VANCOUVER – Telus announced today some of its Optik TV customers in B.C. and Alberta can choose Amazon Prime as a benefit with their service.
Optik TV customers who already have four or more programming theme packs can now also choose Amazon Prime membership (which comes with Prime Video) as a benefit in their Optik TV package, courtesy of Telus. It’s almost like Amazon Prime is a new, free specialty TV tier, but with free delivery of stuff bought through Amazon.
With their free Prime membership (which is normally $7.99 per month), customers can shop with free, fast shipping and gain direct access to the Prime Video app to watch thousands of popular movies, TV shows, and Amazon Originals like Fleabag and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. To access the app, customers have to navigate to the Optik TV app home page or turn to channel 424.
“We are relentless about providing Optik TV customers with the best entertainment experience in Canada. By offering Amazon Prime in Optik packages, customers enjoy seamless access to all that a Prime membership has to offer,” said Zainul Mawji, president, home solutions.
“Optik TV customers who add Amazon Prime to their TV package will also have unlimited access to ad-free listening of over two million songs on Amazon Music Prime, hundreds of books with Prime Reading, free in-game loot and games with Twitch Prime, free unlimited photo storage with Amazon Photos, early access to select Lightning Deals, Prime Day, and more,” adds the release.
Optik customers who don’t have four theme packs can also log into and access their personal Prime membership through the Prime app on the Optik box and stream Prime Video that way as well.
