The Fire Phone is the most expensive way to get a year of Amazon Prime

You may still basking in the afterglow of a new phone announcement, but there are a lot of details to go over. One of the things that may have been overlooked is the Amazon Prime promotion. For a limited time Amazon will be throwing in free year of Prime if you buy the Fire Phone. If you’ve ever wanted Prime this is the most expensive way to get it.

Here’s the deal: your free year of Prime begins when you go through the set-up process on your new Fire Phone. It starts immediately and ends a full year later. Existing Prime subscribers will have the free year tacked on to the end of their current year. Once your current paid year ends the new free one will begin. If you return your Fire Phone your free Prime subscription will be cancelled. If you have more questions check out the FAQ.

Prime is a great service if you buy a lot of stuff from Amazon. You get free two-day shipping on most items, access to streaming movies and TV shows, plus their new music service. If you’re interested in trying Prime for free without a Fire Phone you can do so for one month, and $99 per year after that. It’s a great deal.
