Overview

• Affected invitees will lose shared Prime delivery on October 1, 2025, with notices to guests due by September 5, according to customer communications.
• Sharing will be limited to Amazon Family, which allows one other adult in the same home, up to four children, and up to four teens added before April 7, 2025.
• Household sharing requires the same primary residential address plus linked accounts and shared payment methods for verification, per Amazon’s help pages.
• Invitees who don’t live with the account holder will be prompted to get their own Prime membership, with a discounted first-year offer reported at $14.99 through December 31, 2025.
• The clampdown follows reporting that U.S. Prime sign-ups around Prime Day missed internal targets, reflecting a broader industry push to curb account sharing and boost subscriptions.
