I believe you are misinterpreting the promotion. It’s not that you can use an EBT card on Amazon prime. I think it’s just a discount on the Amazon Prime membership for people who have an EBT card. They still have to pay for products like the rest of us. Cell phone and internet companies have similar deals where you get discounted basic services if you have an EBT card.

I bet they are.

Trying to break into what made Walmart so big.

That's how I read it as you can also qualify for the rate if you have a medicaid card.

And who do you think is subsidizing those discounts?

Hint: It's not the company.
