Amazon Prime only $5.99/month for Students, EBT, Medicaid cardholders

Try Prime Discounted Monthly Offering

Has COVID-19 caused you to apply for EBT or Medicaid? It sort of has for me and I found out Amazon Prime is discounted for those of us using these programs. Amazon is almost a necessity these days since contracting COVID-19 could be as easy as going out without a mask on, not something I plan to do – but there are many more cases and deaths from it in my area. Here’s some more details on how to apply and what you get with your subscription:

EBT cards are used for government assistance programs, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Medicaid cards are issued by states to qualified recipients.

*This offer does not include Household sharing of Prime benefits. You may receive this price for up to 48 months and will need to qualify every 12 months.

EBT and Medicaid cardholders get a discount on Amazon Prime

As an Amazon Prime member, you receive a free 30-day trial that includes Free Two-Day Shipping on over 100 million items, exclusive shopping deals, and discounts on diapers and baby food. With Prime, you get access to thousands of movies, TV shows, and music to stream online or download for offline, plus unlimited access to over a thousand top Kindle books, and more! After your trial ends, customers who verify with a valid EBT or Medicaid card receive access to all Prime benefits, discounted to just $5.99 per month. Join now at amazon.com/qualify.

Actually, the Household sharing not being included is not a great thing, but since I share my account with my family – it’s not a big deal. And since you can almost buy anything on Amazon, this is a deal that’s at least worth looking into for those who qualify. In a world of better safe than sorry, online shopping is really the safest bet for those who prefer to stay healthy.

I’ve been a loyal Amazon Customer for years (and a cardholding one since 2004), so I can attest to the convenience and speed that’s only improved with their service. Their streaming video offerings aren’t bad either, though I don’t use them as much as others.
