- QuestionCan I get the Amazon Prime discount for customers if a family member receives government assistance and I use her EBT card?
Community AnswerI believe it's currently illegal to authorize the use of your EBT card to others not listed, whether lending or selling. Now, most states only allow one person of a household to bring in food for that address, so I understand your position. But for Amazon, it would be a lot of risk involved since someone could have had theirs stolen, which does happen a lot. What you could do is ask the person registered to the EBT card to purchase it and you can make payments to them. It may work out so both of you could split it. But yes, I believe the name of the account and credit card must match what's on the EBT card. - QuestionI am on Medicare and disability, but have no EBT card. How can I join Prime?Community AnswerWith an EBT card, your Prime membership is about 1/2 it would otherwise be. You can pay the full annual price or possibly monthly installments. Look into getting an EBT card; each state handles it differently. Try contacting your senior center or local disability organization; the ADA requires at least 1 person be tasked with handling disability issues. Each type of disability has a local or state group as well.

Rudy TothCommunity AnswerYou don't need to take pictures of your EBT. Amazon Prime is different you can't use your EBT for that!
