Amazon Deals on SNAP EBT Eligible Items — Updated Mar 23rd, 2025

Prime Access is a discounted membership plan specifically tailored for qualifying recipients of government assistance or individuals who meet particular income criteria.

Prime Access and SNAP EBT: Dispelling Common Misconceptions

Many people do not realize that a Prime membership is unnecessary for making purchases on Amazon.com using Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) EBT benefits. However, those enrolled in SNAP, Medicaid, or other approved government assistance programs - or who meet certain income thresholds - qualify for Prime Access, which features all the advantages of Prime at half the regular cost! Nice!

Prime Access: All the Benefits at 50% Off

Prime Access grants eligible members expedited, cost-free shipping; robust entertainment offerings via Prime Video and discounts throughout the year - all at a markedly reduced rate. In essence, it consolidates Prime’s extensive perks - significant savings, seamless convenience, and robust entertainment - into a single membership at half the customary price.

The SNAP EBT program integrated into Amazon Access is accessible to eligible users across the United States. This means that, regardless of where you reside, you can leverage SNAP EBT to purchase groceries on Amazon.com and, where available, Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market.

Key Considerations for SNAP EBT Grocery Purchases

Here's what they offer right now for grocery services:

• Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market Access
  SNAP EBT cardholders can shop on Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market, even without a Prime or Prime Access membership. Delivery fees for SNAP EBT customers using Amazon Fresh mirror those for Prime and Prime Access members:

  • $6.95 for orders between $50 and $100
  • $9.95 for orders under $50
  • Free delivery for orders over $100
    Additionally, free pickup from Amazon Fresh is now available to SNAP EBT users across the country.

  Prime members enjoy free pickup for Whole Foods Market orders totaling $35 or more. All Whole Foods Market delivery orders (for all customers) incur a $9.95 service fee.

• Grocery Staples on Amazon.com
  If you hold a Prime or Prime Access membership, you pay no minimum for free shipping on grocery items from Amazon.com. If you do not have Prime, you can qualify for free delivery by purchasing eligible items or by meeting a specified minimum.

• Payment for Delivery or Service Fees
  Note that SNAP EBT cards cannot be used to cover shipping charges, delivery fees, or tips. You must provide an alternative payment method for these costs.

Purchasing Non-SNAP-Eligible Items

If you want to purchase non-SNAP-eligible products on the same order, you can apply another payment form at checkout, such as a gift card, credit card, or debit card. In 20 states plus the District of Columbia, eligible customers may also utilize their Cash EBT benefits to buy almost any item on Amazon.com, spanning categories like electronics, toys, beauty, home, and kitchen.
