Amazon is hosting its huge Prime Day deals event this week (July 16 to 17) – if you want to get in on the action, you need to be a Prime subscriber. Luckily there’s a free trial available, and below we’ll show you how to get in on the action without spending a penny.
As Prime Day starts on July 16, you’re likely already eagerly anticipating the upcoming savings. If you haven’t signed up to Amazon Prime in the past year then you’ll be eligible for a 30-day free trial, which will take you through the Prime Day deals.
Keep reading to learn how to get a free trial of Amazon Prime in time forPrime Day.
Sign up to Amazon Prime
Want to enjoy free next-day delivery and access to Prime Video? You can sign up to a month of Amazon Prime right now for no cost whatsoever.
What you’ll need:
The short version:
Step1
Go to the Amazon Prime site
The quickest and easiest way to access Amazon Prime is to go directly to the dedicated webpage:www.amazon.co.uk/amazonprime
Step2
Select Try Prime
If you are not logged in you should see Try Prime, as shown in the accompanying image. If you are logged in then instead you’ll see Start your 30-day free trial. If you see the latter then you can skip the next step and go straight to step four.
Step3
Log into your account or create an account
If you haven’t logged in or don’t have an Amazon account then follow the instructions on screen.
Step4
Add your card information
Even if you are eligible for a 30-day free trial, you will need to add your card information to your account as Amazon will automatically bill you once your trial period is over. You can cancel your trial before this so you don’t incur any costs.
Step5
Click Continue
Once you’ve added your card details then select Continue.
Step6
Select Try Prime free for 30-days
Review all the information you’ve provided and, if you’re happy, select Try Prime free for 30-days. If instead there’s only an option to subscribe to Prime and start paying straight away, then this shows you aren’t eligible for a free trial, so be wary of accidentally spending.
Troubleshooting
If it isn’t instantly clear, as seen in the steps above, then this could mean that you aren’t eligible for a free trial. This is usually because you have already had a free trial in the last year.
You can pay for Amazon Prime either monthly or annually. Monthly starts at £8.99/$14.99/€8.99 and annually is £95/$139/€89.90.
Aside from access to Prime Day, Amazon Prime has numerous other perks too. Firstly you can benefit from free next-day delivery on all orders. Also included is access to Prime Video, Prime Music and Prime Reading and free access to Deliveroo Silver.
