How to get Amazon Prime for free

1. Go to Amazon.com

2. Select Join Prime to go to the Amazon Prime page.

It's important that you remember to cancel the subscription before it renews.

Once you've provided a payment method, you're all set! Here are just a few of the deals you can only get with Amazon Prime:
