The Perk Index

Amazon Prime, perk by perk

Amazon Prime perks, scored on whether they change an ordinary week.

14perks scoredSeven criteria, no partial credit

Amazon Prime is sold as one thing and delivered as fourteen. The list is not the argument, because a list cannot tell you whether to pay. So every perk here is scored 1 to 7 on seven documented criteria, and the ones that change nothing get written down as changing nothing.

The scoring system is public, the checklist is printed, and you are invited to argue with it. Seven criteria, one point each, no partial credit.

What lands here

Delivery speeds, Prime Video, Amazon Music, grocery delivery, pharmacy, Amazon Photos, Household sharing, deal event access, and the mechanics around free trials and cancellations. Every perk gets the same seven questions, and every page carries the date it was last checked.

The fall event pages are timed to October 6 and 7. Every guide sits in the guides index. Here is the part nobody says out loud: most Prime guides are written to make you click, not to help you decide. This one is scored so that it can tell you no.

If a Prime guide never once tells you not to join Prime, it is not a guide. It is an ad.
