How to Score a Huge Discount on Amazon Prime with Your SNAP or EBT Card

Amazon has introduced a great way to make its services more affordable for those receiving government assistance, even after increasing the annual price of its Prime membership.

Shoppers who are enrolled in programs like SNAP, SNAP EBT Cash benefits, or Medicaid can save 50% on their Amazon Prime membership, giving them access to all the benefits for just $6.99 per month.

For recipients of SNAP benefits, Amazon also allows you to use your EBT card to purchase fresh groceries and other eligible products directly from the site, making it convenient for families relying on assistance.

Learn more about the program and check eligibility at amazon.com/prime/qualify.
 

How to Apply for the Prime Discount

To see if you qualify for the 50% discount, visit amazon.com/prime/qualify and follow the simple steps. You’ll need to:

1. Enter your EBT number.
2. Upload an image of your EBT card.
3. Select the state that issued the card from the dropdown menu.

Your EBT card will not be used for the membership payment—Amazon just needs it for verification. Recipients of other government assistance programs, such as Medicare, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), WIC, and the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), can also take advantage of the discount.

For those receiving the Economic Impact Payment (EIP) card, you can also use it to qualify for this limited-time discount.
 

What You Get with a Discounted Prime Membership

A discounted Amazon Prime membership provides the same perks as the regular membership, such as:

• Free two-day delivery on over 100 million items.
• Access to Amazon Prime Video for movies and TV shows.
• Unlimited photo storage with Amazon Photos.

Prime Student Membership

If you’re a college student, Amazon also offers a Prime Student membership, which is free for the first six months and 50% off after that.

With a Prime Student account, you can enjoy free two-day shipping, ad-free access to more than 2 million songs, and Amazon Prime Video access.

For more details and to sign up, visit amazon.com/primestudent.

Whether you’re a student or part of a government assistance program, Amazon makes it easy to save on Prime membership and get the benefits that come with it.
