Amazon Lowers the Prime cost for Individuals on Government Assistance

​Today, Amazon is the largest online retailer in the world. This Seattle startup opened its doors
in 1994, and has taken over the online world of shopping. What many might not know is that
Amazon started as an online bookstore, but quickly added music, DVDs, video games, clothing,
and electronics, and now so much more.

With each passing year we feel there is so much more that Amazon has to offer, from products
to the services it now offers. Each step is carefully crafted and executed. Amazon always puts
the customer first. So it came as no surprise when the company announced that it would start
offering a discounted Prime membership to those who are living on Government Assistance in
the U.S. 

To make their subscription more affordable, they lowered the annual $99 subscription fee to just
$5.99 per month. This will increase accessibility for those who are living under government
assistant programs.

The program still faces some headwinds. For example, the $5.99 monthly fee cannot be paid
using government funds and not every home has access to the internet. However, Amazon
continues to try to grow their Prime membership and make it as accessible to those who want it
as possible.
