The person that's not the main account can't link Amazon mom to prime benefits. Does that make sense? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1290023 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 18:56:57 +0000 regberadaisy 1290023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: doesn't have to be family. There's on lead account holder, the person that pays the membership fee. That person gets the free prime videos. I believe others don't get to combine Amazon mom.<br /> You just add their account information and email. They have their own log in and everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1289995 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 18:30:19 +0000 BSB 1289995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Yup, and if you are an Amazon Student member at $39/year, you can't invite share your account either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1270047 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 16:50:45 +0000 Meridian 1270047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's nice friend shared his Prime with us, and I am so grateful! I always wondered why I couldn't view the tv streaming though, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266947 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 15:06:27 +0000 Pirouette 1266947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, my mom shares with me! Only negatives are I don't get amazon mom or streaming. But we have Netflix and on demand through cable so we're good. I do wish there was a way to get amazon mom benefits though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266918 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 14:36:08 +0000 BSB 1266918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't, yet. I think I looked into it and didn't do it for some reason.</p> <p>Thanks for all the great info. I'm going to get my siblings on my account. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266896 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 14:03:09 +0000 lawbee11 1266896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I share with my mom and we don't live in the same household. I just had to send her an invite and she had to enter my birthday (I guess as a security measure?) and now she gets prime shipping from her Amazon account. She doesn't know my username or password. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266894 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 14:02:08 +0000 Mae 1266894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea we share with a friend of mine! Different names, different addresses, no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266893 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 14:00:07 +0000 birdofafeather 1266893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: @mrs. bird: yep, i shared with my mom and sister. separate accounts, separate addresses, but they get free shipping. my parents have every tv channel known to man, so they don't need streaming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266868 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 13:33:59 +0000 sunny 1266868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recall reading that if you are an Amazon mom member you can't share your prime benefits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266863 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 13:19:52 +0000 gilmoregirl 1266863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother lives in California and he shared his Prime membership with me (I'm in PA). We don't share an account, passwords or any purchase info. He's the primary member, so I don't get streaming, just the free shipping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266825 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 12:45:40 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1266825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: @mrs. bird: @abbydabbydoodlebug: Yep! No account sharing. They "invite" you to share their prime benefits, but you each maintain your own amazon accounts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266800 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 12:16:42 +0000 jetsa 1266800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: my sister in sc uses my prime. I'm married so we have different last names and billing addresses. Also I'm in il. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266795 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 12:15:18 +0000 PurplePumps 1266795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, DH's best friend "shared" his prime with us and we are definitely not in the same household, have any same shipping or billing addresses in our accounts. I think they just ask for the email and birthday to enter in when you are invited to share. We each have our own amazon account. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266794 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 12:14:46 +0000 mrsjazz 1266794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I'm thinking that maybe you can't share if the person lives elsewhere. Maybe they review addresses? Or maybe not and you can get away with it.</p> <p>"If you sign up for a free trial or paid Prime membership, you may invite up to four eligible household members (living at the same address) to enjoy the shipping benefits of your free trial or paid Prime membership at no extra cost (invitees)."</p> <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: If you go to the Manage Prime Membership screen here's an option to invite a household member. You add their name, birthday, relationship to you, birthday, and e-mail address. The person receives an invitation via e-mail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266792 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 12:13:53 +0000 mrs. 64 1266792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I share a prime membership (and live in the same house obviously) but have different accounts. I can't see what he orders and vice versa so it is good for presents and whatnot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266790 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 12:12:43 +0000 Happygal 1266790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: No. My dad paid the fee and extended an invite to me. He doesn't see what I buy, and vice versa. I get the benefit of fast/free shipping, but nothing for the videos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266787 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 12:08:09 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1266787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Really? So do they need my account login info to get the prime benefits? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266786 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 12:07:30 +0000 sorrycharlie 1266786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: bahaha! do the dishes or you're paying for shipping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266784 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 12:06:18 +0000 mrsjazz 1266784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I can't see any of my husband's purchases on my Prime account. But I could revoke his privileges at any moment! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266782 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 12:04:22 +0000 sorrycharlie 1266782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: that's what I think the idea is! you're your own account but both share the benefits. my confusion is if you're allowed diff shipping or billing addresses, cause obviously that would show that it's not a within-household member, lol</p> <p>ETA: if husband and I shared we'd have same billing and shipping address, so pretty obvious we're household members. but if I split with a friend, my mom, my cousin, etc. - would they realize we aren't household members with the different addresses. that's what i'm trying to figure out. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266780 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 12:02:05 +0000 mrs. bird 1266780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: wait, so you don't share accounts, they just get the benefit of free shipping?? so like right now my mom &amp; i each have prime accounts because i don't like the idea of anyone being able to see my orders, wish lists, or browsing history, could we share an account next time without being seeing each others orders, etc? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266779 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 12:01:30 +0000 sorrycharlie 1266779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: that seems to line up with what the description on the site says:</p> <p><b>Share Your Amazon Prime Benefits</b></p> <p><b>Free or paid Amazon Prime members can share their shipping benefits with up to four additional family members living in the same household. If you purchase a Prime membership for a small business, you may invite up to four co-workers to shop with this corporate account. Other Amazon Prime membership benefits such as Prime Instant Video and the Kindle Owners' Lending Library can't be shared.</b></p> <p>So that said, let's say Person A has Prime. and invites me. can I have a separate shipping and billing address? or would that kind of kick you off/nullify your ability to use it, because it's supposed to be "household" members? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266776 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 11:57:14 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1266776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually, you don't need to share an account to share Prime (and you shouldn't). You can add people to your prime account if they are "family members". You go into your prime settings and send them an email through the system, once they accept they can use it. This doesn't work for Prime video though, just the original account owner can use that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266775 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 11:57:06 +0000 mrsjazz 1266775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No split membership. My husband is on my Prime account but we live in the same household. I sometimes buy things for my mom using my Prime and have it shipped to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266764 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 11:49:49 +0000 sorrycharlie 1266764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Badger: oh! so they're "unofficially" sharing? lol! I let someone have my username and pw to share kindle books as well. </p> <p>I was curious more about the "official" sharing - where it's a split membership, so you don't have to cross usernames, passwords or credit cards? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266763 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 11:48:10 +0000 Ms.Badger 1266763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's just say I know someone who's 2 daughters families and 2 sisters share the same prime account meaning there are 5 different last names and 5 different addresses and god knows how many credit cards associated with the account. The only thing necessary for this sharing is willingness to share username and password and everyone's ability to use the credit cards (this does some times lead to someone using someone else's credit card). This works great if you are kindle users cause then you can have everyone's books (this account has upwards of a dozen devices associated with it). I think amazon knows and doesn't care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sharing-amazon-prime#post-1266749 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 11:36:50 +0000 sorrycharlie 1266749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so I have heard from a few people that you can "split" Amazon Prime with other people. </p> <p>the website says it has to be household members?</p> <p>do you share Prime with anyone? how does this work? </p>
