(BPT) – Amazon Prime offers the best of shopping and entertainment, including low prices and convenient delivery options. To make Prime even more accessible, Amazon offers a discounted monthly Prime membership for customers on government assistance, including qualifying recipients of Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) and Medicaid. Eligible customers can join Prime for only $5.99/month, allowing them to utilize the many benefits of Prime to help ease costs of their everyday lives. From single parents working overtime or people with disabilities on a fixed income to families going through a rough time, Prime has provided convenience, time and money savings, and easy discovery of things they need.

What customers are saying

David, a Prime member from Northumberland, Pennsylvania, has limited mobility due to an injury from his days in the military, which makes it harder to get to stores for everyday necessities. He is also the full-time caregiver for his elderly mother. David signed up for the discounted Prime offer when he learned he could enjoy the shopping and entertainment benefits of Prime at a price that was more convenient for his budget – $5.99 per month. With Prime, he can shop from home and get everything his family needs delivered fast.

David shares, ‘At one time, fixed income was an expression. Now, it’s reality. Amazon Prime has this discount program that allows me to make real small payments instead of getting hit with one big charge once a year. It gives me a little extra money to use every month.’
