Withthe exclusive Prime Day sale and third season of Clarkson's Farmin the rearview mirror, you might be thinking about canning your Amazon Prime subscription.
At £8.99 per month, it's one of the pricier subscriptions on the market, especially when compared with the likes of Netflix and Disney+, which both start from just £4.99 a month. Of course, while exclusive boxsets like The Boys, The Grand Tour, and Fallout are big draws, Amazon Prime doesn't just compete with streaming services.
The loyalty scheme includes a slew of other bonuses, like unlimited next-day delivery on thousands of items from Amazon, cloud backup via Amazon Photos, free PC games to download and keep, a rotating selection of Kindle eBooks to read each month, and much more.
If you signed up for a 30-day free trial to unlock access to the best Prime Day deals, you'll need to cancel the subscription very soon to avoid being charged a rolling one-month subscription for membership. But two of the most recent perks for Prime users might convince you to hold fire on hitting the "Cancel" button.
At the end of last year, Amazon teamed up with ODEON to offer a pair of cinema tickets for £10 at multiplexes nationwide. The offer is exclusive to Amazon Prime members and remains available to this day.
The deal offers a saving of more than 45% on standard price at most ODEON cinemas. You can pocket two standard cinema tickets for £10 between Monday and Thursday. Alternatively, you can pay £15 for two tickets at ODEON Luxe, which has reclining leather seats.
Prime members will be able to request a discount code that can be used in-person at ODEON or via the ODEON website or mobile app to cut ticket prices dramatically.
Lastly, Prime members can benefit from a supercharged Audible offer — until the deal expires on July 31.
Launched as part of the annual Prime Day sale, the exclusive three-month free trial for Prime members is still available until July 31

For a limited time, you'll be able to pick any three audiobooks from Audible to download and keep forever, even if you later cancel your subscription to the service.
Not only that, but you'll also be able to listen to exclusive podcasts and Audible shows, like Stephen Fry's Victorian Secrets, Sleep Sound With Jamie Dornan, French and Saunders Titting About, Derren Brown's Boot Camp For The Brain, as well as audio documentaries like Chasing Ghislaine and Countered Terrorism.
While anyone can unlock a two-month free trial of Audible, with access to two Audible books, Amazon will add an extra month for free to anyone with an active Prime membership.
Even if you immediately cancel your discounted three-month subscription, Prime members can listen and re-listen to the Audible books that you've chosen, whether that's Prince Harry's tell-all memoir Spare read by The Duke Of Sussex himself, Frank Herbert'sDune book series, Killing Eve star Jodie Comer readingPrima Facie, comedian David Mitchell reading his historical bestseller Unruly, or Matthew Perry's autobiography covering his time on the ever-popular NBC sit-com and his battles addiction Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing.
Audible has one of the largest collections of audiobooks, as well as a growing number of exclusive shows and ad-free podcasts, on offer for its monthly subscribers
