I think I am going to try to get the Amazon Prime deal on Friday for $67, but I have questions about it. We have several Kindles (we have 4 total in our house), I think they are all linked to different email accounts, will they all be able to use the books, movies and music? Or is Amazon Prime just linked to one account?
I'm hoping someone here would know. I've tried looking on Amazon but couldn't find the answer!! TIA |

It's linked to one account but I believe you can share with another email in your household. I could very well be wrong and of absolutely no help! 
I found this:

You can share Prime. I've had it under my email for about 4 years and have shared with DH (who uses my account all time time anyway) and DD who is away at college. One thing with Kindles.. We have several, and they're all on my account. When I buy/borrow a book, I always select the "deliver to" as Karin's Paperwhite. Yet, it ends up on all of our devices. I don't care enough to straighten that out.  I love Prime. |

Ok, thanks. That is what I was wondering about. I'd be the only one ordering anything to be shipped, but I want the girls to be able to use the kindle and videos on their kindles. I need to find them and see if they are all linked to mine, or if they are on separate accounts. I can't remember how I set it up when we bought them (the girl's were gifts from my dad last Christmas).

My mom shares Prime with me, but I have to use her log in info for Amazon Video and Music. I believe those are only available to the Prime holder, not the emails that are shared with it.

If you log into your Amazon, you should be able to look at "Manage Your Content and Devices". That will tell you what's linked to your account, so you can add/remove if you need to. I'm debating getting the $49 Kindle, to download movies onto for travelling. It's insane how cheap they are now. |

I was going to do it until dh told me the college student prime is $50. He is taking classes and has a college email account so he can sign up whenever.

I would like to share the delivery portion of prime with my parents. Can't they just sign on as me and ship to their house? They say they're not interested in other services, although they have a kindle.

They say they're not interested in other services, although they have a kindle. You can add them to your Prime and then they can have their own account and pay with their own CC. It's easier that way than having them use your acct, unless you want to pay for their orders. |

Yes. DH is the primary account holder for us. if I want to watch movies etc. I have to go under his account. If I want to pay for something that I don't want him to know about, you can add additional emails/accounts. So my email/account is added to our prime, but I get the notifications on shipping etc. The only prime benefit I CAN"T access under my own account is the Video and Music as well as the lending library. anonrefugee They can add on their account to yours, under household. That way they have control over their own CCd info etc. We also store my moms CCd info under our account, and she buys from them when she needs something. Usually through me, "working the computer" It does come in handy though at the holidays when I need to keep something hidden, to just have it shipped to her house. |

Actually, now it's only 6 months. Then they charge $50. Unless there is a code floating around? This is what I found in my research. I thought about switching it to DS to save $50, but in the end decided that it was easier to just pay it myself and have the access to the other benefits. |

He's had it for maybe 6 months. He's pretty tech savvy and I have no idea where he found it. |
