Music streaming services can seriously drain your budget. However, Prime members might be surprised to discover that they have plenty of tunes included in their subscription.

“Again, most people don’t know this, but Prime membership comes with free access to over 100 million songs on Prime Music ,” Bodge says. In addition to ad-free music, you also get access to top podcasts without commercials.

Love video games? Access to Prime Gaming is just another one of the perks that come with your membership.

“Just by being a Prime member, you can get your hands on exclusive in-game loot and free monthly PC games,” says Ramhold. “It also includes a free monthly Twitch subscription that you can use to support your favorite streamers.”

According to Ramhold, your Prime membership can alert you to upcoming sales and specials ahead of other customers. However, it might take some extra equipment to get the full benefit.

“You’ll need a newer Echo device in order to take advantage of this perk, so you may want to watch for device deals around Prime Day if you have older models,” she says. “But once you have them, you can essentially set up alerts so that Alexa will inform you of upcoming deals on products that you want to track.”

Whether you’re taking your first step into parenthood or adding another member to the family, having a baby is an expensive endeavor. A Prime membership can also help here.

“Select members can get a free welcome box when you create a baby registry for more than 10 unique items and make $10 worth of purchases,” explains Bodge.

She advises reading the fine print, though: Shipping and tax don’t count towards the amount, nor do gift card purchases.
