This initiative, known as Amazon Access, provides programs and discounts to provide convenience and benefits to those who are qualified recipients of government assistance. Offers include SNAP-eligible food delivery and a 50% discount on Prime membership with Prime Access, among other benefits.
Making food purchases and taking advantage of discounts with SNAP EBT is a simple process, and no Prime membership is required. Just follow these steps:
1. Register your SNAP EBT card on the Amazon platform.
2. Make your grocery purchases.
3. Enter your EBT PIN at checkout.
On the Amazon Access page, customers can learn about programs such as SNAP EBT payment acceptance and Prime Access. Amazon was one of the first retailers to introduce the option to shop online with SNAP, and has since extended EBT SNAP acceptance to those eligible nationwide.
Regardless of location in the U.S., individuals have the ability to purchase groceries on Amazon.com, as well as at Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market where available.
Amazon's goal is to provide a wide variety of products, low prices and convenient delivery options at more affordable prices. Until recently, SNAP recipients could not make online purchases with their funds, and Prime Access offers those eligible the opportunity to enjoy a Prime subscription at half the usual cost, providing access to exclusive offers, free delivery, food discounts and multimedia entertainment included with the subscription.
