No more Prime shipping perks outside your family (Updated: Amazon statement)
- Amazon will shut down the Prime Invitee program on October 1.
- Free Prime shipping perks can only be shared with people at the same address via Amazon Family.
- Invitees outside your household will need their own Prime membership going forward.
Update: September 2, 2025 (10:56 PM ET): An Amazon spokesperson has contacted Android Authority with an official statement on the matter. Here’s what they had to say:
The Invitee program, which enabled sharing of the Prime shipping benefit only, is being phased out, and Prime members can instead share a broad range of Prime benefits with Amazon Family, including: fast, free delivery; access to exclusive deals and shopping events like Prime Day; movies, series, and live sports with Prime Video; Amazon Music and additional digital entertainment; access to a free Grubhub+ membership; and fuel savings at more than 7,500 bp, Amoco, and participating ampm locations. Amazon Family enables Prime members to share a range of benefits with one adult—whether that is a spouse, family member, or roommate—and Prime Video and additional digital content like Kindle eBooks, audiobooks, and games, with up to four children in their household.
