5 Amazon Freebies We Love for Prime Day and Beyond
Free Amazon Music Unlimited for 5 Months
Amazon Music Unlimited normally costs $10.99 a month without a Prime membership. Otherwise, with your Prime membership, it's $9.99 per month (Amazon Music is free). However, Amazon lets you try Amazon Music Unlimited for free for up to five month as a Prime member. And you can cancel at anytime.
Free Audible Premium Plus for 3 Months
Right now, you can enjoy Audible Premium Plus FREE for three months. Cancel your membership before your 90-days free trial is up or you’ll be charged up to $14.95+ per month. But don’t worry — you still get to keep your free audiobooks! You can listen to them on any device indefinitely.
Free Kindle Unlimited for 3 Months
Amazon is also offering a 3-month free trial to Kindle Unlimited. During your trial you can enjoy unlimited access to more than 4 million titles, magazine subscriptions, and borrow books from a selection of Amazon's Great on Kindle eBooks. After your 3-month free trial, a Kindle Unlimited subscription will cost $11.99 per month.
Free Amazon Smart Thermostat
Energy providers are offering rebates to customers who purchase a qualifying device. One of those devices is the Amazon Smart Thermostat that's on sale for less than some rebates in certain areas. Amzon will email you the rebate information once the device ships.
Free Grubhub
One of the perks of being an Amazon Prime member is free Grubhub+. Until recently, the Grubhub+ offer was limited to a year. But now it is a full-time benefit of a Prime membership. This is almost a $120 in savings per year!
Free Kindle Vella through August 29
For a limited time, Prime Student members can read to their heart's content with Kindle Vella. And no, you don't need a Kindle to enjoy the stories published there. You can read on your phone, tablet, or computer.
Note, you'll need a Prime Student membership (which you can get free for six months, then $69.99 per year) for this deal.

How to get free items from Amazon without a Prime membership.
Here are a few Amazon freebies you can get that don't necessarily require a Prime membership. Some offers are timely, so you've got to act fast. But others, you can redeem year-round.
Ask Alexa to send you a free sample.
When you ask Alexa to send you a free sample for the first time, she’ll tell you that you’ll need to go into your Alexa app to create and link your Send Me a Sample account. You’ll only have to do this once.
Once you’re all set up, you can ask Alexa to send you a sample again, and she’ll provide you with a list of available samples at the moment.
Get a free month of Prime.
Anyone can try Prime for free for 30 days! Amazon Prime opens up a whole new world for freebies including Amazon Prime Video, free Amazon One-Day or Two-Day shipping, unlimited photo storage, early access to lightning deals, free returns, and more.
Enjoy 3-month free Amazon Music Unlimited trial.
Like Prime members, non-members can enjoy a 3-month free trial of Amazon Music Unlimited. Only difference? It's three-months, instead of five. To get this Amazon freebie you will need to purchase an eligible item like an echo device (sold and shipped by Amazon), or, if you already have a device you can register it in the Alexa app. After your purchase or registration the 3-month free trial will automatically apply to your account.
Get free Amazon shipping.
You don’t need an Amazon free shipping code to get free shipping. If you don’t have a Prime membership you can still get Amazon free shipping when you spend $25 or more (in some zip codes the minimum spend is $35+).
Get 5GB of free cloud storage through Amazon Photos.
In Amazon Photos, you can store photos, videos. Even non-Prime customers get 5GB of complimentary free cloud photo storage. With that much space, you can store about 1,500 photos. For free.
Amazon freebies you can get with a Prime membership.
Get free credits galore — they translate into free money!
Amazon offers so many ways to get free credits that we had to write a separate article about it! Make sure to check that out.
Access free PC games when you have Prime.
You can get a new PC game every week that you can download, keep, and play forever with Prime. See Prime gaming details here.
Shop Prime Day deals.
As a Prime member you have the chance to shop Prime Day (a 48-hour sale) that occurs every July and again in October. These exclusive events offer deep discounts on thousands of items like TVs, laptops, Apple products, baby items. Plus, there are lightning deals (that can save you up to 91%), invite-only deals, and savings on gift cards.
Enjoy Free One-Day or Same-Day shipping.
You probably know Amazon ships almost everything (including items from Amazon Pharmacy) to Prime members for free. It’s the most obvious freebie that comes with a Prime membership.
But did you know that as a Prime member, you can also get free One-Day shipping on certain items? When you’re shopping, filter by “Get it Tomorrow” to see One-Day eligible items. You’ll receive a One-Day shipment by 9 p.m. the next day.
Plus, Amazon offers Same-Day delivery in select areas, including Dallas, Detroit, Orlando, Phoenix and Philadelphia. In these cities, place an order of $35+ by 5 p.m. and you’ll get it within five hours. Items marked “Prime FREE Same-Day” are eligible.
Watch thousands of Prime Video titles for free.
Right up there with free shipping, is the free Prime Video perk. Prime members can watch thousands of shows and movies with Prime Video for free as part of their membership.
Read free Kindle books through Prime Reading.
Prime members get free, instant access to loads of Kindle ebooks and audiobooks. Best part? You don’t need a Kindle device to read. Even non-Prime members can read select titles for free, but only on a Kindle device.
If you’re a frequent reader, take advantage of Amazon First Reads, which offers once-a-month (free!) early access to select new titles.
Get a free baby box of samples with an Amazon Baby Registry.
When you create your Amazon Registry, expect to get all kinds of coupons and offers for baby-related items, including a free baby box as a welcome. The box will have trial and full-size samples of baby products.
You will need to add 10 products to your registry and make a $10 purchase from your registry to get access to the free Welcome Box. But you can add anything (like dog food, or paper towels) to your registry and buy it.
Also, you’ll get a 15% baby registration completion discount.
Drop off your Amazon returns at Kohl’s for free — you don’t even need a box.
Sure you can still drop your Amazon return off at UPS or Whole Foods for free, too, but you know what’s even easier? Take it into a Kohl’s store and don’t bother with boxing it up at all.
To make an Amazon return at Kohl’s, open the Amazon app and follow this process: My Orders → Return or Replace Items → Reason for Return → Select Kohl’s Dropoff.
Amazon will send a QR code to your email. The QR code is essential for processing your Kohl’s Amazon return — you’ll show it to the Kohl’s associate when you hand over your items.
When you make your return you'll receive a %-off coupon or $5 Kohl's Cash (must use within 7 days).
