What to post in r/amazonprime
What fits the room, and what gets removed.
Works well
- A plain question about how Prime members actually use a feature you are genuinely curious about, with no link attached
- A short observation about the service that invites members to share their own experience
- A full, unshortened link to public information, posted only when it clearly helps the conversation
- Helpful comments on other people's threads where you answer from your own experience as a customer
- Quiet research, reading what members praise and complain about, without posting anything promotional
Avoid
- Posting anything that promotes your own product, service, or content, since “No Self Promotion” gets it removed
- Dropping referral links in a post or comment, which breaks “No Referral Links”
- Asking people for game keys or offering them, which breaks “No Asking for or Sharing of Game Keys”
- Wrapping a link in a URL shortener to hide where it goes, which breaks “No URL Shortened Links”
- Being rude or snarky to members, which breaks “Don't be a jerk”
- Treating the sub like an Amazon support channel, since the description says it is not an official Amazon support site

What r/amazonprime Is For
This community is all about Amazon Prime. People come here to talk about the membership, the perks, Prime Video, shipping, and their everyday experiences as Prime customers. The description makes one thing clear right away, this is not an official Amazon support site, so the people posting are members of the public, not Amazon staff answering tickets. The rules are written for regular customers, and they read like a community that wants normal conversation about the service, not pitches.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Five rules decide what survives here. “No Self Promotion” bans promoting your own content, products, or services. “No Referral Links” bans referral links outright. “No Asking for or Sharing of Game Keys” bans both asking for and sharing game keys. “No URL Shortened Links” means any link you post has to be a full, plain link. “Don't be a jerk” asks everyone to be nice and think of the human.
What To Post
Honestly, there is almost no room for marketing here, and that is fine. The safe move is to participate as a person, not as a marketer. Ask a genuine question about how Prime members use a feature you are curious about, or share a plain observation about the service and see what people say. If you post a link at all, post the full link with no shortener and no referral tag. Read what members complain about and what they praise, because that is real customer research you can use somewhere else.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed here is self promotion, so do not post about your product, your service, or your content. Do not post referral links, and do not use URL shorteners on any link you share. Do not ask for game keys or offer them to anyone. And keep your tone friendly, because being a jerk can get you removed too.
A note from Anthony
What stands out to me here is how short and absolute the rules are. There is no grey area for founders, no soft sell, no share your project thread hinted at anywhere in the evidence. My honest read is that this is a consumer community, and the only respectful move is to listen, learn how Prime members actually talk about the service, and post nothing promotional.
