Amazon Household Link

Additional members added after 08/02/15:
See http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/71368

Additional members added prior to 08/02/15:
Original member gets the shipping upgrades, videos, Amazon Mom & lending library.
Additional members get shipping upgrades only.
Each Prime account can have 4 additional family members associated with it.
Amazon adds bennies to prime accounts so this list may change - feel free to update the wiki if you discover new information.

To add yourself to an account: You need to provide the original member with your name, email and month/date of birth.  Do this via PM.
The member will respond back with the info you need to complete your signup.

When signing up with someone, make sure you know how long the prime membership will last first, to avoid any misunderstandings.

As always, exercise caution when dealing with strangers on the internet

You may also want to check if Amazon charges tax in your state before you make up a price.  >:(

henche's family method
Split the main prime membership with your siblings and cousins. You share passwords and just need to remember to charge the correct cc and ship to the correct address. This way you can all use the video streaming also.  (privacy alert)

Haven't touched my setting and got this. Hope this isn't Amazon's way of kicking off the grandfathered plans... anyone else get this?


Don't think so. Just torn back on auto renew and make sure that your cc on file for prime is valid.

Here's to hoping that if I'm signed up for the next 5 years, I definitely should be good.

Some nincompoop CS rep accidentally cancelled my Prime, and while I eventually got refunded for the unused months they wouldn't reinstate my old Prime insisting that I have to get a new subscription and now the people I was sharing with are bumped off... >:(

So my Amazon Prime is set to renew on 11/24.  Is there no longer any way to take advantage of my $79 Gift of Prime?  Pity, because I couldn't use it last year.  So now I just paid out money early.  Really annoying.  After your experience @achas veachas I don't think it's worth trying it, I better not let my prime expire :(

How do I know if my membership is old enough to have secondary members? Everyone who uses it currently has access to all the cc's.

I think you need to have more than 250 posts on DDF to be added into a grandfathered account. :P
But seriously, @yelped, did it involve jumping through hoops, or he/she/it just clicked the add member button?

:) just clicked on add family member or something like that. But I just realized that it might be a new account. Even though I am not able to see my sisters CC on my account and I think that was one of the differences between the old and new accounts.
