You cannot directly transfer ownership of an Amazon Prime account to another person. Amazon does not offer a feature for changing the account holder.
Alternatives to transferring ownership:
- Cancel and Resubscribe: The easiest way is to cancel the Prime membership on the existing account and have the new owner subscribe to Prime using their own Amazon account.
- Amazon Household: You can link your Amazon account with another adult's account through Amazon Household, which allows you to share Prime benefits, including streaming, music, and other perks. However, both accounts remain separate, and the original account holder remains responsible for the membership fee.
- Gift Membership: You can purchase an Amazon Prime gift membership for the new owner, giving them access to Prime benefits for a specific period. This allows them to enjoy Prime without changing your account details.
Important Considerations:
- Amazon Seller Account: If you are referring to an Amazon Seller account, these are not transferable. You will need to contact Amazon to discuss the options for transferring the account.
- Specific Devices: If you are talking about transferring Prime access on a specific device like a Fire TV Stick, you can deregister the device from your account and have the new owner register it with their account.
Remember, when transferring ownership, it is important to communicate with the new owner clearly and ensure they understand the process and any associated costs.
