# Amazon Prime Trial Membership

[![screenshot_143](https://bookwi.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/screenshot_143.png)](http://www.amazon.com/gp/prime/signup/videos?tag=mrshiecom-20)From now until January 10 Amazon is having a promotion for Amazon Affiliates (like me). If you are unaware, any purchase that you make after having clicked through on of Bookwi.se links (whether it is what I liked to or not) gives Bookwi.se 4 to 10% depending on what you buy and how many other referals that resulted in a purchase earlier that month. (I disclosed [Bookwi.se income and expenses in this post](https://bookwi.se/2013-income/ ).)

I personally have been an Amazon Prime member for just over 2 years now. In addition to being a replacement for Netflix for me (which would be $8 a month), I also can borrow one book a month from the [Kindle lending library](https://bookwi.se/borrowing-book-amazon-prime-lending-library/). I do not borrow a book every month, but I borrowed about 7 or 8 books this year. Also starting last month Amazon allows Prime members to purchase (for free) [one of four pre-release books](https://bookwi.se/december-kindle-first-books/) each month through the Kindle First program.

The main benefit is free 2 day shipping on almost any purchase from Amazon and discounted one day shipping. I work from home and order quite a bit from Amazon so this has really made sense for our our household.

Normally if you [sign up for Amazon Prime trial membership](http://www.amazon.com/gp/prime/signup/videos?tag=mrshiecom-20) (whether you cancel after the free month or not) Bookwi.se would get a $2 referral fee. But during this promotional period Affiliates get $10 per referral. If you have had any interest in Amazon Prime, this would be a great time to try it and to [support Bookwi.se](http://www.amazon.com/gp/prime/signup/videos?tag=mrshiecom-20).
