Yes, you can only have a maximum of two adults linked under a single Amazon Prime membership through Amazon Household.
An Amazon Prime membership allows you to share certain benefits with your family members by creating an Amazon Household. While this feature enables broader access to Prime advantages, it has specific limitations regarding the number of adults who can share the benefits.
Understanding Amazon Household Limits
Amazon Household is designed to share benefits with up to six people in total, structured as follows:
- Up to two adults (ages 18 and up): Each adult must have their own separate Amazon account.
- Up to four teens (ages 13 through 17): These individuals can have their own Amazon logins to access shared benefits, with parental oversight for purchases.
This means that while a Prime membership can serve multiple family members, the core adult-level benefits are restricted to two individuals with distinct Amazon accounts.
Benefits Shared Through Amazon Household
When you set up an Amazon Household, the primary Prime member can share a range of benefits with the other adult and teens. These typically include:
- Prime Delivery: Fast, free shipping options on eligible items.
- Prime Video: Access to a vast library of movies and TV shows.
- Prime Reading: A rotating selection of free books and magazines.
- Prime-exclusive Deals: Access to special discounts and early access to deals.
- Amazon Music Unlimited (if subscribed): Shared access if the primary member has a Family Plan.
It's important to note that while many benefits are shared, each adult maintains their own separate Amazon account, including individual payment methods, order histories, and personalized recommendations.
Who Can Be Part of Your Amazon Household?
The structure of an Amazon Household is clearly defined:
| Member Type | Age Requirement | Account Requirement | Maximum per Household |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adults | 18 and up | Must have own Amazon account | 2 |
| Teens | 13 - 17 | Own Amazon login | 4 |
