Amazon Prime has travel perks people forget about. Here’s what’s actually useful.
Prime Hotels
Discounts through Amazon’s travel portal. Not huge, maybe 5-10%. But stacks with whatever else Prime costs you anyway.
Selection is limited compared to Expedia or Booking. Works for common destinations. Might not help for obscure spots.
Whole Foods Savings
Road trip snacks discounted. Not travel exactly but saves money on the way.
10% off sale items. Extra deals weekly. Adds up for frequent travelers stocking up.
Prime Video Downloads
Download shows before flights. Watch offline. No WiFi fees. Better than airline entertainment usually.
Kids content especially. Long flight, downloaded movies, everyone survives.
Amazon Music
Included with Prime. Download playlists for airplane mode. Not Spotify quality library but free.
Reading
Prime Reading has magazines and books. Download before departure. Reading material sorted.
Kindle Unlimited is separate but discounted for Prime members occasionally.
Shipping to Hotels
Forgot something? Prime to hotel address. Same-day sometimes. Useful for extended trips.
Worth It For Travel?
Not worth subscribing just for travel perks. But if you already have Prime, use them. Most people don’t realize they exist.
