How to sign up for a free Prime membership trial

Whether you’re thinking of joining Prime, or you’ve been with us for a while, it’s important to know how to maximise your membership.

  • Step 1: Go to Amazon's website. Once you have arrived at the homepage, locate the section that says "Hello, Sign in.” Click on it, and it'll take you to the sign-in page. If you don't already have an Amazon account, you can create one by clicking on the "Create your Amazon account" button.
  • Step 2: After you've created an Amazon account, you'll be taken to the homepage once again. Look for the "Try Prime" button in the top left corner of the website. Click on it and choose the membership plan that suits you the best. Keep in mind that you are signing up for a free 30-day trial, so you won't have to pay anything for now.
  • Step 3: Amazon requires you to provide your payment details when you sign up for the free trial, in case you decide to continue on with your membership after trial ends. You will not be charged anything if you cancel the membership before the trial period ends.
  • Step 4: Once you've completed all the steps, you're now ready to enjoy your free 30-day Prime membership. You'll have access to benefits like fast, free deliver, shopping deals and discounts, an extensive library of digital entertainment content.
  • Step 5: Decide if you want to continue with this one-of-a-kind membership. Prime is savings, convenience, and entertainment at one low monthly cost—so we’re fairly sure you’ll enjoy it. But if, for one reason or another, you decide to cancel your membership, you can cancel at any time during the trial period. To cancel your membership, go to the "Manage Prime Membership" section in your account and click on "End Trial and Benefits."
If you need to cancel your Prime membership, it’s easy—but here’s what you’ll miss.

But before you go, check out why we think you should reconsider cancelling your Prime membership.
