Sharing is Caring (Especially When It Comes to Free Two-Day Shipping) : A Guide to Sharing Your Prime Membership in Canada
Let's face it, Canada. Winter is long, and sometimes the only joy you get is that sweet, sweet free two-day shipping notification from Amazon. But what if I told you that you could magnify that joy by tenfold? Yes, folks, we're talking about sharing your Amazon Prime membership.
Now, before you clutch your Prime membership like a loonie on laundry day, hear me out. Sharing your Prime account is like giving someone a magic gift basket overflowing with goodies: faster shipping, a bottomless pit of movies and TV shows (thanks, Prime Video!), and a mountain of free ebooks (because who doesn't love a good digital doorstop?).
But fear not, paranoid Prime-possessors! We're not suggesting a free-for-all. Amazon's got this nifty feature called Amazon Household that lets you share the Prime love with up to six lucky souls (although, we wouldn't recommend sharing with your frenemy who keeps "borrowing" your Netflix login).
How to Share Prime Like a Superhero (Without the Cape)
Sharing Prime is easier than saying "eh" after someone apologizes. Here's the lowdown:
- Head over to your Amazon account and find the "Manage Your Prime Membership" section. Spoiler Alert: It might be hiding, so put on your detective hat.
- Look for the "Share your Prime Benefits" section. This is where the magic happens.
- Click on "Manage Your Household" and prepare to unleash your inner gift-giver.
- Enter the email address of your chosen recipient (be warned, the power of free shipping is intoxicating, so choose wisely!).
- Important Note: You'll both need to agree to share payment methods. Don't worry, Amazon has security measures in place, so your recipient can't go on a spending spree with your one-click ordering habit.
- Review the terms and conditions, hit that "Agree and send invite" button, and BAM! You've just shared the Prime wealth.
Pro Tip: Need a convincing argument to entice your chosen recipient to join your Amazon Household? Remind them about the endless stream of award-winning documentaries they can use to finally win arguments at family gatherings.
Sharing Done Right: The Dos and Don'ts
Sharing Prime is a beautiful thing, but with great power comes great responsibility (Uncle Ben approves). Here are some helpful hints:
- Do choose people you trust. Remember, they'll have access to your Prime Video watchlist, which could be...incriminating.
- Don't go overboard with invites. Six is the limit, and for good reason. Imagine the chaos of six people all vying for that one-day delivery on the latest Harry Potter Funko Pops!
- Do spread the Prime cheer! There's nothing wrong with a little friendly competition to see who can finish "The Boys" on Prime Video the fastest.
- Don't be afraid to revoke access if someone abuses the privilege. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility (see previous point for reference).
So there you have it, folks! Sharing your Prime membership is a win-win. You get the satisfaction of spreading Prime joy, and your recipients get a treasure trove of Amazonian delights. Now go forth and share the Prime love, eh?
