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.

Students with a valid .edu email address can get a 6-month free trial (non-students get 30 days) and then only have to pay $69 a year.
