Amazon Offers Discounted Prime Membership

Are you a Student? Do you have a valid EBT Card? If so you can SAVE $$$$ on AMAZON Membership NOW! Amazon is offering two discounted memberships in an effort to make its selection and savings more accessible, including the many conveniences and entertainment benefits of Prime. Even if you don’t qualify for one of the two programs below you can still get a FREE 30-day trial. 

 

Amazon Prime and EBT Government Benefits

Prime For Those on Government Assistance

Good news! Amazon is making a play for low-income shoppers. The online leader is offering a discount on its pay-by-month Prime membership. If you are on Government Assistance you can now get a discounted Amazon Prime Membership! Normally $10.99, Prime is just $5.99 a month if you have a valid EBT card. You will have all the Amazon Prime benefits like free shipping and unlimited streaming of movies and TV shows! This is great for people who have a valid Electronic Benefits Transfer card, used for programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs, or food stamps, as they often don’t have vehicles and going to brick and mortar stores is sometimes difficult for them.
