Here’s how to share your Prime membership so others in your household can use it.
You can only do that if you trust the other adult to pay you back for whatever they spend.
Once you’ve set up a Household (which we’ll explain in more detail below), your family can access a whole range of benefits including Prime Video, which allows you to set up various user profiles (just like Netflix).
Note that you can’t share benefits if you’re a Prime Student, Prime Video-only user, or an invited guest of a Prime member (the member is the person who pays for Prime).
Next, click on Accounts & List to the right of the search bar. Then, click Your Prime Membership from the list, or click on Prime – View benefits and payment settings (as shown below) to be taken to a new page that shows the benefits you’re entitled to with your Prime Membership. These will vary depending upon your region.
Scroll all the way down to the bottom and you should see a section that says Share your Prime benefits. Click the button marked ‘Invite someone now’.
Enter the name and email address of the person you would like to share your Prime account with.
The invitee will receive an email similar to the one shown below. They will have 14 days to accept the invitation and can cancel their existing Prime membership if they already have one.
You’ll then see an invitation confirmation and more information about the shareable benefits, which we talk more about below.
