Here are 9 advantages that many Prime members may not even realize exist — and there’s no better time to start harnessing them.
1. Great discounts at Whole Foods
2. Thousands of movies without Wi-Fi
Many Prime customers don’t even realize that a whole library of films can be downloaded. Select Prime Video titles are available to be downloaded to compatible mobile devices, which include Fire tablets, Fire phones, Android phones and tablets, and iOS devices. Find the Prime title you want to download and open the video details. After that, tap on Download to start the process. Note that for TV shows, you will want to select the episode you want to download and then look for the specific download icon, which will be a down arrow.
3. Money-back with Reload
4. Free editor’s choice book every month
First Reads is a selection of six editor’s choice books. Prime members can pick one to read free each month. Chances are good you’ll find an option that will draw your interest. A recent list included a thriller, a gothic murder story, a historical novel, a true-crime book, a young-adult book, and a cute kid’s book about a duck.
5. Product samples and discounts
6. Deliveries to your car
7. Try before you buy clothes
8. Free shipping at other sites, too
