EBT Discounts 2026: Prime Access Is $6.99 a Month With SNAP

Amazon Prime Access costs $6.99 a month for people on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and other listed programs, Amazon says on its Prime Access page (updated Aug. 6, 2026). Amazon’s Spanish-language page gives the regular Prime price as $14.99 a month, so the discount is $8 a month, or $96 a year. Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cardholders have more options. The table below sets that against Walmart+ Assist, Museums for All, Lifeline and four other offers, with who qualifies and how to sign up.

EBT discounts in 2026: price, savings and sign-up

Each program name links to its official page. “Saves per year” is computed from the two prices the sources give and is left blank when a source gives no regular price.

How much does Amazon Prime Access save?

Amazon says “Prime Access members enjoy all of Prime membership’s benefits for just $6.99 per month.” Eligible new Prime members get a free 30-day trial before the monthly charge begins. At the regular $14.99 shown on Amazon’s Spanish-language page, 12 months cost $179.88 and Prime Access costs $83.88 for the same 12 months, a $96 difference. Amazon’s page also lists Direct Express, the National School Lunch Program and Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) among the qualifying programs, with others on the page.

Amazon directs you to “verify your income or upload a document confirming your eligibility.” To keep the plan, “you must reverify your eligibility every 12 months.” The table leaves out an annual Prime Access price because Amazon’s page does not state one.

Walmart+ Assist price: what the 2023 release said

Walmart’s July 20, 2023, release describes Walmart+ Assist as “a program that offers customers on government assistance 50% off a monthly or annual Walmart+ paid membership plan,” at $6.47 a month or $49 a year. Those are the prices Walmart announced in 2023. Walmart’s sign-up page could not be read on Nov. 15, 2026, so the current price is not confirmed here; check it when you sign up. Walmart checks eligibility through SheerID, and its release does not list the qualifying programs.

Museums for All, Lifeline and other EBT offers

Museums for All is “an initiative of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), administered by the Association of Children’s Museums.” People receiving SNAP benefits can get free or reduced admission by showing an EBT card and a photo ID, at what the program calls “more than 1,600 museums throughout the United States,” an undated figure. IMLS said in May 2021 that individual admission fees ranged from free to $3. The program’s participating museums map lists each museum; for a different museum perk, see Bank of America Museums on Us on Dec. 5-6.

Lifeline, run by USAC, offers “a monthly discount of up to $9.25 on phone, internet, or bundled service,” and up to $34.25 on Tribal lands. That is up to $111 a year off the $9.25 rate. People who take part in programs like SNAP and Medicaid are eligible.

Instacart and Uber Eats take EBT for eligible groceries and food, but not for the extras. Instacart says “a separate credit or debit card must also be linked to your Instacart account to cover fees.” Uber Eats says “Fees, tips, and any other ineligible charges cannot be paid with EBT.” Instacart’s page offers EBT customers 50% off Instacart+ for one year. AT&T Access applies to households with income below 200% of the federal poverty guideline, and the price shows only after you enter an address.

As of Nov. 15, 2026, no Black Friday 2026 offer for Prime Access or Walmart+ Assist was posted.

EBT discount sign-up checklist

The printable above lists each program with its price and first step. Before you start:

1. Have your benefit letter or EBT card ready for Amazon’s document upload or income check.
2. Pick the program with the biggest dollar saving for you; Prime Access is the only one in the table with a computed $96 yearly saving.
3. Put a reminder on the printable yearly calendar for the 12-month Prime Access reverification.
4. Keep a credit or debit card on hand for Instacart fees.
5. See when your benefits land in SNAP payment dates for December 2026 and how much they are in SNAP maximum benefits for 2027, and mark them on the December 2026 printable calendar.
