Starting October 1, you can say goodbye to the benefits of the Prime Invitee Program. If you shared an Amazon Prime account with someone who does not live in the same house as you, you will have to open your own Prime account… or try the new Amazon Family.

A very Netflix-style move, if you ask me.

What is Amazon Family

If you are currently a Prime Invitee, you need to either ask the Prime member to add you to their Amazon Family, or sign up for your own Prime Membership after the program ends.

This means you can now share Prime benefits with one other adult in your household, up to four teens (added before April 7, 2025), and up to four child profiles.

Benefits shared include fast delivery, exclusive deals, Prime Video (with ads), Prime Reading, Amazon Music (ad-free listening on shuffle mode), among others.

You can manage your Amazon Family through the Prime Membership page.

If you’re the account holder, you can add or remove family members, including other adults, teens, and child profiles. You and your invitee must live together at the same address to share benefits, and both must agree to share payment methods.

You can remove family members at any time, and they can leave and re-join, but with a 12-month waiting period before they can join a different family.

How to set Amazon Family up

  1. Visit Your Amazon Prime Membership page.
  2. Go to Manage Your Amazon Family under the Share your Prime Benefits section.
  3. You can add an adult by sending an email invitation or signing up together to verify accounts.
  4. For child profiles, you can select Add Child.

This shift to Amazon Family gives more control over who shares your benefits and offers flexibility with content sharing settings. However, it is important to note that it will be limited to those in your household, and additional adult members will need their own Prime account.
