Amazon plans to celebrate its five Emmy wins for its original series "Transparent" by giving out a big, one-day-only discount.

On Friday, Amazon's shopping club, Prime, will cost only $67, down $32 from its usual $99 price tag.

The membership gives customers two-day, free shipping on tens of millions of items, as well as access to tens of thousands of free TV shows, movies, music, and books. It includes unlimited cloud storage for photos, too.

It's also arguably one of the company's most important initiatives: Prime members may spend more than double on the site per year than non-members do, according to an analysis from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners in January.

All of the non-shopping perks on Amazon Prime - like the video and music streaming or the cloud storage - basically just exist to make Prime a better deal, so the company can ensnare more power-shoppers. So, if you decide to snap up the deal on Friday, Amazon's betting it will make its $32 back on you no problem.

CEO Jeff Bezos has put it bluntly in the past when talking about "Transparent," saying that Amazon's the first company to use a Golden Globe to sell toilet paper. Looks like he can now add "the first company to use an Emmy to sell toilet paper" too.

"Transparent" stars Jeffrey Tambor as a transgender woman who comes out to her three kids

The sale starts Friday a 12:00 a.m. ET and ends at 11:59 p.m. PT, and you can sign up here.
