Spectrum Offers Free Amazon Prime to Eligible Internet Customers
Spectrum has partnered with Amazon to offer Amazon Prime at no additional cost to eligible Spectrum Internet customers.
The benefit is available to new and existing customers who qualify for Spectrum Internet Assist, Spectrum’s discounted internet program for eligible low-income households. Spectrum says qualifying customers can be subscribed to any Spectrum Internet tier and still receive the Prime benefit.
Who Qualifies?
To receive the free Prime membership, you must currently qualify for Spectrum Internet Assist.
Spectrum says eligible customers can be:
- New or existing Spectrum customers
- On any Spectrum Internet tier
- New or existing Amazon Prime members
Spectrum Internet Assist itself offers internet speeds of up to 50 Mbps for qualifying households, but customers who qualify for the program do not necessarily need to be subscribed to that specific tier to get the Prime benefit. You can see more details here.
How to Activate Free Amazon Prime
Eligible customers can activate the benefit by:
- Going to Spectrum.net/Prime and signing in.
- Clicking Get Started.
- Signing in to an existing Amazon account or creating a new one.
- Completing the activation process through Amazon.
Once activated, members receive the normal Amazon Prime benefits, including fast free shipping, Prime Video, shopping deals and other Prime perks.
Customers who already pay directly for Amazon Prime can transition their membership to the Spectrum-included benefit.
If your Prime membership is currently provided through another third party, Spectrum says you may first need to cancel that membership before activating Prime through Spectrum.
Guru’s Wrap-Up
This is a pretty valuable new Spectrum benefit for anyone who qualifies for Spectrum Internet Assist. And the good thing is that existing Prime members are also elgiible. If you qualify, you can move your current Prime membership over to the Spectrum benefit and stop paying separately.
