  "account": "Amazon Prime can be a costly monthly subscription, but there are several ways to reduce the cost or get it for free. Eligible US employees at Amazon can enjoy free Prime membership. Similarly, hourly workers at Whole Foods will receive Prime benefits starting January 1, 2027. Metro by T-Mobile, a mobile carrier, used to bundle Prime with certain plans but stopped offering it to new customers in September 2026. Existing customers can still keep the benefit. Navy Federal Visa Signature Flagship Rewards cardholders received a $139 statement credit toward an annual Amazon Prime membership paid with the card, but this offer has been replaced by the Flagship Premier card, which provides a $100 airline credit instead. Low-income customers may also be eligible for Amazon Prime at no extra cost through Spectrum's Internet Assist plan.",
  "summary": "Don't pay full price; you might already qualify for cheaper Prime or have another benefit that covers the membership fee",
