What Is Amazon Subscribe & Save?
Subscribe & Save is Amazon's recurring delivery program that lets you schedule regular deliveries of everyday items — things like paper towels, vitamins, pet food, or coffee — and get an automatic discount in return.
The more subscriptions you have, the higher your discount:
| Active subscriptions | Discount |
|---|---|
| 1–4 items | 5% off |
| 5+ items | 15% off |
How to Set Up a Subscription
- On any eligible product page, look for the "Subscribe & Save" option under the price.
- Select your delivery frequency (every 1, 2, 3, or 6 months).
- Add to cart and complete checkout — the discount applies immediately.
How to Maximize the 15% Discount
To unlock the full 15% off, you need at least 5 active subscriptions. Here's the trick: they don't all have to be things you need on an ongoing basis.
- Subscribe to 5 items on the cheapest frequency (every 6 months).
- Let all 5 deliver once, collecting the 15% discount on each.
- After delivery, pause or cancel the subscriptions you don't need.
You can pause or cancel any subscription before the next delivery date with no penalty.
Stacking Subscribe & Save with Other Discounts
- + Clip Coupon: Clip an available coupon on the product page before subscribing. Both discounts apply.
- + Promo Code: Enter a promo code at checkout on top of your Subscribe & Save price.
- + Prime: Prime membership is required for Subscribe & Save. You also get free shipping on every subscription delivery.

- Health & beauty (vitamins, skincare, dental care)
- Pet food and treats
