Amazon’s Prime Video will begin showing adds during shows and movies early next year, joining other streaming services that have added different tiers of subscriptions.

Amazon is holding its second Prime sale this year ahead of the holiday season. Here’s what we know about the Prime Big Deal Days event next month.

Amazon says it’s increasing pay for contracted drivers who deliver millions of packages to customers every day.

The move comes as the online retail giant works to cut costs across different areas of its business.

Effective October 1, the company will get a 2% cut of every product sold by merchants that are members of Amazon’s Seller Fulfilled Prime Program, or a minimum of $0.25 per item.

Amazon Pharmacy will release coupons that will automatically bring down the cost of insulin on more than a dozen insulin and diabetes care brands. 

Amazon says the feature is now available for some mobile shoppers in the U.S., and the company may expand it to more consumers based on customer feedback.

Amazon's Prime Day event in July was its biggest two-day event in history.

Amazon has begun offering its Fresh grocery delivery service to customers who aren’t Prime members.

This means Whole Foods Market customers who choose to use Amazon One will no longer need their wallet or even a phone to pay – they can simply hover their palm over an Amazon One device.

With a rise in online shopping during the two-day event, experts warn that scammers try to trick unsuspecting shoppers into revealing their personal information or making fraudulent purchases.

The Federal Trade Commission is suing Amazon for what it calls a years-long effort to enroll consumers without consent into its Prime program and making it difficult for them to cancel their subscriptions.
