Here are five of the lesser-known Prime perks:
<ol>
	<li><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Unlimited Photo Storage:</strong></span> Utilizing the company’s cloud storage offerings, Prime members can archive all of their photos to Amazon’s servers for free. With no limit on the amount of pictures nor any restriction on how many photos you can upload per month.</li>
	<li><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Music:</strong></span> With <a href="http://www.amazon.com/b?node=8335758011">Prime Music</a> you are getting access to more than a million songs, more than a thousand playlists and hundreds of stations.</li>
	<li><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Streaming Video:</strong></span> Amazon’s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/b?node=2676882011">Prime Instant Video</a> has an unexpectedly great selection of movies and television shows ready to watch on everything from TV-</li>
	<li><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Prime Now:</strong></span> Prime customers in select locations can avail of this ultra-quick delivery at no extra charge — so long as you can wait for two hours. (One-hour delivery is available for $7.99.)</li>
	<li><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Members-Only Deals:</strong></span> “Membership has its privileges” might be an old American Express tagline, but Amazon has given the concept new life in the 21st century by offering its shoppers a wide range of perks. For instance, some of Amazon’s most aggressive discounts come via its <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox">Lightning Deals</a>, and beginning last holiday season, Prime members got early access to some of these sales. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/ap/signin?openid.ns=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0&amp;pageId=quarterdeck&amp;openid.identity=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select&amp;clientContext=178-9350914-7819404&amp;openid.claimed_id=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select&amp;openid.mode=checkid_setup&amp;marketPlaceId=A39WRC2IB8YGEK&amp;openid.assoc_handle=quarterdeck&amp;openid.return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.myhabit.com%2Fsignin&amp;&amp;siteState=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myhabit.com%2Fhomepage%3Fhash%3D%26features%3DSigninAlternateImage%2FC%3B">MyHabit</a>, an Amazon-owned website that offers up to 60% off designer brand clothing and home goods, runs daily events that start at 9 a.m. Pacific, but Prime subscribers get access a half-hour before the online crowds. And in the future, Prime subscribers will get exclusive access to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/l/Amazon-Elements/8514636011/ref=dp_csx_lgbl_n_amazon-elements">Amazon Elements</a>, a line of staples made by the company with input from its customer reviews.</li>
