In addition to earning commission on regular product sales you drive on amazon.com, promote Lead-Up deals from select services such as Amazon Music Unlimited, Prime Video, Kindle Unlimited and Audible, and you will also earn fixed commission income (or bounties) for every qualifying free trial and/or membership signup.

You will earn bounty for every qualifying Prime Free Trial signup you drive via amazon.com/primeday and amazon.com/tryprimefree. Remember to add your associate tracking ID to all links so you don’t miss out on earnings. - Where do I go to retrieve details on Lead-Up and Prime Day deals?
