Overview
- Eligible customers pay €4.49 per month or €44.90 per year, compared with the regular €8.99 per month or €89.90 per year.
- Eligibility ties to a Rundfunkbeitrag exemption or a municipal Sozialpass, covering groups such as Bürgergeld or Grundsicherung recipients, people with severe disabilities, and students receiving BAföG or vocational allowances.
- Amazon requires qualifying proof and notes that re-verification may be required after 12 months.
- The reduced membership is non-transferable and limited to one account per qualifying proof, and households may share only shipping benefits rather than the discounted membership itself.
- Availability is uneven because some cities issue such passes, like Frankfurt, while others, including Hamburg, do not.
