Get Free Shipping and Exclusive Discounts with Amazon Mom

Confession:  I have been a prime member of Amazon for, oh, several hundred years — and a mom for almost two years — yet I am just now learning about Amazon Mom, a FREE membership program affording the same free shipping privileges of Amazon Prime (which normally costs an annual fee) PLUS exclusive discounts on parenting products.

D’oh.

Needless to say, I immediately signed up… and I’m pretty sure Amazon Mom wanted to respond with, What took you so long?, but politely refrained.

If you, too, are an Amazon Mom virgin (no need to identify yourselves; you know who you are), the 411 is after the jump:

Amazon Mom is a free membership program aimed at helping parents and caregivers, from the prenatal days through the toddler years, use Amazon to find all the products their family needs. To join, simply sign into your Amazon account and tell us whether you are a Mom, Dad, or other caregivers of a child. By providing information about your family, you can help us personalize offers, e-mails, and product recommendations to help you find exactly what you need at just the right time. Amazon Mom members receive benefits such as 30% off diapers and wipes, FREE Two-Day Shipping with Amazon Prime, as well as exclusive offers via e-mail.

Benefits:

Amazon Mom members receive exclusive discounts on a variety of products and categories. Discounts and promotions will be e-mailed to your Amazon.com e-mail account or made available on the Amazon Mom membership page at www.amazon.com/mom. Benefits include:

• 30% off select diapers and wipes: As an Amazon Mom, you receive an additional 15% discount on top of the standard 15% discount on Subscribe & Save when you sign up for Subscribe & Save delivery. Subscribe & Save shipping is always free, and you can change your delivery schedule or cancel at any time. No fees, no risks, no obligations.

• FREE 2-day shipping with Amazon Prime: When you join Amazon Mom, you will receive FREE Two-Day Shipping with Amazon Prime for the first 3 months of your membership. For each $25 you spend within a single order in the Baby store, we’ll grant you an additional month of Amazon Prime shipping benefits. You can earn up to one year from the date you joined Amazon Mom.
