Some Spectrum internet customers can get free Amazon Prime - see if you're eligible
The offer is open to subscribers on any tier, but it is location-based.
Spectrum internet customers may now receive a complimentary Amazon Prime subscription, according to recent announcements. This new benefit is available to low-income families and seniors who are on any internet tier, as part of Spectrum's Spectrum Internet Assist program. Typically priced at $14.99 per month, Amazon Prime offers perks such as free two-day shipping and access to Prime Video.
Spectrum's announcement follows their recent earnings call, which revealed a loss of 172,000 internet customers in the second quarter of 2026.
Eligibility for the free Amazon Prime subscription is determined by whether a household qualifies for Spectrum Internet Assist, which targets low-cost broadband for eligible low-income families and seniors. This includes households receiving SSI (Supplemental Security Income) of all types, such as SNAP (Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program) and Medicaid, as well as those participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP).
Existing or new Spectrum internet customers can take advantage of this offer, regardless of their internet service tier. Amazon Prime members can transfer their subscription to the Spectrum offer without any additional cost. However, those with Prime subscriptions through third-party services, like cell phone carriers, will need to cancel their current subscription and sign up for the Spectrum offer.
While the program is still rolling out in some areas, eligible customers can check their eligibility by logging into their Spectrum account, visiting Spectrum.net/Prime, and following the instructions to create or log in to their Amazon account. Upon validation of their eligibility, they will be able to enjoy the free Amazon Prime subscription.
