Amazon Prime
This membership unlocks exclusive discounts on shopping, movies, music—and even gas!
What is Amazon Prime?
Amazon Prime is a subscription service from Amazon that offers members various benefits across shipping, shopping and streaming.
The most notable Prime membership benefits include fast, free shipping on Amazon orders and access to Prime Video, which features a large selection of movies and TV shows. For entertainment lovers, Prime also includes ad-free music streaming, a digital library for books and magazines, and unlimited photo storage.
A Prime membership also unlocks exclusive access to Lightning Deals and major sales events like Prime Day. There are also lesser-known perks, such as Whole Foods discounts, free GrubHub+ and fuel savings.
What are Amazon fuel savings?
Amazon Prime members can unlock fuel savings through Amazon’s partnership with select gas stations, including BP, Amoco, and participating AMPM locations. Typically, members save 10 cents per gallon.
How to Get the Discount
To access these savings, you’ll need to link your Amazon account to Earnify (a rewards program that makes it easy to get the discount). Here’s how it works:
- Download the Earnify app and link your Amazon account
- Find a participating station using Earnify’s gas station locator
- The discount is a combination of 5¢ off from Amazon and 5¢ off from Earnify, totaling 10¢ per gallon
- The offer applies to all fuel grades, with no minimum or maximum number of gallons required
Once you’ve linked Amazon and Earnify, you should be able to apply discounts at the pump by entering your phone number, using the Earnify app or using your Earnify-linked payment method.
