Amazon Prime gifting

Thinking of giving gifts for your loved ones? Instead of physical gifts, why not give them the gift of Amazon Prime membership?

Amazon will send your gift recipient an email on the day you choose along with redemption instructions. The gift recipient can start their Prime membership right away.

What if the recipient is already a Prime member?

Don’t worry, the gift can be exchanged for an Amazon.com Gift Card in the value of the original gift purchase price plus any applicable sales taxes paid.

Will my credit card be automatically charged after the membership expires?

No. The gift membership does not automatically renew.

If there is a special day coming up, a Prime membership will certainly be a great gift that your loved ones will appreciate.

Free trial alert: The usual offer is a one-month free trial. However, right now, for a limited time, Amazon is giving new customers a 3-month free trial period for Amazon Music Unlimited. That is, you have 3 months of free unlimited music!

Audible free trial

Are you a fan of listening to stories and podcasts instead of reading? If so, then a monthly subscription to Audible may be the right service for you.

After trial, all members receive 1 credit per month.

Audible gifting

You also have the option of gifting Audible Premium Plus memberships.

How does Audible gifting work?

Kindle Unlimited free trial

For all the book lovers out there, Kindle Unlimited is the dream library come true.

Kindle Unlimited is an Amazon subscription service that gives you access to borrow from a large selection of titles, all WITHOUT DUE DATES! The service provides you access to a significantly greater number of digital books than your local library. You can also read many ebooks by self-publishers that are exclusive to Amazon. 

Using Kindle Unlimited is easy and straightforward. No longer do you have to go to the local library to pick up and return books. All you need to do is to select the books (up to 10 each time) you want to read, download them, and there you go! If you don’t like them, not a problem. Click “return” and the books will disappear into the thin air as fast as they first showed up on your device.

Basically-Free trial alert: Kindle Unlimited is currently offering a 3-month trial at only $0.99. That is basically free at only $0.33 per month!

The membership will be renewed at $9.99 per month afterwards.
