Here are some familiar and some little-known services and features exclusively for Prime members. A few of these services may surprise and delight you.
Try before you buy
A gamer’s paradise
That’s when you get the perks. You get free access to select games and content, you receive a free subscription to a new web channel each month, get exclusive emoticons, enter chats and extend your broadcast storage to 60 days instead of the standard 14 days.
Silly, fun and good deals
Who’s that actor?
To access X-Ray, tap your tablet screen, click “up” on your TV remote or move your cursor while the video is playing. What do you get? Information on the actors, trivia and even a character bio, which comes in handy when watching a show with a large cast such as “Game of Thrones.”
Make reading fun for kids
This is a great way to get your kids interested in reading at an early age. Exclusively for Prime members, parents can sign up to get a Prime Book Box for Kids. The books are carefully selected based on a child’s age, reviews and parent’s member profile. An email will tell you what books will be included in each box you receive and you can swap them out for other titles. You can also choose how often you want the book box delivered. Each box costs $22.99 and shipping is free.
Whole Foods offers Prime discounts
In the store, a yellow sign means Prime members get an additional 10% off items that are already on sale. A blue sign means special deals only available to Prime members. To get your savings, download the Whole Foods Market app for iPhone and Android and scan your Prime code at checkout.
