The holy trinity of free Amazon subscriptions during Prime Day
The money Prime members can save during Prime Day doesn't max out at discounts on hundreds of items, or a half-priced Grubhub order. There are also several free Prime Day deals to take advantage of, mostly in the form of free Amazon subscriptions. Whether you're more of a music listener or reader or both, it's literally free entertainment for a few months. Here are the details — note that you need to be a new subscriber to take advantage of the deals.
Free Amazon Music Unlimited deal
Any time Amazon gives away free months of Amazon Music Unlimited, we suggest the same hack: Deal with the change in interface for a second and pause your Spotify or Apple Music subscription for a little bit. This Prime Day deal gets you four free months of Amazon Music Unlimited, which would save Spotify users $47.96 ($11.99/month) or Apple Music listeners $43.96 across ($10.99/month) across four months. The Amazon Music Unlimited library probably has every single song and artist you care about, and also offers high quality audio options. One free audiobook per month is also included.
Free Kindle Unlimited deal
We'll be the first ones to tell you that using Libby to find free Kindle books goes a long way. But the variety that comes with an actual Kindle Unlimited subscription is hard to pass up — especially when that's also free. For Prime Day, Amazon is giving Prime members three free months of Kindle Unlimited, which usually costs $11.99 per month. Kindle Unlimited unlocks truly unlimited access to over four million book titles on any device, plus select audiobooks.
Free Amazon Audible deal
Audible members get access to a slightly different variety of titles than Kindle Unlimited users do. Audible allows users to choose one audiobook per month — like, pretty much any book, including bestsellers and new releases that wouldn't be an option through Kindle Unlimited. You get to keep your audiobooks, too, even if you cancel the membership after the free window is up.
