You already know Amazon Prime comes with free two-day shipping—but that’s just scratching the surface. In 2025, Prime membership offers far more than fast deliveries, and many perks are tailor-made for people over 50 who want to save money, enjoy convenience, and get more from their membership.
Whether you’ve been a Prime member for years or you’re just getting started, this guide reveals the lesser-known benefits seniors can take advantage of—some of which you might already be paying for elsewhere.
