Millions of households maintain an active Amazon Prime subscription for free two-day shipping. However, the membership fee includes a wide range of lesser-known digital benefits and digital tools that provide extra value.
1. Unlimited Full-Resolution Photo Storage
Prime members receive unlimited, full-resolution photo storage through Amazon Photos, along with 5GB of video storage. This allows you to back up your smartphone camera roll safely without paying monthly fees for external cloud storage services.
2. Free Prescription Medication Savings (Prime Rx)
Amazon Pharmacy offers a built-in prescription savings benefit called Prime Rx. It provides up to 80% off generic medications and 40% off brand-name drugs at over 60,000 participating pharmacies nationwide, including CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid.
3. Prime First Reads (Free Monthly Books)
Every month, Prime members can download one or two early-access Kindle eBooks completely free of charge before their official publication date through the Prime First Reads initiative.
4. Grubhub+ Free Annual Membership
Prime subscribers can claim a free one-year subscription to Grubhub+, which waives delivery fees on eligible food orders over $12 from participating local restaurants.
5. Prime Gaming Loot and Channel Subscriptions
Gamers linking their Amazon account to Twitch receive monthly free PC games, exclusive in-game content loot, and one free monthly channel subscription to support their favorite creators.
