Withthe exclusive Prime Day sale and third season of Clarkson’s Farmin the rearview mirror, you might be thinking about canning your Amazon Prime subscription.


At £8.99 per month, it’s one of the pricier subscriptions on the market, especially when compared with the likes of Netflix and Disney+, which both start from just £4.99 a month. Of course, while exclusive boxsets like The Boys, The Grand Tour, and Fallout are big draws, Amazon Prime doesn’t just compete with streaming services.

The loyalty scheme includes a slew of other bonuses, like unlimited next-day delivery on thousands of items from Amazon, cloud backup via Amazon Photos, free PC games to download and keep, a rotating selection of Kindle eBooks to read each month, and much more.

If you signed up for a 30-day free trial to unlock access to the best Prime Day deals, you’ll need to cancel the subscription very soon to avoid being charged a rolling one-month subscription for membership. But two of the most recent perks for Prime users might convince you to hold fire on hitting the “Cancel” button.

At the end of last year, Amazon teamed up with ODEON to offer a pair of cinema tickets for £10 at multiplexes nationwide. The offer is exclusive to Amazon Prime members and remains available to this day.

Launched as part of the annual Prime Day sale, the exclusive three-month free trial for Prime members is still available until July 31

For a limited time, you’ll be able to pick any three audiobooks from Audible to download and keep forever, even if you later cancel your subscription to the service.

Not only that, but you’ll also be able to listen to exclusive podcasts and Audible shows, like Stephen Fry’s Victorian Secrets, Sleep Sound With Jamie Dornan, French and Saunders Titting About, Derren Brown’s Boot Camp For The Brain, as well as audio documentaries like Chasing Ghislaine and Countered Terrorism.

Audible has one of the largest collections of audiobooks, as well as a growing number of exclusive shows and ad-free podcasts, on offer for its monthly subscribers

AUDIBLE PRESS OFFICE

If you’re enjoying House of the Dragonon Sky TV at the moment, then the book that it’s based on, Fire and Blood is available as an audiobook. Exclusive to the audio edition, you’ll be able to enjoy an interview between Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin and historian Dan Jones.

Audible usually costs £7.99 per month, so you’ll save a massive £22.98 over the three months.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

The last time Audible dropped in price was during the annual Black Friday sales in November 2023. However, it was discounted to £2.99 for 3 months — making this latest promotion a much better offer.

There are roughly 200 million Amazon Prime members around the world.
