Link your Amazon Prime account to your Twitch account to gain access to Twitch Prime, which has its own benefits and offers.
If you have these two platforms connect together, you can take advantage of the premium side of this popular streaming service benefit. Read on and we'll show you how to connect Twitch and Amazon!
How to link your Amazon account to Twitch Prime
The process of connecting Amazon to Twitch to get Twitch Prime is remarkably simple. This simplicity is partly thanks to the fact that Amazon owns Twitch. Those looking to link their accounts should head over to the Twitch Prime website for a simple overview or even start a free 30-day Amazon Prime trial.
The process of signing up is pretty simple. Thanks to the affiliation with Amazon, all relevant forms should already contain your details.
However, some Amazon Prime subscribers have encountered an error on the site stating that a billing address must be verified before being granted access to Twitch Prime. If you encounter this problem, there is another way to sign up and link to Twitch and Amazon.
By far the easiest way for Amazon Prime subscribers to connect to Twitch is via the Amazon homepage.
From there, follow these steps:
- Click Accounts and Lists and sign in if necessary
- Navigate to your account home page
- Click the button labeled Prime
- Scroll down to find the Twitch Prime listing
- Select the Learn More option
- Click the Sign In button in the top right corner.
After a short wait, your Twitch and Amazon accounts will be connected and you can start enjoying all these tasty benefits.
Twitch Prime perks and benefits
Linking your accounts comes with a number of handy benefits. Chief among these is the ability to get free games, as well as free in-game loot and items, simply by participating in the Twitch experience, with the company claiming different benefits from month to month. Previous in-game offerings have included the Kooky Chocobo mount in Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition, exclusive content from World of Tanks and Apex Legends.
But the benefits don't stop there: Twitch Prime members receive a Prime Exclusive Chat badge and a free channel subscription each month, which is a great way to support your favorite Twitch streamers.
Players can also get pre-order discounts on individual game releases, pre-order price guarantees, and release date delivery for new game releases. Along with the other perks of subscription, like access to Amazon's video streaming service and two-day shipping on Prime orders, the benefits of a subscription are certainly significant.
There you have it, linking your Amazon Prime account to your Twitch account is super easy. Now that you've secured a Twitch Prime account, you can take advantage of the benefits and offers above.
