Forget Discounts! Here's All the FREE Stuff You Can Snag Before Prime Day Ends

Amazon Prime Day swirls around us like a twister of savings, bombarding us with massive price drops on all sorts of products. Many of the deals are exclusive to Prime customers, Amazon's paid membership program. Introduced in 2005, Prime has swiftly become a keystone of the company's business, with over 200 million subscribers worldwide. Originally created as a way to get free two-day shipping on orders, the company has added benefits at a breakneck pace, and you might not even know what it makes you eligible for.

There are dozens of free Prime benefits that come with your membership. Some are obvious, like free shipping and early access to discounts. Some are not, like free Grubhub+ and delivery inside your garage with Amazon Key. And some are absolutely wild, like free access to millions of e-books. Here are five of the best deals and offers that prove Amazon Prime is worth your $139 a year.

Amazon Prime Gaming

Three free titles with a subscription and more to come

at Amazon

Get Deal

One of the lesser-known advantages of a Prime subscription is access to Prime Gaming, Amazon's digital store and cloud gaming service. Not only can you purchase downloadable versions of titles, you can play them for free online via Luna, the company's streaming games service. This is included in the base Prime subscription, so click through to activate it now. As an extra bonus, Amazon is giving away a trio of free games: Rise of the Tomb Raider, Chivalry II, and Suicide Squad. You need to claim them before Prime Day comes to an end, though, so act fast.

Amazon Music Unlimited

Get Deal

Yes, Amazon has its own music streaming service, and right now, you can get up to five months free. Prime members can commit to a subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited by midnight on Wednesday, July 17 and pay nothing for a wide selection of ad-free music and podcasts with HD spatial audio and high quality. In our review of Amazon Music Unlimited, we said that the platform "offers an impressive library of music, a deep well of podcasts, hi-res audio, and clever discovery and AI innovations," and gave it an Editors' Choice award.

Amazon Kindle Unlimited

Read as many books as you can and don't pay a dime

at Amazon

Get Deal

Amazon got its start selling books, so it's good to know that literacy is still a part of its value proposition. Kindle Unlimited is the company's e-book subscription service, giving you access to a flabbergasting amount of published material for one low monthly price. The normal $11.99 subscription is cheaper than buying a book a month, but during Prime Day you can sign up for three free months before they start billing you. You get access to over 4 million digital titles, audiobooks, magazine subscriptions, and more.
