YOUR Amazon Prime membership is stuffed with hidden perks that are easy to miss – including cheap movie tickets and free video games.
If you’re already paying the £8.99 for deliveries and telly every month, you should see what else you can claim. They could be worth well over £162 a year.
CHEAP MOVIE TICKETS
Movie fans can snap up heavily discounted tickets at Odeon cinemas.
You can bag a pair of of tickets for just £10 with an Amazon Prime membership.
Or you can get two “recliner tickets” at posher Odeon Luxe screenings for £15.
The offer works Monday through Thursday, but you can only claim it once a month.
To redeem it, go to Amazon’s Odeon offer page, copy the code, and then use it within 30 minutes.
Just apply the code during checkout on the Odeon website (after you’ve selected a movie and seat).
FREE VIDEO GAMES
If you’re at all into video games, you’ll want to check out Prime Gaming.
It serves up totally free games that you can download and keep.
And you’ll also be able to pick up some in-game freebies too.
Many of the freebies rotate, so there’s always something new to look out for each month.
And as a bonus perk, Amazon Prime also gets you a monthly channel subscription to use on Twitch (which is owned by Amazon).
That’s normally £4.99, so you’re getting around £60 of free Twitch subscriptions per year with this offer.
Amazon lists all of the currently-available freebies on its Prime Gaming page here.
FREE MUSIC
This one will be music to your ears: free tunes with Amazon Prime.
The standard Amazon Music Prime service costs nothing on top of your Prime membership.
There’s a premium paid-for service that lets you choose specific tracks “on-demand” called Music Unlimited.
But if you just want free tracks and podcasts, Amazon Music has you covered.
It’s also ad-free, which is a nice perk – especially as Spotify‘s own free tier includes ads.

DELIVEROO PLUS SILVER
For often-hungry Amazon Prime members, the Deliveroo Plus Silver perk is a great option.
You can bag a free year-long membership just for having Amazon Prime.
This gets you free delivery on eligible orders over £15 – or over £25 from an “extensive list of stores”.
You’ll need to sign up or log into Deliveroo, then link your Amazon Prime account in the app.
This should automatically upgrade your Deliveroo account to Plus Silver membership.
You can use this link to claim the deal.
It’d usually cost you £3.49 a month – that’s just under £42 a year.
HELLOFRESH SHIPPING DISCOUNT
If your hunger still isn’t sated, you can get even more discounted grub via HelloFresh.
The company ships out recipe boxes stuffed with ingredients that you can cook up at home.
With Amazon Prime, you’ll be able to bag free shipping on any HelloFresh recipe box orders for a year.
The perk is called Free HelloFresh Shipping, and you can redeem it here.
Normally that would cost you £4.99 per box, so that’s £60 saved if you ordered one per month for a year.
FREE PHOTO STORAGE
Finally, there’s a thrifty photo-storage option for Prime members too.
It’s great if you’ve got endless snaps but you don’t want to pay for pricey cloud storage.
With Amazon Photos, Prime members can store an unlimited number of full-res photos.
And you’ll also get an extra 5GB of space for videos.
They’ll be hosted in the cloud so you can access them on any device, and from anywhere.
And you can also share them with family or friends if you like.
Just download the Amazon Photos app, log in with your Amazon Prime account, and start backing up those precious pics.
