How to Avoid Paying $139 for Amazon Prime This article contains Amazon affiliate links. As we get closer to Prime Day, you may want to look into the Amazon Prime membership to get some of the better deals. But it is not cheap and it’s not something that automatically makes sense for everyone. An Amazon Prime membership now costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year, after first launching 20 years ago at just $79/year. It now offers many other perks besides free shipping. But not everyone has to pay full price, or needs to get Amazon Prime at all. Let’s see what options you have. Sign Up for the Amazon Prime Free Trial This is the best option to get started. You can just go to Amazon Prime. and if you are eligible for a free trial, you will have an option to select “Start your free 30-day trial”. Follow the on-screen instructions to sign up. You will have access to free Two-Day shipping, Prime Video, Prime Music and more. Discounted Prime for Students and Young Adults Students and young adults can try Prime for Young Adults with a six-month $0 trial at amazon.com/youngadult, then pay a discounted rate that is half off the regular price. That means that you will pay just of $7.49 per month or $69 per year for a membership. Those who qualify for this discount will also get 10% cash back on Prime Day deals within eligible categories. This membership is available to Young Adults (age 18-24) or college enrolled students who sign up for Prime for Young Adults and verify eligibility. Get Prime Access Amazon Prime Access is a discounted Amazon Prime membership designed for eligible government assistance recipients and low-income individuals. Qualifying EBT and government assistance recipients can pay less than half (just $6.99) on the monthly Prime membership. If you are eligible, you can go to amazon.com/primeaccess and click get started. Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your EBT card or another qualifying document. You can provide proof of eligibility or participation from the following programs: SNAP EBT Medicaid Woman, Infants, and Children Program (WIC) Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Direct Express Debit Card (DE) Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) National School Lunch Program (NSLP) Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Tribal Assistance Eligibility Letter (TTANF) Nutrition Assistance Program (NAP) If you reverify your eligibility every 12 months, you receive the discount for up to four years from the date you sign up. Navy Federal Flagship Rewards Card Navy Federal Credit Union’s Visa Signature® Flagship Rewards Credit Card offers a free year of Amazon Prime. You need to be a Navy Federal Credit Union member (military, veterans, and family members) before applying. Skip Amazon Prime While Amazon Prime offers lots of benefits, it’s not really essential for everyone. If all you really care about is free shipping for example, then you can get that by spending at least $35 per order in the Amazon store. You’ll need to check to see if the item is fulfilled and shipped by Amazon and therefore eligible for free shipping on the product detail page. The delivery time for these orders can take between five and eight days, but it may be even less on some cases. You can even save up to 15% on some items with Amazon’s Subscribe and Save program. This program is designed to help shoppers with everyday essentials, that you never run out of toothpaste, toilet paper, dog food, or other necessities. The service is free, even to non-Prime members. Read more about how it works. Pay Full Price If you are not eligible for a discounted membership or a free trial, and you still want Amazon Prime, then your only option is to pay full price for it. However, it’s important to evaluate your shopping habits and decide if it’s worth paying $139. If you’re not sure, then you can start with a monthly membership. Amazon Prime can be worth the price if you use its benefits regularly. For $139/year (or $14.99/month), you get: Free two-day (and often same-day) shipping on many items Don’t need your Prime order right away? Select No-Rush Shipping and earn rewards for future purchases. Prime Video streaming with movies, TV, and some original content Prime Music (limited catalog) and Prime Reading Free Grubhub+: Enjoy unlimited $0 food delivery fees, exclusive savings, and more with a free Grubhub+ membership. Exclusive deals during Prime Day and early access to Lightning Deals Amazon Photos unlimited photo storage Grocery delivery benefits in eligible areas Save up to 50% at Amazon Fresh and 10% or more at Whole Foods Disclaimer: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases made through this article.

Hyatt’s New Hotel Bonus, Get 500 Points per Night Hyatt offers an incentive to stay at new hotels. World of Hyatt members who stay at newly opened properties can get bonus points. The 500 points bonus is often available for a couple of months, once the property becomes available online. The selection of Hyatt hotels that have this bonus changes monthly. So it’s a good idea to keep an eye on this list. The bonus is not huge, but with everything being equal, you might want to select a Hyatt property that gets you an additional 500 points per night. Check out more details below. Offer Details Discover new places and reward your spirit of adventure. You can earn 500 Bonus Points for qualifying nights at new Hyatt hotels around the world. Here’s how: Earn 500 Bonus Points per night at new hotels during specified offer periods Paid stays and awards qualify for the bonus. Must checkout during that hotel’s offer period. There’s no need to register and you can earn on top of other offers Keep checking back for new additions Currently there are 29 new properties available. You can find the full list of eligible properties here. Expiration dates vary between June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2026. Each property has a specific promotion period window. Important Terms Offer valid for 500 Bonus Points for each qualifying night stayed by World of Hyatt members in good standing during a hotel’s offer period at participating hotels and resorts. Offer valid at participating hotels and resorts for stays with a checkout date during each hotel’s offer period. To be eligible for this offer you must be a World of Hyatt member in good standing at time of reservation and stay, stay at a participating hotel with a checkout date during that hotel’s offer period, provide your World of Hyatt membership number at time of check-in, and either pay an Eligible Rate or redeem a free night award. Only one point bonus may be earned per member, per stay, regardless of the number of rooms booked. Only the room occupied by the member will count toward this offer. Two or more consecutive nights at the same hotel will be deemed one stay. All points awarded under this offer are Bonus Points. Guru’s Wrap-up The World of Hyatt program is one of the best out there for good reason. You get a lot of value for your points, there are great properties in the US and around the world, and the World of Hyatt Card is a keeper. The World of Hyatt Business Card was added more recently, and both cards now have elevated welcome bonuses. Elite status is also quite valuable, they have fun features such as Brand Explorer and we often see different promotions. This 500 points bonus is yet another opportunity to earn extra points for stays at new Hyatt hotels. It is not a bonus that will make you book a property out of nowhere, but if one of these new properties matches your travel plans, then 500 extra points are always a good deal. One thing to keep in mind is that new properties might not always be the best choice. Hopefully can check out previous reviews or trip reports if they are available, but sometimes they haven’t tested and worked out everything on the property. Our site doesn't have credit card affiliate links so we will always give readers the best possible offers!
