How to Get a Free Twitch Subscription with Amazon Prime (From Outside the US)

What happened to Twitch Prime?

If you’re searching for “Twitch Prime,” you’re a few years behind, and that’s fine, so was this article. Amazon renamed Twitch Prime to Prime Gaming back in 2020, and in late 2025 retired the Prime Gaming name entirely, folding its benefits into Amazon Luna. The perks didn’t go anywhere; only the branding and the page you claim them on changed.

What Amazon Prime members in the US still get

  • One free Twitch channel subscription per billing period. It doesn’t auto-renew….you re-claim it each month on the channel of your choice.
  • A rotating batch of free PC games you keep forever, claimed from Luna’s claims page.
  • “Loot” — in-game content drops for supported titles, some of which require linking that specific game’s account rather than Twitch.

None of this requires Luna’s paid cloud-gaming tier (Luna Standard/Premium), the Prime-included perks are separate from that subscription.

The access problem

Here’s where US Unlocked comes in: Amazon Prime, and the Twitch/Luna perks tied to it, are only available to accounts billed to a US address with a US-issued payment method. If you’re outside the US, you’ll hit a wall at checkout or find the Twitch “Prime” badge never shows up as linkable.

A US Unlocked virtual payment card gives you a US billing address and US-issued card details, so you can sign up for Amazon Prime the same way a US resident would.

How to link your Amazon Prime account to Twitch (2026 steps)

  1. Sign up for US Unlocked and get your US billing address and virtual payment card.
  2. Use that address and card to sign up for Amazon Prime at amazon.com.
  3. Go to twitch.tv/prime (or Twitch Settings → Connections) and select Connect.
  4. Sign in with the Amazon account that holds your Prime membership and confirm the link.
  5. Head to luna.amazon.com to claim your monthly free games and check for available Loot.
  6. Each month, visit your linked Twitch channel of choice and claim your free “Prime” subscription – it has to be re-claimed, it won’t renew on its own.

Why bother with a free Twitch sub?

A Twitch subscription supports whichever creator you watch most, it gets you their custom emotes, sub badge, and ad-light viewing on their channel, and with Prime it costs nothing extra on top of a membership you likely want for shipping and streaming anyway. If you’re already going through US Unlocked to unlock Amazon, Netflix, or other US-only services, this is a no-cost add-on.
