You can share Prime with someone. I have my DD on my free shipping. She uses her home address and account, not mine. I get enough cash back from using Amazon Visa card to more then pay for Prime each year. On Amazon page click on Prime and there is a listing of all the benefits. I have had Prime since it was available. If it's cheaper on Amazon I buy it, even groceries.

I use it and it definitely saves me $$$. Shopping, free movies and free kindle books are the parts that I use. I'm a heavy internet shopper so it pays for itself just by that. The convenience of movies and books is just icing on the cake. Its 99 per year but they do have a monthly 11.00 option which I used to see if it was worth it to me. Then I converted to the yearly rate. Every so often they send what's on prime and you can load up your cart with movies etc and when I hit the sewing room they are all waiting for me in my cart. Worth it for me. I don't have a smart tv I use it with my Roku. PM me if you feel so inclined.

My daughter shops a lot (she started with all the college textbooks). Her sister, myself and her stepmother are all listed on her prime account. So we all qualify for the shipping discounts and the movie privileges. I buy quite a few items for my projects and getting them quickly is an advantage. Her sister doesn't have cable tv, so the availability of shows is good for her. So, even with the recent price increase, we feel it is a good deal for us. I'm not sure it would be worthwhile if it was just for one person.

I use my prime, but here lately everything I order is covered under my prime. I am really disappointed.

Guess it might be an option for me to sign up and see if my DIL would want to be under it as well.
Lots to ponder and will go look to see the list of what Prime offers.
Thank you for the input so far.

I use the monthly Prime subscription it's $10.99 a month. I know one can save by paying $99 upfront and be done. But, this works out better for us.

Amazon prime includes access to tons of movies and tv shows as part of the membership. You also have access to all kinds of music. You just stream them through your Roku for the tv and movies. For the music I stream that through Alexa but I think you could stream the music through your computer or possibly your Roku as well. So far everything I've wanted to listen to has been available and it sure is cheaper than buying from iTunes. I've listened to tons of jazz, classical music, blues, 1950s, 60s and 70s rock n roll, world music, folk music, you name it, they've got it.

I love having Amazon prime. For a $99 per year you get all that and free 2 day shipping on anything you buy. For me it's well worth the yearly fee. But the thing that makes it worthwhile for me is that I watch the tv shows, movies, listen to music, and also buy things like art supplies and office supplies, and even some grocery items like tea, trash bags, etc. from them, so I definitely get my money's worth.

if you only order books from them and don't want access to their movies and music, you could always wait until you've got enough items to get their free shipping. That's what I used to do before they created prime.

I enjoy Prime primarily for the free shipping. I order all types of things (household items, cosmetics/toiletries, books, gifts, etc.). We haven't watched too many movies or shows on it (couldn't find much that we were interested in). I saves me time and gas money running around running errands.

I bought a quilting book on Amazon, and I THINK I accidentally signed up for Prime because I'm getting all sorts of emails about it. Now I'm not sure to jump on board and go for it. Is it easy to cancel? My daughter has it, loves it, but has not offered to share it. I didn't know that could be done. Is that something Amazon knows about?

I went and did it, I signed up so I could get my human powered grain mill and some grains. Do not know anything about how to watch a movie but will give Prime a try. At least I can cancel anytime I wish but really need to find out more.
Thank you for the good 'reviews'.
