Time is running out for UK consumers to secure a generous entertainment bundle offering months of free music streaming and audiobooks. Amazon has launched a promotional deal for its Music Unlimited service, but the window to claim it is closing rapidly.
The Core Details of the Amazon Promotion
The offer is available exclusively until January 9, 2026. Both new subscribers and existing Amazon Prime members can sign up to receive Amazon Music Unlimited completely free of charge for a period of four months. This free access will cover a significant portion of the first third of the new year.
After the complimentary period concludes, the service will automatically renew into a paid subscription. For Prime members, the monthly fee will be £10.99, while non-Prime users will pay £11.99 per month. Customers must remember the January 9 deadline to take advantage of the extended free trial.
What Subscribers Get With the Package
The subscription provides far more than just basic music streaming. Members gain immediate access to a vast catalogue of over 100 million songs, all available in high-quality, lossless audio formats. Listeners can choose between high-definition and ultra-high-definition streaming, with support for immersive sound technologies like Dolby Atmos and Sony 360 Reality Audio.
A key highlight of this particular promotion is the inclusion of a credit for Audible, Amazon's audiobook service. Subscribers receive one free audiobook per month throughout the four-month period, seamlessly integrated into their Music Unlimited membership. The service is fully ad-free and also includes a wide selection of podcasts.
Compatibility is broad, with the service working on smartphones, tablets, computers, Amazon Fire TV, and Echo smart speakers. Users can control playback through dedicated apps or using Alexa voice commands, and have access to numerous curated playlists for instant listening.
User Feedback and Alternative Services
On Amazon's Trustpilot review platform, many customers have praised the value of the company's bundled services. One user, commenting broadly on their Prime membership, stated that "Amazon Music is amazing!". Another noted the convenience of having music, fast delivery, and video in one subscription, calling it a "game-changer."
However, the reception is not universally glowing. A different Prime member expressed that they wished "the other Prime benefits were more useful," and felt the streaming selections for music and movies could be improved.
For those not interested in the Amazon ecosystem, other streaming services are running their own promotions. Apple Music, priced at £10.99 monthly, offers deep integration with Siri and exclusive radio content. Tidal is another alternative, renowned for its high-fidelity FLAC audio and Dolby Atmos support, with plans starting at £5.49 for students.
The final chance to claim four months of free music and audiobooks from Amazon is next Thursday, January 9. After this date, the standard subscription fees will apply for anyone wishing to join the service.
