Perks and Ultimate Benefits of Amazon Prime Loyalty Program


Amazon Prime program is not only popular for its free shipping but has other perks for customers as well.
Amazon Inc. has one of the best, if not the best, customer loyalty program in the retail industry. The company’s Prime program offers unlimited perks to its members but it is not only limited to free shipping. Many members and non-members boast about the free shipping, which actually is the best feature if anyone shops online. There might be many online retailers for the customers to shop at but many customers look free shipping.
The luxurious brands and online retailers normally offer free shipping if a user exceeds minimum buy amount. For instance, Amazon has raised the amount to $50 if a customer wishes to avail the free delivery but for Amazon Prime members, there is no minimum amount whatsoever.
For $99 per year, the online retailer offers its customers free delivery, early access to its lightning deals, and other amazing discounts on the platform. It is not only about the free delivery for which the Prime program is so successful and for which it has proved to be a major revenue stream.
Many infamous advantages contribute to Prime’s greatness. The price at which the company is selling out the membership is a great deal if someone is looking for online shopping with benefits along with entertainment.
With free shipping option, Amazon Prime offers its customers with free same day shipping service and free two day shipping on all orders if they are looking to receive packages as soon as possible. At this moment, the same day delivery is available to customers living in Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle/Tacoma, Tampa Bay Area, and Washington, D.C. The company expects to add a few more names to the list in the near future.
The loyalty program offers free access to audio and video streaming services. Amazon Prime Video is one of the fastest growing aspects of the Prime membership, which is also directly competing against companies in streaming industry, such as Netflix and Hulu. It has also hopped on the original programming bandwagon and has produced a couple of hit shows.
Recently, Amazon announced a mega deal with TV networks such as Showtime and Starz. In the deal, members who have access to Prime Video will have the option to subscribe to these premium channels at a discounted rate. The company would add more premium networks and channels on its list soon.
On the other hand, Amazon Music has proved to be a great deal for the Prime members as well. For users who do not have subscription to the likes of Spotify or Tidal but are subscribed to the Prime membership, it is a cost effective alternative for them. The music library is not as advanced as other audio streaming giants but it surely good enough to pass their time.
