Amazon household. Worth it?

[Kensington]

Recently married, and the wife and I are still using separate Prime accounts...doesn't seem like it's worth it to have two people paying for Prime in one household. While looking to merge accounts/digital purchases, came across household, but I can't find any pricing information. It does say that to household two accounts, one can be Prime and the other not, and the other person can use the household Prime benefits. Now does that mean we can cancel prime on one of our accounts and only pay for one Prime as soon as we setup? Is it too much to ask for a prorated refund ? Anybody done this?

I recently set this up and my monthly prime charge did not go up. She set it up under her email address, with her CC # and her orders only show up on her account. I think the shipping address is locked to the primary address on my account.

I'm not sure if she's able to do prime video, i'll have to ask tonight

I just use my wife's prime account. No need to sign up for a special household account.

Main issue with one account is around B Days and Christmas. Amy and I can see what we're getting if it's coming from Amazon. My B Day is tomorrow and I know I'm getting some black garlic from Amy. LOL

My wife and I use my account but it is cool that there's a household feature to a primary Prime account.

Amazon app - manage prime membership - manage houshold. add one of you to the other and cancel one. both will get prime without shared purchase history.

Might do this for me and my GF. I'm tired of getting her purchase emails. I will however order stuff for my mom or other people directly to their houses.. does this indeed lock the shipping address?

Do household.

Wife has normal account under my prime household, and I think we have her sister on it as well. They get benefits of my prime and dont have to have prime themselves.

Why not. It's not a special account, just a feature they offer. This way you two can shop for each other and surprise not be given away from an order e mail or shipping notification.
