What is Twitch Prime?

Here it is: Twitch Prime is a new premium experience on Twitch that is included with Amazon Prime. As a Twitch Prime member, you get free game loot every month, like instant access to the newest Hearthstone hero, Tyrande Whisperwind, or the new indie game, Streamline. You also receive discounts on new-release box games sold by Amazon during the pre-order period and for the first two weeks after launch. And on Twitch, once you link your Amazon Prime account to your Twitch account, you get an ad-free viewing experience, exclusive emotes and chat badge, and one free channel subscription every 30 days. When Twitch Prime members use their free channel subscription every month, the streamer gets paid just like any other subscription, so this introduces a new way to help support the streamers you love, even if you’ve never subscribed before. Or, you can just use it for crashing subscriber-only chat rooms. Your choice, boss!

Q. How much does Twitch Prime cost?

A. Twitch Prime is included with Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime starts with free 30-day trial, then:

US: $10.99/month or $99/year
Canada: CDN$ 79.00/year
UK: £7.99/month.
Germany: EUR 49,00/year
France: EUR 49,00/year
Italy: EUR 19,99/year
Spain: EUR 19,95/year

Q. If you have Amazon Prime already, what happens?

A. If you already subscribe to Amazon Prime, you can get Twitch Prime instantly for no additional cost by linking your accounts at twitchprime.com.

No ads? Baaaaased

Zombie James · Sep 30, 2016

Amazon releases a new product that isn't US-only. Look at that.

catspit · Sep 30, 2016

This for Canada prime also?

James Scott · Sep 30, 2016

The 20% off deal and free shipping already made Prime worth owning so that's a nice bonus.

VanWinkle · Sep 30, 2016

Wow, not a big Twitch user but those are some nice benefits!

KINGofCRA5H · Sep 30, 2016

If I sub to someone using this, will it auto-renew and charge me? Or does it just end after 30 days? How does that work?

Ken · Sep 30, 2016

Nooooo they put tyrande behind this?

Slixshot · Sep 30, 2016

Amazon is king.

JustinBB7 · Sep 30, 2016

Don't have amazon in holland so can't even use it.

What's up with these prices anyway??

Germany: EUR 49,00/year
France: EUR 49,00/year
Italy: EUR 19,99/year
Spain: EUR 19,95/year

Why is it so much more for Germany and France anyway??

doesn't look like it renews. Just ends after 30 days. Which is nice

Jigolo · Sep 30, 2016

Heh reminds me of google play music which gets you no ads on YouTube. Awesome

amazon prime is sounding amazing right now. 2 day shipping moves music no ads on twitch 1 free sub

LelouchZero · Sep 30, 2016

Very cool!

blamite · Sep 30, 2016

this is actually super legit. almost as good as finally getting the HTML5 player.

anyone know if the Amazon discounts are anything different from what Amazon Prime already has for preorder discounts? I'd assume it's the same thing but...?

SJRB · Sep 30, 2016

Germany: EUR 49,00/year
France: EUR 49,00/year
Italy: EUR 19,99/year
Spain: EUR 19,95/yea

Eh..... what the fuck is this?

JaggedSac · Sep 30, 2016

As an Amazon prime subscriber, this sounds alright.

Legit, surprisingly good news.

Elitist1945 · Sep 30, 2016

I wonder if I can just keep resubbing to the same channel every 30 days?

It seems like the free subscription with Prime expires after 30 days, and doesn't convert into a paying subscription. Instead, you just have to manually re-subscribe. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

Do Italy and Spain get Amazon Prime Video and Music? I don't know, that would explain the price difference though.

Kyne · Sep 30, 2016

this is really cool.

Goth (Destiny streamer) breaking down because he just got hundreds of subs.

This is a cool way to support the streamers.

LumpOfCole · Sep 30, 2016

My Amazon Prime got way better. All Amazon has to do now is make a real Prime Video Android TV app and they'll be A++.

Charles Alan Ratliff · Sep 30, 2016

This is super cool. I just connected my account and chose to use this free month to support Easy Allies.

fossi8 · Sep 30, 2016

Niiiice.. guys which are the games/channels you usually watch on twitch??

Jarrod38 · Sep 30, 2016

Amazon Prime the gift that keeps on giving.

Thabass · Sep 30, 2016

Holy shit this is awesome. I'm big on both Twitch and Amazon. Thank you based Amazon/Twitch.

GitarooMan · Sep 30, 2016

Wow that is super cool, glad to still have prime.

They probably get less services included with Prime?

It's cheaper here in Canada than the US but Americans get a shit load more services than we do. Canada gets 2-day shipping (Sameday in YVR/YYZ), photo uploads, and just today 20% off pre-orders and now this.

I already used Amazon prime before so I can't the trial, unless I just make a new Amazon account specifically for this.

Probably because they have more services in Germany and France

Or they just need to make Prime Video able to cast to a Chromecast. I get that they don't because they want people to buy Fire TVs, but still, it's stupid.

bananafactory · Sep 30, 2016

Genuinely shocked Canada gets this too

They also recently added the 20% off game preorders to Canada Prime accounts

Finally getting some love. Now if they could find a way to bring Prime video/music!

Anno · Sep 30, 2016

Awesome. Now I need to find someone to throw these extra sub bux at for the month.

randomusername · Sep 30, 2016

It auto renews unless you cancel within the 30 days free trial.

jediyoshi · Sep 30, 2016

Man if you already get Amazon Prime, that's amazing for supporting streamers

AaronMT86 · Sep 30, 2016

Does it make sense to drop Twitch Turbo?

well you're out of luck

ChoklitCow · Sep 30, 2016

Whaaaaaaaaaat. Awesome.

Ferrio · Sep 30, 2016

This seems like a no brainer if you use twitch. Went to go sign up with Amazon Prime... turns out I've had a year membership.....when did I do that?!

edit: Anyone not at twitch con getting a crap ton of subs right now lol.

KINGofCRA5H · Sep 30, 2016

found this in the FAQ

Note: Prime channel subscriptions do not auto-renew, therefore you must redeem your Twitch Prime free subscription every 30-days when you receive it to remain subscribed with one specific channel.

superdeluxe · Sep 30, 2016

More Value with that Amazon Prime account.

Alucrid · Sep 30, 2016

RoyalFool · Sep 30, 2016

Nice, just got my hearthstone hero and card back.

Was nice and easy to sign-up for too.

Amazon are ballin it.

Justinh · Sep 30, 2016

This was a nice surprise. I've been a Prime member since like... 2010. It'd take some drastic readjusting to not having prime anymore for me (I buy everything not food online). I wonder if it'd be a problem to give away that loot to GAF, since I'm not interested in that kind of stuff.

fossi8 said:

I'm following/subscribed(if available) to Previously_recorded LIve, SiftdGames, and TotalBiscuit. I used to watch LevelupLive and KillerInstinct by my twitch viewing has gone way down lately. I used to just veg out all night and do nothing all day. I just felt really lazy. (I guess you could say I was too lazy to drive to the store, lol... I spend on average less than 10 dollars on gas a month)

BY2K · Sep 30, 2016

Amazon Prime just got more awesome.
