Earlier this year, it was reported that Amazon, the major e-commerce platform, was testing a new membership plan called Prime Lite. Now, Amazon India has officially launched the Amazon Prime Lite membership plan, which is more affordable and accessible to all shoppers in the country. This new plan offers similar benefits to the regular Prime membership but at a lower price. Here are the key details you should know about the Amazon Prime Lite membership plan.
Pricing:
The Amazon Prime Lite membership plan is priced at Rs 999 for a 12-month subscription. Unlike the regular Prime membership, which offers monthly and quarterly plans, the Prime Lite membership only has an annual plan. The Prime Lite membership is cheaper than the regular Prime membership, which costs Rs 1,499 per year.
Benefits:
– Prime Lite members can enjoy free two-day and standard delivery, along with the option of No-Rush shipping to eligible addresses. Additionally, members can receive Rs 25 cashback as part of the plan.
– The membership includes a 5% cashback on purchases made using an Amazon Pay ICICI Bank credit card on the Amazon India website. However, digital and gift card purchases earn 2% back, in addition to rewards from other retailers.
– Prime Lite members can stream unlimited videos, movies, and TV shows in HD quality with ads from Prime Video on two devices.
– The membership offers early access to lightning deals, Prime-exclusive lightning deals, deals of the day, and more on the Amazon India website.
Comparison with Amazon Prime:
While the Prime Lite membership offers many benefits, there are some perks exclusive to Amazon Prime members. Prime members enjoy faster delivery options such as one-day, scheduled, and same-day delivery. They also have the advantage of morning delivery for select products.
Additionally, Prime members have access to Prime Reading and Amazon Music. They can stream 4K content on Prime Video on up to six devices without ads. Prime members also enjoy additional benefits like no-cost EMI, free screen replacement, and special gaming offers.
