In the United States and in the United Kingdom, Amazon Prime has a program where members of a family can share Amazon Prime delivery benefits and access to Prime Video.[3][4] In 2025, the program was renamed Amazon Family from Amazon Household, with Amazon making it clear that members are supposed to live in the same household.[5][6] Amazon also ended an earlier Prime Invitee program that had more easily allowed sharing outside the household.[5][7][8] In other countries such as Germany, users can only share delivery benefits.[9][10]
