Why Do I Have to Pay for Some Prime Video Titles?
In addition to Included with Prime titles, you can rent or buy from a large selection of TV shows and movies.
The Prime Video Store allows you to rent and buy TV shows and movies from a large catalog of titles that may not be available as part of your subscription, including new movie releases soon after theatrical release. Once you buy a title, you’ll always have instant access to it in My Stuff. To learn more, see Rent and Buy Prime Video Titles.
Sometimes TV shows or movies which may have been Included with Prime could require purchase because of changes made by the owners of the content. Unless we own the rights to the content, we aren't able to control when and if a TV show or movie will require purchase.
Purchases from the Prime Video store that aren’t Included with Prime are automatically charged to the payment method specified for digital purchases. This can be updated by going to the Update Your Payment Method page. When the order completes, purchases are available to view in your Purchases & Rentals in "My Stuff."
