You also get a whole bunch of additional perks as a Prime member, including unlimited access to thousands of movies, TV shows, and books. Plus, you’ll gain early access to special deals and promotions available only to Prime members.

Got your eye on a certain something and want to strike as soon as the price is right? Just set up notifications to alert you as soon as your item reaches a certain price threshold. You can’t set up price notifications directly through Amazon, but you can monitor the price of items using third-party apps such as Price Alert for Amazon.
