Amazon is ending a program that let Prime members share free shipping benefits with people outside their household.

Instead, Amazon is encouraging users who don’t live with the account holder to pay for their own Prime subscription, offering them a one-year subscription for $14.99.

Amazon last raised its Prime membership fee in 2022, when it increased to $139 from $119. By ending the Prime sharing program, called Prime Invitee, the company is nudging users who don’t live with a Prime member to subscribe to their own Prime membership.

“The Invitee program, which enabled sharing of the Prime shipping benefit only, is being phased out, and Prime members can instead share a broad range of Prime benefits with Amazon Family,” an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News.
