Eligible with the GrubHub+ app, you’ll get a full year of free delivery, exclusive promotions, and donation matching.

Amazon trade-in program:25% off new devicesPrime Day is an amazing time to pick up Amazon own brand devices, everyone knows that. Did you know that you can get discounts and cold hard cash by trading your old devices though? If you’ve got an old tablet, phone, or laptop that’s nearing its life, why not hand it over to Amazon in part exchange for a new one. For a limited time Amazon will recycle your old device for free and potentially give you either an upfront discount or store credit for your account.

Audible:three months freeRight now, Prime members can try Audible for free for 90 days, instead of paying the usual price of $14.95 per month. An Audible subscription grants access to thousands on Audible Originals, audiobooks and podcasts. You also get a credit each month that you can use to download and keep any title of your choice.

Amazon Music Unlimted:four months freeIf you’ve never tried Amazon Music Unlimited before you can now get a four-month membership for free. Considering this service usually costs $8.99 per month, we’re talking about asignificantsaving here. The service offers 90 million songs ad-free in high quality as well as millions of podcast episodes. If you’re sick of Spotify’s bugs and foibles then this is a great chance to try one of the bigger music platforms on the market.

Kindle Unlimited:four months freeAmazon’s subscription services don’t just cover music and TV, you know - there’s also Kindle Unlimited, which is perfect for readers. This service features a huge library of not just ebooks, but magazines and audiobooks too. Mind, it’s not as expansive as Audible when it comes to the latter but it’s a great pairing with a new Kindle. Right now, Prime members can try this service for a while four months on the house - that’s a total saving of $34. Not bad.

Prime Video:two months for $0.99Annoyingly, Amazon isn’t offering its premier on-demand streaming platform for free. Instead, you’ll have to pay $0.99 for Prime Video with this Prime Day promo. What a rip off. We’re of course joking - this is an amazing deal and a great opportunity to try out on of the best (and most expansive) streaming platforms on the market. Just take a look at its vast library of movies, shows, and channels and decide for yourself.

Amazon Photos:unlimited photo storage and 5GB video storageA great perk that not many Prime members take advantage of - did you know you can back up all those precious family photos for free?
