Get the Amazon Prime Discount for Customers Who Receive US Government Assistance
Amazon offers a 45-percent discount on Prime memberships, $5.99 a month instead of $10.99 month, to U.S. residents receiving government assistance: WIC, TANF, SNAP (Food Stamps.) You must have an EBT card. The best part is, if you are already a prime member with an EBT card you can take advantage of the discount right away.
