Prime for The People!

Having a Prime Card doesn’t depend on your previous financial history, where you are from, or a bank account. Anyone* over 13 can have one (*sorry younger readers - you need to be over the age of 13 to use and over 18 to buy one). You can order one now, online, or buy it at the corner shop. Over 6,000 shops in the UK will be glad to help. See Store Locator for details of your nearest supplier.
