While I think an Amazon Prime membership is totally worth it, I’m always trying to find ways to cut down costs where I can. After all, it’ll cost you $139 a year or $14.99 a month. I’ve talked about Amazon employee discounts along with Prime Student, but I wanted to dig into discounts for seniors. Here’s what I found: there isn’t an official Amazon Prime senior discount. But l do know a way seniors can save up to 50% on the cost of their Amazon Prime membership. Seniors can also receive special benefits. You just gotta know that there’s an eligibility factor, so these tips might not work for everyone. This is more of a "create your own Amazon Prime senior discount" tutorial. Let’s talk more about it below. Also, make sure to check out our comprehensive list of other senior discounts and all the best AARP discounts.

1. On Medicaid? Get an Amazon Prime membership for only $6.99 per month. While there is no official Amazon Prime senior discount, Amazon has a discounted membership called Prime Access. With Prime Access, you’d only have to pay $6.99 a month versus the regular $14.99 a month. You can qualify for the program if you’re on Medicaid or any other qualifying government assistance program. 1. Visit Amazon’s Prime Access application page. 2. Enter your EBT number and state it was issued. 3. Upload a photo of your eligibility card or eligibility letter. 2. Use your SNAP card to shop for food on Amazon. Again, this isn’t technically an Amazon Prime senior discount, but it’s worth mentioning if you receive SNAP benefits (aka food stamps). After 2020, you could start using your SNAP benefits online, including on Amazon. I’m talking fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. This also includes bread, cereals, canned vegetables, and other pantry items. Really, anything you might be able to get at your local grocery store with your SNAP card is probably fair game with Amazon grocery shopping too. Just look for the "SNAP EBT Eligible" label when you’re shopping. 3. Try Amazon Prime free for 30 days before you pay a dime. Of course, this applies to anyone signing up for Prime for the first time, including seniors. You can use it for 30 days and cancel before your trial is over to see if you use it enough to justify the cost. 4. Is there an Amazon Prime AARP discount? Unfortunately, no. Amazon offers the Prime Access discount for anyone on government assistance, along with an Amazon Student Discount, but no specific AARP discount.

Once upon a time, Amazon Prime Day was only once a year, usually in July, but the deals never stop, so why limit ourselves to one sales event? That was obviously Amazon's thinking when they announced the Prime Early Access Sale a few weeks ago, after months of rumors that the e-Commerce colossus was doubling up on Prime Day shopping holidays - with this also serving as an unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season. That's right, folks, "early Black Friday deals" start this week, because why wait for Halloween to be over? Amazon Prime Early Access Sale runs October 11-12 in 15 countries, and as we hunker down for a veritable tsunami of deals, we have our eyes peeled and our keyboards ready. As we seek out the best deals on the best wireless earbuds - almost every bud on that list was discounted back in July - smart home devices, tablets, Chromebooks, and, of course, sales on the best Android phones, flagship and mid-range alike, we're balancing past deals, current values, Amazon Deals and changes in the market to ensure you get only the best discounts on the products you want.
We're already seeing some sales alive and kicking for Amazon devices - Kindle e-readers, Fire TVs, Echo speakers and beyond - and we'll be keeping this live blog updated throughout the next 48 hours as deals live, die, and (in some cases) live again. The Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook was almost too good to be true at $280, and alas it has sold out, but there are a handful of other Chromebook deals to take advantage of before their prices turn back into pumpkins at 3AM. Among Acer's superb Chromebook lineup, the Acer Chromebook Spin 514 (3H) is just below the premium titans like the Spin 714 and the now-discontinued Spin 713 (rest in peace, my lovely). When I went hands on with it hands-on with it back in May, it showed a lot of promise with its Ryzen chipset, up-firing speakers - something Acer still hasn't made standard for Sales some unknowable reason - and long-lasting battery, and tonight's deal from Best Buy helps it stand out from the pack.
Even if all you need in a watch is for it to look pretty and show your notifications, the Pixel Watch is $350 and you're stuck with Google's proprietary bands for the time being, while you can grab the 40mm Galaxy Watch 4 for $150 and then use it with any 20mm watch band you'd like. I have about 20 bands I swap between on mine depending on my wardrobe, mood, and the time of year. 150 from AmazonAmazon only has the Silver 40mm model down to $150, but you can get the Black 44mm model for $170 off at Best Buy - the larger size has been $30 more expensive, so you get an extra $10 off here. While the Galaxy Watch 4 comes with a magnetic charging puck, it's not very sexy. For a better way to charge both your Galaxy Watch 4 and your smartphone, Samsung's latest version of the Duo wireless charger is down to $50. It'll charge the latest Samsung Galaxy smartphones at up to 15W, but it also supports standard Qi for your Pixel, your wife's iPhone, or whichever wireless charging phone you're rocking.
