How to sign up for Amazon Prime
Amazon has announced that its annual Prime Day sales are scheduled for Monday, June 21st and Tuesday, June 22nd; and if you feel as if it hasn't been a year since the last event - you're right, it hasn't. Last year, Prime Day happened on October 13th and 14th, three months later than usual, due to the coronavirus pandemic. But this year we're back on schedule, and as before, Amazon will be dropping prices on a lot of its products for its Prime members.
If you're attracted by the goodies being offered, but you haven't signed up for Amazon Prime, don't worry - Amazon makes it very easy. (As you'd expect, it's the sorry vendor who makes it difficult for people to become new customers.)
Besides giving access to Prime Day bargains, Amazon has come up with a bunch of features to entice people to sign up to its Prime service. These include: access to Prime Video, its streaming video service; free and faster shipping on purchases (with two-day delivery for many items and even same-day delivery for some); deals on Whole Foods Market purchases; Amazon Music Prime audio streaming (not to be confused with the more extensive Amazon Music Unlimited, which is an additional $7.99 / month for Prime members); Prime Gaming, which includes a free Twitch channel subscription; online photo storage; and Prime Reading, which gives access to a library of comics, books, and magazines.
You can share your Prime account - and all of its features - with one other adult. And you get a 30-day free trial, so you can try it (and the Prime Day specials) out to see if it suits.
Here's how to sign up.
