Beginning Oct. 1, Amazon will switch Prime customers from its Prime Invitee Program to the new Amazon Family Program, which limits shared free shipping and additional benefits with other adult members.

Under the new arrangement, Prime members will be able to share benefits with only one other adult, and up to four children in the household, as well as up to four teens—if they were added before April 7, 2025.
