Amazon ends a program that lets Prime members share free shipping perk with users outside household
"The online behemoth says it will eliminate the sharing on Oct. 1 and is encouraging users outside the household of the account holder to sign up for their own Prime subscription. NEW YORK (AP) - Amazon is ending a program that allows members of its Prime membership subscription program to share their free shipping benefits with people who don't have the same primary address."
"Amazon is replacing the so-called Prime Invitee program with Amazon Family, which lets account holders share the free two-day shipping perk as well as a broad range of other perks like exclusive deals and movies with only one other adult in their household, up to four teens (who were added before April 7) and up to four profiles for children, according to Amazon's website."
Amazon will end the Prime Invitee sharing program on Oct. 1 and encourage people outside the account holder's household to get their own Prime subscription. The Prime Invitee program is being replaced by Amazon Family, which allows sharing of free two-day shipping and other perks with one other adult in the household, up to four teens (added before April 7) and up to four child profiles. Amazon said the adult may be a spouse, family member or roommate. Prime membership costs $14.99 monthly or $139 annually. Amazon is expanding its delivery network into smaller cities, towns and rural communities.
