This is the email they're sending out:

> You are currently enjoying Prime’s fast, free delivery as an invited guest of a Prime member through the Prime Invitee program. We want to inform you that this program will end on October 1, 2025, after which you will no longer have access to the shared Prime shipping benefit.

> To continue accessing Prime benefits, you have two options:

> Get your own Prime membership: Get 12 months of Prime for $14.99 - that is 89% off 12 months of Prime. This special offer begins on September 5, 2025 and remains valid until December 31, 2025. You'll keep your order history when you sign up using your current account. Take advantage of this offer before it ends.

> Join Amazon Family: Get access to all Prime benefits at no cost by joining a household Prime member’s Amazon Family. Once they send you an invitation, you can enjoy shared Prime benefits like fast, free delivery, access to exclusive deals, Prime Video, Amazon Music, select digital content (including audio books, eBooks, games, and more), access to Grubhub+, Shutterfly Photos, and fuel savings at bp, Amoco, and participating ampm locations.

To maintain uninterrupted access to Prime benefits, please select your preferred option before October 1, 2025.
