Thanks to Amazon Prime, among other things, you will receive your orders free of charge and faster. In this practical tip, we clarify whether and how you can give away the subscription and thus give your friends access to all Prime features.

Gift Amazon Prime to friends

Amazon Prime offers a wealth of advantages. Among other things, you have access to the Amazon streaming service, can borrow eBooks or use free deliveries. All of this currently costs 69 euros a year.

• In the United States, you have been able to give the Prime service to friends and relatives directly via Amazon since 2013. However, this does not work in Germany.
• Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided by buying and giving away a voucher card in the Amazon Store. The credit cannot be used for the Prime subscription.
• It is still unclear whether Amazon will change this in the near future. Until then, there is only the possibility to directly give the recipient the gift, which the recipient then invests in Amazon Prime.
• Alternatively, you can share your own Prime membership. This means that your friends can use all Prime Services via your account without having to pay extra. The only restriction: the account can only be shared with other people in the same household.
