FOR NEW & EXPECTING PARENTS
Free Welcome Box (Prime members): create a registry, add 10 unique items, and get more than $10 in registry purchases (by you or others). Ships in the contiguous U.S. only; while supplies last. Amazon's About Amazon blog calls it a "$35 value" (at time of writing, Oct 25 2026).
15% Completion Discount: once the registry has been active 14 days, the primary registrant can use it from 60 days before to 90 days after the arrival date, on eligible items up to $2,000 combined, max $300 savings (at time of writing, Oct 25 2026).
Free 1-year returns on eligible registry gifts (up to 365 days).

FOR ENGAGED COUPLES
20% Completion Discount: if your registry gets $500+ in qualifying purchases, the primary registrant gets a one-time 20% off one order of select items shipped and sold by Amazon.com, up to $1,500 (max $300 off). Gift cards don't count toward the $500. Use it within 90 days after the wedding date. Registries created less than 30 days before the wedding aren't eligible (at time of writing, Oct 25 2026).
180-day free returns on gifts bought from your registry (not on items you buy for yourself).
Register for anything sold in Amazon's stores, and guests get fast shipping on eligible items.

FOR STREAMERS
What it is: extra, paid subscriptions to premium networks and streaming channels (examples Amazon lists include MAX, Showtime and Starz; Paramount+, AMC+ and Apple TV were shown on the add-ons page on Oct 25 2026). You watch them inside the Prime Video app.
Pay for only what you want: add-on fees are charged on top of your Prime Video membership. Most add-ons come with a free trial where applicable; trial length and price vary by channel (at time of writing, Oct 25 2026). To get a trial you need a credit or debit card on file.
Simple billing: everything is on one Amazon bill, and you can even pay with an Amazon gift card balance.
