Insider Recommends

Deals & memberships our audience asks about.


These are services people in our community already use and ask us about — so we’ve joined their affiliate programs. If you sign up through our links, Benefits Insider earns a commission at no extra cost to you. It’s one of the ways we keep our guides, videos, and tools free.

How this is different from InsiderTrusted™: affiliates don’t carry our badge and don’t go through the full partner vetting our InsiderTrusted™ partners do. They’re household names with programs that reward referrals — we list them because our audience uses them, and we’ll always tell you the catch, including when a cheaper path exists.

Insider tip — read this first

On SNAP/EBT or Medicaid? You may pay less.

Amazon offers a discounted Prime membership for people receiving qualifying government assistance — check before you pay full price. And good to know: Walmart accepts SNAP EBT for eligible online grocery orders. We’d rather you keep the difference.
