Amazon needs to offer a senior discount. I filled out this petition which I hope helps. http://www.change.org/amazonseniordiscount. Seniors have worked their entire life and deserve this!

I have an Amazon prime account. How can I convert this to a senior account?

I am getting a charge of $6.94 for Advanced AL prime #564916288. Can you tell me what this charge is? I wanted a senior Prime membership to avoid shipping charges.

Ok senior citizens discount— ONLY EBT OR MEDICAID seniors get a discount? What about the regular senior citizens that don’t have EBT or have Medicare not Medicaid we don’t get a discount
—> senior citizens that don’t have EBT or Medicaid don’t get anything ?
So unless you have EBT/MEDICAID YOU GET NO SENIOR DISCOUNT???
WE ARE SENIORS- with or without a EBT or not being ON MEDICAID… we’re over 65- and worked for decades… and we can’t get discounts (?). — rip off!

I wanted to get a discount on my Amazon Prime I have been a loyal customer of Amazon Prime for years but I would appreciate a discount however I have been healthy and don’t need Medicaid and have never signed up for an EBT card so am disqualified from getting a discount. I wish you would reconsider this requirement because some of us are proud that we can take care of ourselves instead of the government

Same here. I’m 75, have minutes to live, probably 😂, am confined to my apt, receiving Social Security, AND have Medicare plus a supplement; BUT not draining my state of $$ by being on Medicaid. So no senior discount for me. Probably need to throw myself down a flight of stairs or somethin’ so I’ll qualify, but then I’d have mere seconds to live…😆

We seniors are doing out best to get buy and remain independent, not relaying on the government. I have been an Amazon customer for years. When we become seniors why can’t or won’t you offer a discount to us? You certainly have and do make enough money to at least give us the discount on Amazon Prime without an EBT card or being on Medicare. How about it?

I am a 68 year old widow. I order a lot from Amazon because it is easier than store shopping. Why don’t seniors get the same discount as seniors on medicaid or ebt. I don’t want government assistance. Thank you for your consideration.

I was surprised that you are asking for a person’s medicaid information so they can apply for the senior discount. Do you actually have the authority to request a person’s Medicaid information? You are not a healthcare provider and there are HIPPA laws that protect patient information. Can you secure this easily? And asking for a person’s EBT information opens them up for identity theft.

Please consider linking up with AARP to make this easier for seniors to apply for membership

Please read info…. If you know someone that has Amazon prime you can get everybody that gets Amazon prime can have two account two households on each account so I have it and my son in another city is under mine so he can enjoy it and I pay $5.99 so check into that also if you don’t qualify for another another way. Just some helpful info good luck

I have all free medical coverage from the VA. I am 70 years old living on the bare minimum but I don’t receive EBT or Medicaid so what do I do?

I’m disabled n raising my granddaughter. I’m 56 yr old on ssdi I get WIC n medical no EBT etc for her. Can we use are WIC at Amazon grocery store on line? It’s hard for me to get around. Please let me know asap thank you also do I qualify for any other discounts if I’m home schooling her for school she is a student?
Thank you I’ll wait to hear from you.

My husband and I are seniors at 73 and 72 years old. My husband has ALS and I am his caregiver. So we are on a limited income since neither one of us can work. I would think Amazon would give us the 5.99 senior discount but who knows.

I do most of my shopping thru Amazon. Being a 69 year old senior it makes it convenient as I live up in the mountains. We as seniors have paid our dues and taxes all our life. How can you think it is fair for Amazon to give our seniors on Medicaid and EBT only a with prime rate discount membership? We as seniors all have a right to that discount! All of the seniors deserve this, we paid our dues! Shame on Amazon!

You are discriminating against the seniors that live on a fixed income and are on Medicare. Most seniors are on Medicare not Medicaid. Please reconsider. Just because we don’t have an EBT card doesn’t mean we don’t struggle to survive.

I think seniors on Medicare, and disabled should get a discount.

Am 67 disabled had a heart attack with second covid shot can’t afford 12.99 for prime

My husband and I are both on Old Age Pension and live in Canada. I get help from the Ministry in BC, for Medical, Because of being on Disability for sometime now. Don’t know what Medicaid is, Maybe that is for the US only. Here we have Medicare. I do have confirmation that I am getting help with medical from the Social Service Ministry. Will that help to get the 5.99 senior discount. Thankyou for your time

I think is a shame a student gets a discount. But a person that’s worked all there life maybe still working . Don’t get a discount. Waffle house gives you a discount. Discounts are one of the very few things that are good about getting older. But Amazon thinks people in school deserve discount but not the elderly . Anything wrong here?

Hello Elon, What a sham… At 72 yrs and retired with just SSI I don’t have an extra 13.00 month for Prime but maybe 5-6$ would be reasonable. Whats the big deal here? You can send up spaceships but cannot give Seniors a break? Also please quit trying to trick me at the checkout with prime! This is in very bad taste!

I agree with the above comments. I have enjoyed the shipping discounts for this past month, but nothing else. I ordered a $3.99 tag for my dog and didn’t have to get my total up to $25, made me happy. I live off of Social Security only so it’s hard. In the free month, I have never watched a movie on Amazon prime. I stream free channels and am satisfied with them. I do not get my packages in 1 day, more like 4. I’m not eligible for same day shipping. So, for $14 a month, it’s hardly worth it. I am not eligible for EBT or Medicaid, I pay close to $300 a month for my secondary insurance.
Jeff, you are worth billions upon billions, would it hurt you to let all senior citizens have your product for $5.99 per month. That’s an $8 per senior loss for you. What did it cost you to send those 2 people into space for free. It got your name in the paper “Jeff Bezos, what a swell guy”. How about this instead “Jeff Bezos what a great humanitarian”. No, probably not. Sorry to cancel. Guess I’ll just wait till I build up a cart of $25.
Thanks Jeff, enjoy all your trips to outer space while I sit here trying to figure out how to make ends meet.
To Mr. Raymond Perron, not to be critical, but Jeff Bezos owns Amazon. Elon Musk owns Tesla, the electric cars. Let’s slam the right guy!

I also agree with Karen Hodges… (Jeff is too busy thinking about his next 🚀 launch)…

Are you listening Jeff Bezos? You are the richest man on the planet, and you won’t give seniors a discount for Amazon Prime? How do you think you became so wealthy?? The people who use Amazon, that’s who!!! Greedy people make me ill.

Amazon should make their discount available to all seniors. Sign this petition if you agree and then Amazon may change it! http://www.change.org/amazonseniordiscount

Please include all seniors in the prime membership discount. We earned it!!! an Amazon customer for years and now retired!!

Please reconsider and give seniors a discount it will certainly help us manage to make ends meet. I am 78 . Thank You

Please help the older generation have a more comfortable way to spend the last years of their lives. We are the biggest reason the current administration has the ability to issue all those free checks and gov assistance to just about everyone by working our whole lives and fighting and giving up a lot of our lives so the younger generations can stay home and do nothing but go to the mailbox to get their free stuff which they traded their freedoms for! Somehow all that does not seem fair!

Amazon, you really need to offer a discount to ALL seniors. Asking for confidential information that may be violating HIPPA rules is dangerous for Amazon and the customer. And restricting discounts to only certain seniors is discrimination. Please change your discount program so ALL seniors can enjoy your discount, keep private information safe and so Amazon can keep it’s loyal customers.
Sincerely, Susan

I can’t believe that not all seniors get the discount. Instead only ups the cost of membership. Will have me giving real thought of whether or not rejoining once I retire in a couple years.

I never thought I would be in this boat with seniors and one day you will be, too! Give seniors a break!

I am 71 years old and would love to retire, but all of my employers during the 54 years I worked full time – didn’t have retirement plans. I managed to work full time during my pregnancies and immediately after the birth of my child and I raised my child as a single parent since he was 1 1/2 year old. I loved my jobs and I wouldn’t trade the years that I had with my son, even though I was single and life could be a struggle. As you can imagine I can’t live off of the social security I have earned and still be able to pay the mortgage on my home, as well as be able to buy things from Amazon or wherever I can buy the product I am looking for, at the best price. I seldom go anyplace or go out to eat with friends. Every discount I can receive, helps to bring me a little closer to the possibly of retiring. While people that received Medicaid need assistance with payment of their medical needs, they receive that benefit free of charge, while I pay $170.10 a month for my Medicare (totaling $2,041.20) a year for my health coverage for 1 person. To add insult to injury, because I work in order to be able to keep my home, I am also taxed on my social security benefit. I respectfully request that senior citizens receiving social security receive the same discount that students, and Medicaid recipients receive. Every little bit helps. Thank you for reading my request. Perhaps it will help you to understand that every discount helps.

I am sorry but I think that all seniors receiving social security should get Prime for free. For god sakes, we all have worked and would like to have just a little comfort items at this time in our lives that we cant afford. I think we deserve that much, dont you?

I’m 72, still work part time cause Social Security is not enough to pay for bills, meds, food and feed my cats. Senior discounts are valuable for all seniors like me. It would be really nice if Amazon offered a discount on the membership fee. I hope Amazon gives this some consideration.

At 82 and unable to shop due to trouble walking a far distance I pink I sure earned free prime after paying for it all these years. That goes for all seniors.

I’m reading these comments and I wonder if anyone at Amazon gives a damn!!! People who have worked hard all of their lives & many who have supported this company before retirement… you would think you’d atleast give something off. I’ve been a customer for more years than I remember… Everyone should just drop y’all like a hot cake and shop Walmart online

I was paying 12.99 monthly. I called and was told I could save a few dollars paying yearly. I did that. I asked about senior discount and no they do not. I think Amazon could give seniors discount 65+.@ rate of students.. seniors just don’t get discount rates much any longer. I know it would be greatly appreciated especially with our cost of living increasing. Thank you for allowing me to comment.

Mr. Bezos you’re putting the screws to the senior citizen just like our government is doing right now prices are outrageous why should we expect a break from you

Amazon should make their discount available to all seniors. Sign this petition if you agree and then Amazon may change it! http://www.change.org/amazonseniordiscount i am 72 and have been Amazon prime member for 3 years. LOWER THE COST PLEASE !!!

Mr.Bezos/Amazon. The amount of money Amazon profits in a year is astronomical. Amazon is the biggest thing around, on the net. “It Completely Rules the Internet in marketing!! To reduce or eliminate fees would be negligible in effecting Amazon’s profit’s in any adverse way. If it was reduced, the volume of subscriptions would increase substantially. I’m imploring Amazon to do what is right and fair.

All seniors should get discount, I would love to have ebt card but not everyone qualified which Is a shame
Your company is so big why not give discounts

I can understand why many seniors would like a discount as the majority of them are not well to do financially but do make more then the poverty level, hence you are putting the cutoff only if they qualify for Medicaid but there are those that are slightly above that level, some are not only above but are also Veterans like myself who could also use that break as you are aware the Military is not the greatest way to earn money considering it is/was a 24/7/365 job …
Just food for thought for your management……

I am not going to feel bitter like a lot of senior citizens do nor am I giving you a “Poor Me” story but at 69 , have been living through this pandemic for the last two years then these Ridiculous prices we are having to pay along with the news on listening to Putin Bombing the hell out of Ukrainian I am not surprised how the rich just keep getting richer.There is no respect for the elderly and no breaks.Our own grandchildren have grown up with an iPad in their hands. I have never worried about how I am going to take care of myself Financially or emotionally except for when I was just a child. I have an education and worked making good money.Why is it that seniors will always have to pay for the wealthy? The little 5.9% of social security is a slap in the face! When did a new truck start being over $100,000? The value of a dollar is about useless

If all seniors would show solidarity, things might change. If every senior citizen would cancel amazon prime, and list the reason for leaving, it would get the attention of the money folks at amazon.

I am a senior citizen and I have been a prime member for several years . I don’t use Amazon very often , but I have been paying the membership monthly … I think all seniors should have senior discount or student’s rate . Give us a break.

Amazon should help all Seniors.
Many of us have been subscribers for long times
Help American seniors
We buy items too!

Thank you for creating a petition to have Amazon create a senior discount for ALL seniors. You’re our hero, Bennett Heyn!

Gread is your motivation to not offer general senior discount. I am an 84 year old Navy Veteran, who lives alone, in my own home, kindly explain to me why you can not offer me a senior discount ? YOUR ONLY MOTIVATION TO NOT DO SO IS PURE GREAD ON YOUR PART! SHAMEFUL
