What the Tech: Free perks

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Most of us pay for several subscriptions every month. Streaming services, cellphone plans, shopping memberships, music subscriptions and more. But what if some of those services you’re paying for separately are already included in something else?

Amazon just announced a new perk for Prime members, and it’s a good reminder to check what you’re getting for your money.

Here are some of the free benefits you may be missing.

Amazon Prime: Free Uber Eats delivery and much more

Amazon Prime costs $139 a year, and most members think of it as a way to get free shipping and access to Prime Video.

Beginning November 5, Amazon Prime members can also get free delivery on qualifying Uber Eats restaurant orders of $25 or more when ordering through Amazon’s website or shopping app.

To introduce the new benefit, Amazon is offering $20 off each of the first two qualifying orders during the first 14 days of the promotion. Service fees, taxes and tips may still apply.

You don’t need to download the Uber Eats app or create another account. Just search for Uber Eats in the Amazon Shopping app.

But that’s hardly the only benefit included with Prime.
