I packed in Prime a while ago. Then one day my sister said, “why don’t you join
my family prime and get it free?”
I did that and it worked.
She lives in a different house to me not far away. Anyway.

Now, if ever she orders anything off Amazon I get the orange notification thing on an echo dot at my house. I’ve tried logging in as her account and disabling it but can’t get it to work.

Wondered how if anyone knew how to keep everything separate apart from the prime films bit?

Many thanks. Bit of a long shot I know.

I share my account with the other half. She has her own cards online,

I disabled the Alexa notifications ages ago, can't remember how. Try AI

I think you disable the notifications in the Alexa app, its simple to do

Did you have your own account before?

“ Create or use your own Amazon account (if you still have one).
Ask your sister to invite you to an Amazon Household as the second adult.
Register your Echo Dot to your Amazon account instead of hers”

Yep always had my prime account and its shared

I could be wrong but arnt the share benefits have to be the same
household, you cant do it anymore over two different addresses?

Had an Amazon account(for years) . Was not with Prime.

My echo dots were all registered to me before I accepted her invite.

It’s weird.

They allow different delivery addresses. Which they need to - e.g. stepson is currently at university.
