How to get Amazon Prime membership for free – but there’s a catch | The Sun

AMAZON Prime Day is back, offering two days of exclusive deals on a range of goods including tech, homeware, toys and beauty.

The 48-hour flash sale started today and finishes tomorrow – but you'll need a Prime account to access the offers.

Amazon Prime accounts not only give you access to Prime Day deals, you can get same-day delivery, access to Amazon Prime Video and food shopping.

Membership normally costs £8.99 a month or £95 a year, while student membership fees are £4.49 a month or £47.49 per year.

It used to cost £7.99 a month but Amazon hiked its prices in July.

A spokesperson at the time said it was due to increased inflation and operating costs in the UK continuing to rise.

It came after Netflix increased the price of its most popular package by £2 to £10.99 and its basic plan, which is just one screen and one device, by £1 to £6.99.

However, if you want to make the most of Prime Day deals without forking out on a membership there is one way around it.

Amazon Prime customers get a 30-day free trial when they sign up.

After that period, you will start being charged the full price for the membership.
