Amazon Prime - can you have more than one user profile?

ChrisJJ

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this. I've just joined Amazon Prime and am wondering if it's possible for my partner to watch films/programmes on his device as well as on mine.

I'm also a member of Netflix and with that, you can have up to three different 'profiles', for different people. We've found this quite useful.

So, can anyone enlighten me as to whether this is possible please?

Thanks in advance

On more than one device - yes.
Mulitple profiles on the same account - maybe not.

DD has accounts on both, set up our Smart TV to use them and it works fine. We just run the relevant app and away you go. Don't know what would happen if it was being used simultaneously on both devices, but we've never seen a problem and there's a chance that has happened.
Only thing to be careful of is if Prime is set up to buy on a registered credit card without an "Amazon Video PIN" being required - you could easily run up a bill on the account holders credit card!

Thanks, victor2, we'll try that later. Not heard of the Amazon Video PIN - no idea what that is!! Could do without a large credit card bill....

Your partner will have to sign into their device with your account to get access to Instant Video, although you can share the free shipping to have it available to another account you can't do the same with the instant video.

There's no profiles like Netflix unfortunately, although their content is getting better I find Instant Video is generally not that good as a system compared to Netflix.
