GoKawiilSpectrum bundles free Amazon Prime into its low-income internet plan
Spectrum is now offering a complimentary Amazon Prime subscription, normally priced at $14.99 monthly, to customers enrolled in its Internet Assist program for low-income households and seniors. Eligibility includes recipients of SSI, SNAP, Medicaid or the National School Lunch Program, and both new and existing Spectrum internet customers can claim it regardless of which internet tier they use. The perk arrives shortly after Spectrum reported losing 172,000 internet subscribers in its latest quarterly earnings.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The timing suggests Spectrum is using the Amazon Prime tie-in to retain and attract subscribers amid steady customer losses, leaning on a major streaming and shipping brand to sweeten its discounted internet service. For eligible low-income households, the bundle effectively erases the cost of Prime, though early reports of a 'Service Unavailable' error suggest the rollout may still be incomplete.
- Spectrum Internet Assist customers can now get Amazon Prime free, saving $14.99 monthly.
- Eligibility covers SSI, SNAP, Medicaid and National School Lunch Program participants.
- Some customers report the sign-up page currently shows a 'Service Unavailable' error.
