Kitchen Table Kibitzing ~ 6.19.23 [1]

Star Trek is free on Amazon Prime right now. It is every bit as cheesy as the original.

I have been on a friends Amazon Prime account for over 20 years. I haven’t talked to her in about 5 years. She moves around a lot. I wondered the other day if she would keep me on her account for ever. Guess not. Yesterday I got a message from Amazon that I was losing my household privileges and had 24 hours to get a new account.

I wasn’t sure I wanted a new account or could afford one. My main question was, will all my info transfer to the new account? I looked and looked for that info and never did find it. What I did find was something called Prime Access. A program where if you are on some kind of government assistance program, like food stamps - SNAP, you can get all the perks of Prime for half price, $6.99.

Needless to say, I signed up. Besides SNAP Amazon also accepts:

In order to apply for Prime Access, shoppers must upload documentation — either an eligibility letter or a card — from one of the following programs: Medicaid

SSI: Supplemental Security Income

Direct Express Prepaid Debit Card

TANF: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families

TTANF: Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families

NSLP: National School Lunch Program

LIHEAP: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program

WIC: Women, Infants, and Children program

You can also use your SNAP EBT card to buy food from Amazon! Very Exciting. Also exciting, when I signed up all my info did transfer, my wish lists, subscriptions, previous orders just magically appeared.
