Amazon verifies your eligibility using your name and date of birth, along with discharge date if not on active duty. Although I no longer see any way to share your Prime membership with non-family members (that appears to have ended in September), you can share with one other adult in your household (providing you don’t mind having access to each other’s payment methods) and set up accounts with teens and children, giving them each slightly different access to your account and prime benefits. If you currently share a membership with a Veteran, I don’t know if having the Veteran sign up will extend the date of both members, but it is worth a shot (and if it doesn’t, usually a call to Amazon support will get things worked out in your favor). Prime benefits you can share Free Prime Delivery benefits Streaming access to Prime Video Free books with Prime Reading Earn 2% rewards on Prime Reload Amazon Photos and album sharing Free books with Amazon First Reads Unlimited listening on Audible Channels Early access to Amazon Lightning Deals Digital content you can share through Family Library Share eBooks, audiobooks, apps and games on your Kindle and other Amazon devices and media apps Access digital content from both adult accounts and share with up to four child profiles Teens (13-17 years old) Teen logins allow teens to shop on their own and parents approve the order with a simple text. Teens may also access certain Prime benefits if their parents are a Prime member. Teen logins are not currently supported on Kindle Children (12 and under) Parents can add children to a Household to manage parental controls on Fire tablets and Kindle e-readers through Kindle FreeTime. Personalize each child’s experience by selecting what content they are able to see, and set educational goals and time limits. Children can access digital content that their parent allows on their child’s device but are not enabled to shop.
