The Augusta GreenJackets off today. They will host Fayetteville for a series at SRP Park beginning tomorrow night at 7:05. Also, the Braves winners yesterday over the Phillies. The Braves hit four home runs in the first six innings. And Renaldo Lopez had another great start as the Braves win six nothing. Atlanta at Arizona tonight at 9:40.

Chris Sale, Reynaldo Lopez, and Marcell Ozuna will represent the National League. 32 first time all-stars this year will play in the game, including pitching sensation Paul Skenes of the Pirates, who’s made just ten big league starts, but he is on the National League roster.

Prime Membership Perks You Probably Didn't Know About

I’ve been an Amazon Prime member for a few years now. And I’m still learning about the benefits and perks. For $14.99 per month or $139 per year, members can get free shipping on all orders. Subscribers join for the benefit of fast and free delivery on millions of items.

You may even be familiar with some of its other such as access to Prime Day deals and Prime Video. But other perks come with the membership that fly under the radar. What are the other benefits of a Prime membership?

Perks I Enjoy

If you ever need a last-minute gift and you’re unable to get out of the house or maybe you forgot something, they have free two-day shipping on eligible items. Put this with your free delivery and you’re pretty much set. You get unlimited deliveries with no minimum order size, and with millions of eligible items, the options are practically limitless.

Additionally, Prime offers same-day delivery on eligible items. Just in case, you’re really in a pinch.

Shopping for holidays is less stressful when you know you have early access and lightning deals. Amazon offers limited-time “Lightning Deals” to shoppers every day, but Amazon Prime members can access them 30 minutes before everyone else.

You can take advantage of the extra 30 minutes by looking for upcoming deals and selecting the “Watch This Deal” option. If you do it in the Amazon App, you’ll get a push notification when the deal goes live, so you can snag the item before it’s available to non-Prime shoppers.

Streaming on Prime Video has been a game changer for me. I became a fan of shows like The Boys and Fallout through the platform. You can watch those, and a ton of other shows and movies, on your computer or the go with the Prime Video app, and download select titles to your iPhone, iPad, or Android device. My favorite thing to do is download movies or tv shows on the app before a flight and watch while I’m in the air.

There’s a bonus perk of members saving 20% on eligible subscription items. That includes things you find yourself ordering regularly, like probiotics or diapers.

Perks You Probably Didn’t Know You Could Get with Your Amazon Prime Membership

While those are some of my personal favorites, more benefits often get missed by members. Take a look at some of the other benefits that come with an Amazon Prime membership below.

  • Grubhub+

    Amazon is a great place to stock up on groceries and other essentials without having to leave the house. As a Prime member, you could also be saving some money the next time you want to order in for dinner. I didn’t know that you can get a Grubhub+ subscription free for a year with your Amazon Prime membership. With this perk, delivery fees are waived on orders over $12, and service fees will be lower overall. If you’re curious about how it works, take a look here.

  • Photo and Video Storage

    Did you know that Prime members get photo and video storage as part of their membership? I found on by watching a video on social media. Amazon Prime members get unlimited full-resolution photo storage and five gigabytes of video storage with their subscription. This is a handy perk too. When using other storage platforms, you often run into the issue of having to pay for additional storage. I happen to take a lot of pictures so, this is a bonus.

  • Baby Registry Box

    If you have expecting parents in your life, let them know about this one. Prime members can snag a baby registry box. Select members can get a free welcome box when they create a baby registry for more than 10 unique items and make $10 worth of purchases. Make sure to read the fine print. Shipping and tax don’t count toward the amount, and neither do gift card purchases.

  • Cash Back

    Prime membership already offers a direct way to save on your purchases by providing free shipping. The subscription also has free two-day shipping available on eligible items. But one perk that’s often missed is cash back with a co-branded Visa credit card. The Prime Visa card is a fee-free card. Members earn 5 percent cash back on Amazon, Whole Foods, Amazon Grocery, and Chase Travel; 2 percent back on gas, restaurants, and commuting costs and 1 percent everywhere else. Cardholders can often get 6 percent cash back if they opt for slower shipping and 10 percent on select sale items. Some users will also receive an Amazon gift card worth up to $100 when they enroll.

  • Prime Gaming

    Gaming anyone? Access to Prime Gaming is just another one of the perks that comes with your membership. Just by being a Prime member, you can get your hands on exclusive in-game loot and free monthly PC games.It also includes a free monthly Twitch subscription that you can use to support your favorite streamers. I’m not much of a gamer but now, I want to look into this a bit more.
