New to the Amazon Jungle? Welcome, grasshopper! Tap the three little lines in the corner (think hamburger, not the animal kind...although alpaca socks are totally a thing on Prime). Look for "Try Prime" and dive in!
-
Amazon Veteran? Salutations, seasoned shopper! Tap the familiar dropdown menu by your name (hopefully it's your name, not a pseudonym like "Cat Whisperer 42"). See "Your Prime Membership"? Click that like it owes you money.
Important Side Note: There's a free trial lurking around here somewhere. Snag it! It's like a test drive, but for faster shipping and questionable movie recommendations (seriously, who picks these?).
