What are the 17 Amazon Prime Benefits that you didn’t know existed? Well, when I signed up for Amazon Prime several years ago, it was to save money on all of the shipping costs. In the first year, I saved my Amazon Prime membership fee at least three times over by all the fast and free shipping I used.

Saving Money With Amazon
However, the Amazon Prime membership has expanded to offering you so many other savings that I thought I would share information with you on the 17 Amazon Prime Benefits that you didn’t know existed…or at least I didn’t know.
Limited Time for Finding Deals
My sister is very good at finding and clipping coupons. I love shopping with her as she always something that will save me money. However, that is not something that I am good at. It takes time to plan and find savings. I was working full-time, farming with my husband, was going to school part-time, and somehow had to take care of the family, clean house, do laundry, and cook meals. Therefore, I rarely have time to even go to the store to get what we need. Amazon was a great way to get the things we need delivered right to us and with the free shipping on most items, I felt like I was being prudent about saving money too.
Try it Before You Buy it
Amazon lets you try Amazon Prime for 30 days before you pay for it. For one month, Amazon Prime is free. This is the time for you to use all the free things that are available to you.

Students get 50% off of Amazon Prime membership. Amazon searches for special deals for students as they partner with vendors. If you have a child in school, this is a great deal.

Here are some other saving ideas for you.
I didn’t know about some of these and I’ve been a Prime member for over 5 years. I’m going to use Amazon Photos to back up stuff. I might also need the housecleaning at some point. LOL
I have also been an Amazon Prime member for a number of years and had not known about these deals. Glad you found this information useful. I know…housecleaning…would be so grand.
I love Amazon. We have a prime membership with Amazon Mexico because we live in Mexico, but it isn’t as great as the US site. Oh well, we take what we can get here 😉 Thanks for the info!
It is truly amazing the reach that Amazon has. Glad you can still get some deals. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
