What is an Amazon Household?

Previously, you lot could share Amazon Prime number with practically whatever of your friends and family. Merely Amazon cracked down on this back in 2015, likely because it was being abused and overshared. Sharing was always intended to mean shared with members of your family living inside the same house, but in that location were few limitations to enforce that.

Now Amazon calls its sharing Prime membership benefit an Amazon Household. Your Household can stretch to one other developed, 4 teens and iv children. The catch is that yous take to enable shared payment methods between the 2 adults in order to share all the available benefits.

Second-developed benefits

After linking a second developed account, you can share existing purchased digital content between the two accounts, such equally apps and games, audiobooks and east-books. The second adult also gets access to:

Prime Shipping
Prime Now
AmazonFresh (if the main business relationship has that add-on)
Prime Video
Prime Photos Family Vault
Audible Channels
Kindle Owners' Lending Library
Amazon First Reads
Prime Early Access
Prime member discounts on Amazon Music Unlimited and Kindle FreeTime Unlimited
Upward to 20 percent off subscriptions on diapers, baby food and other products
2 pct rewards when reloading an Amazon Gift Card remainder

Teen benefits

When you add together a teen (13 to 17 years one-time) to your account, the teen gets a split Amazon login. The shared benefits are not nearly as all-encompassing as with an developed account.

Teens in a Household will be able to create orders that have Prime number Aircraft, but the order has to be approved past an adult on the account before information technology's finalized. The adults on the account can cull to share Prime Aircraft, Prime Video and Twitch Prime with the teens on the account.

Child benefits

Adding a child (12 and younger) to your Prime Household is more about parental controls than annihilation else. Kid accounts don't accept access to shopping, but they can view digital content that has been allowed by the adult accounts through Kindle FreeTime.

Adults tin set parental controls for children accounts for Fire tablets, Kindles and Fire TV ($forty at Amazon).
