Title: Amazon Ends Shared Prime Free Shipping Outside Your Home

Speaking of Amazon Prime, Amazon is axing the program that lets Prime members
share their free shipping perk with people outside their household. The
Verge: In an update to its support page, Amazon says it will cut off Prime
benefit sharing on October 1st, 2025, prompting invitees who don't live with
the account holder to sign up for their own subscription at a discounted
$14.99 rate for an entire year (and then $14.99 per month after that).
Instead, Amazon is replacing this program with Amazon Family, which lets
account holders share Prime benefits -- but only with people they live with.
Amazon says everyone in a "Family" must live at the same primary residential
address, defined as "the address you consider to be your home and where you
spend the majority of your time."
