How to sign up for Amazon Prime 2023

Time really does fly, doesn’t it? It only seems like yesterday that we were looking at Amazon’s fall Prime Day roundup of deals. But all too soon, the 2023 holiday season is approaching — and with it, the much-touted sales of Black Friday (November 24th) and Cyber Monday (November 27th).

If you’re interested in the goodies being offered but haven’t signed up for Amazon Prime, don’t worry — Amazon makes it very easy. (Not surprisingly. After all, it would be the sorry vendor who would make it difficult for people to become new customers.)

You can share your Prime account — and most of its features — with one other adult. And you get a 30-day free trial, so you can try it (and the Prime Day specials) out.

We should probably mention the obvious: you can sign up for a Prime membership, take advantage of the free 30-day trial, and then cancel it after the Prime Day sales are over. But you can only do that once, so you won’t be able to use that trick next year when Prime Day comes around again.
