As good as that sounds, there are a few strings attached:
- This offer only applies to orders over $30 on products sold by Amazon.com or Amazon Digital Services.
- You must be an Amazon Prime member ($14.99 per month or $139 per year).
- If you aren’t a Prime member or you have used the Photos app before, you aren’t eligible for the $15 credit.
- This offer is not available to Prime trial members.
- The offer is limited to one per customer and one account.
What is Amazon Photos?
Amazon Photos is safe and reliable online storage for all of your photos and videos, even if your devices (and the pictures in them) are lost or destroyed. Prime members receive unlimited photo storage on Amazon Photos plus 5 GB of video storage. Not a Prime member? No problem.
Five GB of photo and video storage is offered to all Amazon customers (even those without an Amazon Prime membership) who sign up for Amazon Photos — free of charge. But remember, you HAVE to have a Prime membership to score the $15 credit.
Get started with Amazon Photos
Visit Amazon Photos on Amazon.com. From there, sign in or click on “apps” and follow the instructions to install Amazon Photos on your iOS, Android or other device. Sign in using your Amazon account.
Upload files to the Amazon Photos app
Once you sign in, you'll be prompted to adjust your settings and gain access to your photos and videos. You can enable the AutoSave feature to sync your camera roll with your Amazon Photos account automatically or start manually selecting images to add. Be sure to enable notifications to monitor your storage usage.
Get even more video storage
Prime members get free, unlimited photo storage and 5 GB of storage for video. But if you are obsessed with taking videos of everything, everywhere, all the time, you may want to upgrade to get more video storage. If so, here are a few of your options:
- 100 GB for $1.99/month: Stores about 14 hours of 1080p HD video
- 1 TB for $6.99/month: Stores about 140 hours of 1080p HD video
- 2 TB for $11.99/month: Stores about 280 hours of 1080p HD video
How to access photos or videos stored in Amazon Photos
You can see the photos and videos you’ve saved at any time and from any device. Just sign in to Amazon Photos to view individual images on the first page or Albums if you’ve created albums of your photos. You can also print your photos by clicking the print icon in the lower left of the screen.
Become a Prime member before the big sale and save your pictures to Amazon photos to snatch up your $15 before it’s too late.
