Use Amazon for what? That's the big question. They are trying to lure them away to buy things and that's not going to happen.

Do you know two people with no dependents in order to qualify for SNAP can't make more than 1700 a month. Yep. It does varies they take you rent, electric and heating into account before they hand you a cut off amount.

If you have no kids you have to work 80 hours a month tofor eligibility. Max SNAP benefit is around $360 for two but again it takes your budget into account.

Now try to live on that and have funds left over for Amazon and fun things.

People with Kids...well kids are expensive. I don't know how they do it.

They don't go into the toilet paper aisle at Walmart and buy Charmin or Cottonelle unless you got a really good coupon. No you buy the cheap prison paper that cost $1 for four rolls. See what I mean?

Amazon's prices are ridiculous for home goods. No one sane using SNAP is going to buy from them home goods when they can go to Walmart, Dollar Tree or Dollar General so selling a prime membership to entice them is just ridiculous.
