Time is running out for UK music and audiobook fans to secure a generous free trial from a major streaming service. Amazon has launched a promotional offer granting new subscribers four months of Amazon Music Unlimited at no cost, but the window to claim it closes soon.
Limited-Time Offer Details
The promotional deal is available to both Amazon Prime members and non-members alike. However, the opportunity to sign up for this free access period ends on Friday, 9 January 2026. After the four-month free trial concludes, the service will automatically renew at a standard monthly subscription fee. For Prime members, this will be £10.99 per month, while non-Prime customers will be charged £11.99 monthly.
The service boasts a vast library of over 100 million songs, available in high-quality, lossless audio formats. Subscribers can enjoy their music in high or ultra-high definition, with additional support for immersive sound technologies like Dolby Atmos and Sony 360 Reality Audio for a surround sound experience. A key benefit of the offer is the inclusion of one free audiobook per month from Audible, alongside ad-free music playback and a selection of podcasts.
Compatibility and User Experience
Amazon Music Unlimited is designed to work across a wide range of devices, ensuring users can listen wherever they are. The service is compatible with smartphones, tablets, PCs, Amazon Fire TV, and Echo smart speakers. It features ready-made playlists curated for different moods and activities, allowing listeners to start streaming immediately.
Users can control their music through a dedicated app or use hands-free voice commands via Alexa on supported devices. The service also offers various music player widgets for different platforms, enhancing ease of use.
How It Compares to Other Services
While the Amazon promotion is prominent, other streaming services are also vying for listeners' attention. Apple Music, priced at £10.99 per month, integrates seamlessly within the Apple ecosystem, offers Siri voice control, and includes exclusive radio and podcast content.
Alternatively, Tidal emphasises premium sound quality with FLAC files and Dolby Atmos, charging £10.99 for a standard plan or £5.49 for students. It also provides ad-free, downloadable listening with personalised mixes.
Customer reviews on Trustpilot highlight positive experiences with Amazon's services. One user stated, "Amazon Music is amazing!", while a Prime member noted the overall convenience, saying, "It's the epitome of convenience... I can't say enough good things." Some feedback pointed to a desire for a broader selection in the streaming libraries, but overall sentiment appears favourable.
With the deadline fast approaching, consumers interested in exploring a vast music catalogue and monthly audiobooks without an initial fee are urged to act before 9 January to claim this four-month free trial of Amazon Music Unlimited.
