Buy an Echo or Fire device, get six months of Amazon Music Unlimited for free

Trying to choose between Spotify Premium, Apple Music, and Amazon Music Unlimited is an ongoing internal struggle. (Are we being dramatic? Nope.)

Let’s make it easy: For a limited time, you can get six months of Amazon Music Unlimited for free when you buy a select Amazon Echo or Fire device. Just purchase one of devices below and a link to sign up will be sent to your inbox, even if you’re not a Prime member.

If you were thinking about snagging a new Echo device anyway, there’s literally no better time to place that order. Even if you use another streaming service, breaking your loyalty for a hot second could save you up to $60 over the next six months. *Shrug*

A subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited gets you commercial-free access to over 50 million songs, offline listening with unlimited skips, personalized streaming stations, and thousands of curated playlists, complete with hands-free Alexa commands.

And no, this is not the same as Prime Music. If you have an Echo device but not a subscription to Unlimited, this is why Alexa won’t play half of the songs you ask her to. Luckily, for Echo owners who are already Prime members, a subscription to Unlimited is knocked down from $9.99 a month to $7.99 a month. (The Prime price is $24 cheaper per year than Spotify and Apple Music.)

Here are the participating devices:

• Echo Dot (3rd generation) — The world’s cutest smart speaker now has bigger sound and a more attentive microphone to hear your questions or smart home commands. Echo Dots are great to place in multiple corners of the house to act as one big stereo or an intercom system to communicate without yelling. Get it for $49.99, or save $10 when you buy two.

• Echo (2nd generation) — The OG Alexa device is the perfect middle ground between the Dot and an Echo with a screen. Aside from five fabric and wood exterior options, the Echo sports Dolby audio with 360-degree sound, hands-free calling, and seven microphones. Get it for $99.99.

• Echo Show (2nd generation) — Yup, even the fanciest Echo device will get you the free music. The Echo Show was given an upgrade in fall 2018 to feature a bigger, 10-inch screen, booming audio, and skills to take advantage of the display (like hands-free video calls, recipe videos, and even Hulu.) Get it for $229.99.

• Fire HD 8 Tablet — Not an iPad person? Amazon’s line of Fire Tablets are a seriously awesome alternative — not to mention a fraction of the price. The Fire HD 8 Tablet features a 1280 x 800 HD display, hands-free Alexa, and up to 32 GB of internal storage. Get it for $79.99, or buy three and save $60. (The Fire 7 Tablet and Fire HD 10 Tablet, and also work with the Unlimited deal.)
