your\u00a0household.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Would_I_Want_To_Do_This\"><\/span>Why Would I Want To Do This?<span

implies, designed for families sharing the same residence and in\u00a0a somewhat\u00a0traditional family structure (two adults and up to four children).<\/p>\n<p>The two adults in the household each get access to free Prime shipping, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Amazon-Video?tag=hotoge-20\">Amazon\u2019s Prime Video streaming service<\/a>, an unlimited <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Amazon-Photos?tag=hotoge-20\">Prime Photos account<\/a> (each household member gets their own account with private photos and albums), access to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/kindle-dbs\/hz\/bookshelf\/prime?tag=hotoge-20\">Prime Reading<\/a> (which has <em>thousands<\/em> of books), and, of particular interest to those with small children, easy management of all the child profiles attached to the primary account.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, members of the household share purchased content across accounts: if you\u2019ve bought a ton of books and your spouse has bought a ton of books, those books are no longer hostage on your separate accounts. You can share them with one another without having to buy them again. The same goes for audiobooks, movies, television shows, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s, and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s.<\/p>\n<p>In short if you already have an Amazon Prime account, there\u2019s really no good reason to not take advantage of Amazon Household and share the benefits with your family.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_You_Need_and_Special_Considerations\"><\/span>What You Need and Special Considerations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll need, of course, an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/amazonprime?tag=hotoge-20\">Amazon Prime account<\/a> to share your Amazon Prime access. The fine print, however, means Amazon Household access is not available to those of you with<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/joinstudent?tag=hotoge-20\"> discounted Student Prime accounts<\/a> (you\u2019ll need to pay the full Prime rate to get Amazon Household). Sharing is also not available if you\u2019re a guest on another person\u2019s Prime account and not the primary account holder \u2014 no surprise there, you can\u2019t share what isn\u2019t yours.<\/p>\n<p>The other adult member of your household will also need their own Amazon login and password if they don\u2019t already have one (this login, of course, doesn\u2019t need to be Prime-enabled). You do not need distinct logins for children as Amazon handles child accounts as profile-based sub-accounts of the parent\u2019s account.<\/p>\n<p>Finally there\u2019s one big consideration that really highlights how this is a service for families and not for friends, roommates, are distant relatives: when you link another adult\u2019s account to your Prime account via Amazon Household, you also link all your billing information and payment options \u2014 the other adult in your Amazon Household will have unlimited access to any and all credit cards associated with the account. As such, it\u2019s really only a viable option for spouses or other people with a shared financial situation.<\/p>\n<p>One small note before proceeding: in addition to the whole shared-credit-cards thing there is also a time restriction on creating and joining Households. Amazon is really serious about making Amazon Household really for households (and not casual sharing among friends). When you add or remove a person from your household, neither you (the Prime account holder) or they (the previous Household member) can create or join another household for 180 days.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Enable_Amazon_Household\"><\/span>How to Enable Amazon Household<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step in setting up your Amazon Household is logging into your Amazon account. If you don\u2019t know the login and password of the secondary household member (e.g. your spouse), you\u2019ll want to grab them as you\u2019ll need that information shortly. You won\u2019t need any children present as all child profiles are linked to the parent\u2019s account (unless you forgot their birthday, in which case you\u2019ll need to awkwardly call them over too).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_an_Adult\"><\/span>Adding an Adult<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Head over to the Amazon Household\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/myh\/manage?tag=hotoge-20\">Manage Your Household<\/a> page.
