Signing up for Amazon Prime is simple and can be completed on various devices like desktops, smartphones, or tablets. Here’s a clear guide to help you join Amazon Prime.
1. Visit the Amazon Website or Open the Amazon App
To start, you’ll need to go to the Amazon website or open the Amazon app on your mobile device.
-
On Desktop: Open your preferred browser and go to www.amazon.com.
-
On Mobile: Launch the Amazon app. If you don’t have it installed, you can download it from your phone’s app store (available for both iOS and Android).
2. Log Into Your Amazon Account
Before signing up for Amazon Prime, you’ll need an active Amazon account. If you already have one, simply log in using your email and password.
-
To log in: Click the “Sign in” button at the top right of the Amazon homepage or app, and enter your login details.
If you don’t yet have an Amazon account, you’ll need to create one. Click on the “Create your Amazon account” option and fill out the required details such as your name, email address, and password.
3. Find the Amazon Prime Page
Once logged in, there are several ways to access the Amazon Prime membership page:

Alternatively, you can directly search for “Amazon Prime” in the search bar.
4. Select Your Prime Plan
Amazon offers two main membership plans: Monthly and Annual.
-
Monthly Plan: Ideal for those who prefer flexibility, costing about $14.99 per month.

Annual Plan: This plan costs around $139 per year and offers a discount compared to the monthly plan.
Choose the plan that best suits your needs. If you’re not sure which one to pick, you can start with a 30-day free trial (more details below).
5. Enter Your Payment Information
After selecting your membership plan, you’ll need to input your payment details. You can use a credit or debit card, or other accepted payment methods.
Amazon also accepts Amazon Gift Cards, so you can apply your gift card balance towards your membership if applicable.
If you have an active payment method already linked to your account, Amazon will automatically use it.
