I used to share my Prime account with one of my sisters; she uses my address on her account and she's usually here a couple of nights a week, so I think she's legitimately "household." My membership lapsed without my being aware of it last spring, as I had cancelled automatic renewal on principle. But when I went to re-up, I found she would no longer be grandfathered under the old terms which allowed for totally separate accounts.
I could justify Prime when I amortized it over two people, but not just for me. It's a privacy issue, not that I don't trust her with my credit card. I can see where even married couples might not want both partners to have full access to each other's accounts - maybe especially married couples.
The upshot is that I saved $99 upfront plus all the money I would have spent on stuff because shipping was free. Thanks, Amazon! And I'm serious.
