I haven't seen this before, and a quick search didn't find it on here.
You can share your prime benefits (kindle lending library, free delivery, video streaming, digital content) with 1 adult and up to 4 kids in the same household. Obviously a lot of people effectively did this by running everything on one account, but some privacy is nice - and my birthday presents can finally arrive on time :)

How's this hot? You used to be able to share Prime delivery with up to 4 people, now it's just one and you have to agree to share stored payment cards.

"Amazon Student Prime members (free trial or paid) or invited guests of other Prime members can't share their benefits. However, other types of Amazon Prime members can share eligible benefits with those types of members."
That's a shame.. Still hot though!

Think you have to share payment details with other party.
Might bother some.

I share prime with my sister (I'm the secondary one).
Not once have the payment details been shared, and with books you can choose whether or not to share them when you purchase them.

Although you are right, it is nice to have the occasional thing like this in Deals as it gets out to a much wider audience.

i think payment methods are shared if you want to share some benefits (might be books & videos, but you get delivery anyway). It mentioned that when I signed up but I can't remember for sure. The actual details (ie card number) isn't shared.

I'm still using the 1 + 4 adults since over a year. Not sure if the changes are for newer accounts

No, but you can share your kindle libraries etc. which can be handy.
Tbf, my wife just uses my account for anything needing urgently delivered and it's my account logged into all the devices for prime video (not that it received much use).

Just to comment on this; if you had them in before you started a Prime student membership, they still have the same things.

I shared my Prime before the change so that was the delivery and Amazon Video but not Kindle books, etc. If I restarted my account now I'd share the new stuff but I'd be sharing my payment methods too.

"Creating an Amazon Household
Learn how to Add an Adult to Your Amazon Household. To find out more about creating and managing child profiles, see our Help page about Family Library.
Note: To share content and Amazon Prime benefits, both adult account holders need to authorise each other to use payment cards associated with their Amazon accounts for purchases at Amazon. This won't affect either of their current payment settings, but each adult will be able to copy the payment cards of the other account to his or her Amazon account and use them for purchases at Amazon."

I agreed to that when I became linked to my sister's prime account but in reality I have absolutely no access to her payment details, nor her to mine.
One other thing of note is that I only seem to get the prime delivery & Amazon prime promotions but I don't get the video streaming services, I think only the initial prime account holder gets the video streaming services.
I'm not complaining though as for me it's free!
I like Amazon, but I could never justify £80 a year ontop of whatever I am buying just for the convenience of next day delivery.
I use Amazon a lot, but more and more products are 'add-on' items with a minimum £20 spend and I've noticed that frequently their prices are more expensive than other online, or even in-store, shops.
Amazon used to be have good prices but they're now seemingly relying heavily on people being lazy an/or wanting next day prime delivery.
