Amazon to End Prime Invitee Program, Limit Shared Free Shipping

Beginning Oct. 1, Amazon will switch Prime customers from its Prime Invitee Program to the new Amazon Family Program, which limits shared free shipping and additional benefits with other adult members.
Under the new arrangement, Prime members will be able to share benefits with only one other adult, and up to four children in the household, as well as up to four teens—if they were added before April 7, 2025.
Currently, the Prime Invitee Program allows members to share benefits with people outside their household. However, starting next month, any additional household adults will be required to purchase their own Prime Membership.
In order to share benefits, a customer and the invitee must live together at the same primary residential address. Customers can also stop sharing benefits with their Amazon Family members at any time….
