Below are some of the benefits you will enjoy including those you and the ones you don’t know.

To be eligible for this benefit,

2. Unlimited Photo Storage With Amazon Photos
Amazon provides all its customers with 5GB of free storage to store anything from videos to photos, music files to documents, and literally anything else that can be stored online.
Amazon Prime members, on the other hand, get unlimited photo file storage. This unlimited storage does not count against the actual cloud storage data limit.
Note that Amazon only allows you to store photos smaller than 2GB. Supported photo file formats include JPEG, BMP, TIFF, PNG, and RAW formats.
3. Ad-Free Video Streaming
Amazon has its own video streaming service that is one of the major contenders to top streaming services like Hulu and Netflix. With an Amazon Prime subscription, you could get access to ad-free streaming.
In addition to that, you can also extend your video streaming privileges with “add-on channels” which grant you access to specific types of content including HBO, Broadway HD, Showtime, and Anime Strike.
4. Ad-Free Music Streaming
Just like the ad-free video streaming feature, you can listen to an endless number of songs and albums (over 1 million) in the Amazon library for free with a Prime membership.
You also get unlimited skips and access handcrafted Prime Playlists. You can also create your own playlists.
5. Flat-Free Grocery Deliveries
You can build your pantry with the Prime Pantry program. This program allows you to order certain Prime Pantry items including household essentials and groceries. There are three subscription options to choose from, regardless they are way better than what you would get as a regular Amazon shopper.
Not that, only Prime Pantry-eligible items will be shipped according to the shipping subscription you go for.
6. Kindle Ebook Rentals
Another sure reason for sign up for Amazon Prime membership is the book-reading benefits that come with. Prime members who own Kindle reading devices (Kindle e-readers or Kindle Fire tablets) can rent ebooks for free from the Kindle Owners Lending Library. Note that, lending is limited to one ebook per calendar month.
7. Lightning Deals
Lightning deals are one of the most impressive discounts offered by Amazon. A lightning deal is an item with a huge discount that is made available in a certain quantity for a certain period of time.
The good news for Prime members is that they get to access to lightning deals 30 minutes before non-subscribers do. These deals are usually heavily discounted with only a small quantity allowed for purchase.

A 30-minute head start is a long time to pick an item, add it to cart, and checkout to complete the purchase.
8. Access to Amazon Elements
Elements is an Amazon store stocked with vitamins, protein powder, and other vital supplements.
9. Prime Wardrobe
This feature gives you the exclusive privilege to try eligible clothing, shoes, and accessories for seven days. Within that time, you can send back items you don’t like and get a full refund.
