Did you know you can share yourAmazon Primesubscription with another person for no extra charge?

Well you can, withAmazonHousehold, and it’s really easy to set-up.

Sharing your Prime subscription with someone else doesn’t give them all the features you have access to as the primary account holder, but they will be able to benefit from some significant ones.

First up, sharing your Prime subscription gives another person (who’s over 18) access to Amazon’s unlimited next day delivery - the core reason many sign up to Prime in the first place.

Other benefits that are shared include access to thePrime Videostreaming service and you can share app and ebook purchases between the two accounts without having to purchase them twice.

Despite being called Household, the other adult doesn’t actually need to live in the same house as you, they just need to reside in the same country.

You can also share your Prime account with up to four children (and in the US there’s also a ‘teens’ option for those aged 13-17), who get more limited access to the benefits while you get complete control over what they can and can’t see.
