20 ways to get more out of your Amazon account

It’s impossible to deny Amazon has changed the way we shop and do business online. Since 2004, Amazon has grown from $6.92 billion in sales to more than $280 billion. On top of that, there are now an estimated 105 million Amazon Prime members.

What we see today is only the beginning. In just a few short years, Amazon users can expect their orders to literally come down from the sky with help from autonomous delivery drones. Tap or click here to see Amazon’s plans for a fleet of drones.

About 57% of U.S. Amazon customers are Prime members — but you don’t have to be a subscriber to get the most out of your account. In fact, there are benefits Amazon offers to all users that can make your life easier and save you money.

Here are our favorite Amazon perks you just can’t miss.

1. Get photo confirmation of your Amazon deliveries

To stay accountable to its millions of users, Amazon now provides photo confirmations of delivery upon arrival. You can see exactly where the delivery person left your package, so you don’t have to worry about hunting around for it.

Photo confirmations are enabled by default and are taken when a package is left unattended. If you find the idea of Amazon photographing the exterior of your home too creepy, you can opt out by calling customer support at 1-888-280-4331.

2. Price match in-store with the Amazon app

The Amazon app is an easy way to shop and check on your orders using your smartphone. One of its best, and little-known, features lets you scan bar codes in the real world so you can price-match.

Open the app and access the scanner by tapping the camera icon in the upper right corner next to the search bar. Select Barcode on the bottom right of the next page that appears. Companies like Target and Walmart will price-match, meaning you can score that cheap Amazon price in a brick-and-mortar store.

3. Prime members can free up some space with unlimited Amazon Photos storage

If you’re a Prime member, get your money’s worth and use it for more than just free shipping.
