Get Amazon Prime for half the price with Prime Access

Did you know Amazon offers a discounted Prime membership for qualifying customers? It’s called Prime Access, and it costs just $6.99 per month — that’s 50% off the standard $14.99 monthly fee. You get all the same benefits of full-price Prime at a much lower cost.

Who qualifies?

Anyone with a valid government assistance program (like SNAP, Medicaid, WIC, etc.) or income verification can sign up. The sign-up process is simple: upload documentation like an EBT card or tax transcript to verify your eligibility. It only takes a few minutes to check.

Already a Prime member?

Good news: You can switch to Prime Access and start saving right away. Amazon lets you move from a standard Prime membership to Prime Access once you’re approved, and your membership fee will be reduced accordingly.

Get full Prime benefits at a lower cost

Even though Prime Access is a discounted membership, it comes with all the same perks as regular Prime. Here’s what you’ll get:

Free and fast shipping: Two-day delivery is standard, but in many areas, you can get same-day or next-day shipping on thousands of items, which is great for last-minute orders.
Prime Video and Amazon Music: Stream movies, TV shows, and music without any additional charges. Whether you're into holiday classics or binge-worthy series, it’s all included.
Grocery savings: If you use SNAP EBT, you can shop Amazon Fresh for eligible grocery items. Prime members also get exclusive discounts (sometimes up to 50% off) on food, household staples, and more.
Fuel discounts: Save $0.10 per gallon at select bp, Amoco, and ampm gas stations when you activate the discount in your Prime account.

How do you stay eligible?

To keep your Prime Access membership active, you’ll need to reverify your eligibility once every 12 months.

Whether you're a new subscriber or switching from a full-price membership, Prime Access is a smart way to get the full Amazon Prime experience at a significantly lower cost.
