Amazon Household

Yep, posted about this in the Prime thread. Didn’t know about it until the weekend either.. but then again, I only joined Prime for Prime Day.

The missus joined too so handy that we can just keep the one sub going.

just a pity you can't share amazon music

Looks like you have to share wallets, i.e. give access to your payment cards.

That's to stop the Spotify/Google Music/Netflix rings that go on.

Doesn't work with student accouints either.

In fairness student accounts are much cheaper.

Oh yeah, not a complaint, more a heads-up, save people a call with Amazon CS

Having an issue trying to attach my account to my wifes one. It's saying we need to be in the same country.

I had that also and turned out her account was set to US for kindle book store and needed to be set the same as my .co.uk account

Could you do that yourself or did you need customer service to do it?

I have a student account and I was able to add a family member.

Really? I was told by CS that that wasn't possible. I'll have to try again, would be very handy altogether.

I assume delivery has to be the same address as the main account owner?

No, and I often order for others too so as a secondary household member on my mother's account (both different addresses) I've often ordered for friends and delivered to their addresses.

How does this work with sharing echo devices?

Due to the pandemic, in my parents house there are my parents and 4 adult children. Each child has an echo device and my parents share echo devices.

Are there any downsides to creating a household with all of us on it so our echos can interact?

i found an issue few months back where 2 houses with echos+hue lights got completely messed up, in other words my group lights would be replaced from another family members house, deleting etc picking correct ones would initially restore to non existing lights, so smth to keep in mind if you use other smart home devices.

It specifically says you can.

Only prime members can share the following benefits with one other adult in the Household:

Unlimited One-Day Delivery plus Same-Day Delivery in eligible areas
Prime Video Streaming
Prime Reading
Early access to Amazon Lightning Deals
20% off nappies and 15% off Baby Registry

I can't find it right now but that isn't included for Rep Of Ireland customers. You can have multiple profiles on the one Prime Video account, but not multiple prime video accounts.

Have mine shared with a colleague in work. Obviously there’s trust involved as we can use each other’s card, etc., but we don’t.
He has his delivery addresses setup, I have mine.
We have notifications turned off so we don’t see/hear what the other is getting.
I’m “based” in the UK, so we have Prime Video shared.
I also bought a Firestick for the father-in-law, registered it to my account, turned off all notifications, and put a pin on purchases. So he has access to Prime video too!

On top of free delivery, special offers, etc., it’s not bad for £40 a year!

So I shared mine with the missus but she cannot see my payment card, only hers. Shouldn't my payment card now be an option for her to use in her account?

Thanks, I wasn’t aware that it was restricted over here. We’ve only set it up so haven’t tried it out yet. Amazon should really make it clearer up front.

I used a parcel motel address in the UK, then asked Amazon Customer Service to switch me over to a UK account. No hassle at all, didn’t really question it. I think I set the parcel motel as my billing address afair!
