You'll get access to Prime Video, a growing catalog of streaming movies and TV shows.
Prime subscribers can stream content from Prime Video, Amazon's Netflix-like streaming service. It's mostly older shows and movies, but it has a mix of newer programming, original content, and even a back catalogue of HBO shows. Noteworthy original shows that you can't stream anywhere else include "Transparent," "The Man in the High Castle," and "Mozart in the Jungle." You also have access to movies and TV shows.
You can also add subscriptions to Showtime, Starz, and more.
Prime subscribers can add additional video services to their Prime accounts. They're not free, but some are discounted. A subscription to Showtime's standalone service, for example, is regularly $10.99 per month but Amazon discounts it to $8.99.
You'll also get access to Amazon's massive streaming music catalog.
Amazon Prime also gives you access to the company's streaming music catalog. It doesn't have the selection that Spotify or Apple Music has, but it's a great perk that's included with Prime, especially if you haven't bought into any of those premium music services that cost $10 a month.
Amazon Prime members get unlimited photo storage.
Prime members get unlimited photo storage. You can upload photos from your computer or phone and access them whenever you want.
Prime members get access to the Kindle Owner's Lending Library and Kindle First.
Amazon's lending library lets Kindle owners borrow one book per month for free. Kindle First gives Prime members early access to books before they're published, and allows members to download one title per month for free.
You'll also get early access to some deals and promotions via Amazon's websites, as well as discounts on other products.
Prime members get a 30-minute head start on Amazon's Lightning Deals and sales at the Amazon-owned deals site MyHabit.com. Prime members also get discounted diaper subscriptions through Amazon Family.
Prime members even get 20% off newly-released video games.
Prime members now not only get 20% off any new video games within the first two weeks they come out, but also on any video games they pre-order.
You'll be able to access Amazon Elements.
Prime members get access to Amazon Elements, the company's line of environmentally friendly household and baby goods. Currently, however, baby wipes are the only Elements product, as the company stopped selling its diapers last year.
Prime membership also comes with access to Prime Pantry.
Prime Pantry is a grocery and household product delivery service, though it works in a unique way: you fill a box with various products, and shipping is a flat $5.99 per box.
Prime members are eligible to apply for Amazon's Prime Store Card.
The Prime Store Card offers 5% cash back on purchases made on Amazon.com.
Prime members can get free same-day shipping (in eligible areas).
