An Amazon Prime membership already comes with several paid-for benefits, such as free shipping and access to Prime Video. But now, as part of the retailer's upcoming Amazon Prime Day sale, members can get many more freebies and perks. I've gathered all the best ones right here that you should definitely take advantage of – if you're signed up for Amazon Prime.

To start, regular Spotify listeners disgruntled by the repeated price increases to the service will want to check out this five-month free trial to Music Unlimited. It grants you access to over 100 million songs, including over seven million in what it calls 'Ultra HD' – high-quality audio that's more than ten times the bitrate of standard definition streaming services.

Bookworms are in for a treat too, as you can get three months of Kindle Unlimited and three months of Audible for free. With these services, you get access to millions of books, audiobooks, magazines, and podcasts as part of the membership – including the option to download and keep some titles.

But that's not all. There's the chance to sign up for select Prime Video channels for only $0.99, download over a dozen PC games for free through Prime Gaming, and even get free food delivery and a $10 gift card through Grubhub.

Not a member? You can sign up for a 30-day Amazon Prime free trial to use all of these perks and freebies. Plus, you get access to this year's Prime Day deals on July 16 – 17.

Amazon Devices:

Amazon Devices: get up to 43% off
There's no need to wait around for Prime Day if you've got your eye on some of Amazon's most popular smart devices as many have already been discounted to record-low prices. There are offers on video doorbells, security cameras, Fire tablets, Kindles and Fire TVs. These prices won't be beaten when the sale officially starts, either, so are well worth securing now in case they sell out next month.

Prime Gaming

Prime Gaming: get 15 free PC games through July 26
Amazon is giving away 15 PC games for free from now until July 26. Titles include the inventive swindler adventure Card Shark, tricksy multiplayer spy shooter Deceive Inc, classic shooter Star Wars Battlefront 2 and the somewhat maligned assassination sandbox Hitman Absolution. It's a decent haul, overall.
