This probably didn't need its own thread, but I couldn't find a thread to properly post this in.

So I currently have Amazon prime, and my family has been using that as well. Which is fine, but I was just told by a family member that they want to order a Christmas gift for me using that. The issue being that the emails would obviously go to me, ruining the surprise. I can deal with the first order confirmation email by allowing access to my email right after ordering... but then there's the shipping confirmation, and I have no idea when that may pop up. So yeah, kind of a dumb problem, but it also feels silly that their response was that they'd have to get whatever they were thinking from somewhere else. I tried looking in settings but couldn't find an option for dealing with this...

So yeah, any ideas on a way around this, or is there nothing that can be done about it?

No, they cannot order you your christmas present on your amazon account without you knowing, sorry.

e: yeah, you can do a 30 day trial and cancel online without calling, but you do need to put in a CC #.

They can get a new account and do a prime trial. That's it.

Would be a massive opening to scammers.

Or they cna get their own account and since they are your family you can share your prime. That still works right?

Do you all use the same login information? Check out this FAQ about sharing prime benefits, I don't know much about it but it sounds like they could have their own log-in https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200444180

It would probably be easier for them to just do a trial membership

I was just informed that this was taken care of because they found a cheaper and better option elsewhere, apparently.

Thanks for the advice, though, guys!
