Give someone an Amazon Prime Membership as a gift
If you’re a regular Amazon customer you’ve probably signed up as a Prime member in order to take advantage of all the awesome benefits that come with it.
But did you know you can actually give someone else a Prime Membership as a gift?
It’s true, and it’s very easy to do. Simply add a “Gift of Prime” to your Amazon cart.
At checkout you’ll enter the recipient’s email address and the date on which you want to recipient to be notified of the gift.
On the date you select the recipient will receive an email from Amazon letting them know that you have given them a “Gift of Prime” membership along with instructions for activating it.
