't Know About

Are you getting the most out of your Amazon Prime membership? Our experts share 7 lesser-known Prime member benefits you might not be using!

We have talked a lot about 10 of the lesser-known Prime Benefits you may not be using, but did you know there are even more perks of being a Prime member? At $139 a year, or $15 a month (pay annually, otherwise you’re adding $40 to the membership cost!) let's face it, free two-day shipping may not be worth the price of admission. To make Prime work for you, make sure that you are taking advantage of all of the perks they offer.
