The offer will only be available to UK residents who are interested in signing up for the Prime service which offers next-day deliveries among other benefits.

Some of the other Prime services include Amazon Music, an online music service similar to Spotify. Amazon Prime also offers unlimited cloud storage through Cloud Drive.

There are a few other benefits of being an Amazon Prime member and all of them combined provide good value for the discounted price.
