Amazon Canada has introduced a monthly membership option for its Prime members. For $7.99 per month, Prime members in Canada now have an option to subscribe to the monthly membership instead of the existing annual membership of $79.
This is another move by Amazon to strengthen its foothold in Canada, as the company has shown an interest in Vancouver specifically, with building a new headquarters and subsequently creating 3,000 jobs for the city.
“Prime brings together the best of entertainment and shopping into a simple package at an unbelievable value for Canadians. With the launch of a monthly membership, we have added yet another easy way to enjoy Prime benefits,” said Mike Strauch, country manager for Amazon Canada.
Prime in Canada comes with various benefits such as:
- Prime Video gives you unlimited access to award-winning movies and TV shows including exclusive content like Man in the High Castle, The Grand Tour, and Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan – available to stream right away on your smart TV, tablet or phone.
- Prime Music gives you access to over 1 million songs
- Prime Photos and Amazon Drive gives you unlimited photo storage
- Twitch Prime gives you free games
- 30-minute early access to select Lightning Deals
- Discounts compliments of Amazon family
- Access to various fast, free shipping options such as Free Two-Day Shipping on millions of items
- Prime Free Same-Day Delivery in Toronto and Vancouver
- Prime Free One-Day Delivery in over 6 cities
Although, $7.99 per month amounts to almost $96 per year, which is $17 more than the yearly fee, the option to pay per month gives you the flexibility to cancel your membership at any time and renew it whenever you want.
