The world of e-commerce sites is huge. It has made our lives extremely easy. From medicine to groceries, from food to bus tickets, everything is available online. For those living in cities, these sites are as essential as water and air. Nowadays, it is difficult to survive without them. Although the spending on them might be helping our economy, the truth is that they are also draining our savings. In such a situation, the question arises whether there is a way or a way to save costs on these sites without compromising on our needs. Yes, there is, and we will tell you about it in this report. Today we will talk about premium membership. Apart from e-commerce sites like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, premium membership is also available on online food delivery apps like Swiggy, Zomato, and streaming service apps like Youtube, Voot, which are cost effective and sometimes bring better quality services for you.

From day to day necessities to fashion items like clothes, shoes, and watches, we buy everything from e-commerce sites. When it comes to premium membership, there are various options such as Amazon Prime, Flipkart Plus, and Myntra Insider. While you have to buy an Amazon Prime membership. The Flipkart Plus and Myntra Insider memberships come with coins that you receive only after making a certain amount of purchases. For example, on Flipkart, you receive coins with every purchase, and upon accumulating 200 coins, you can redeem them for a Flipkart Plus membership.

Membership benefits includes discount on product, free shipping, early access on sale, one day delivery, better customer support, additional offers and many others.

Premium memberships of online food delivery apps like Zomato Gold and Swiggy One waive off the surge fee. Along with that, you get benefits such as no distance charge, free delivery, extra discount, on-time guarantee, VIP access, and up to 40% discount on dining at top restaurants.

Similarly, premium memberships of online reservation platform Dineout’s Passport and EazyDiner from EazyDiner offer exclusive access to top bars, restaurants, cafes, and more. Additionally, you can also get a discount of 25 to 50 percent on the bill at top restaurants.

Likewise, premium memberships of e-pharmacies like Netmeds First from Netmeds and PharmEasy Plus from PharmEasy can be taken. Their benefits include a 5% cashback on ordering medicines, cashback on diagnostics, free delivery, and free doctor consultation.

The same goes for grocery delivery apps. With Swiggy One and Insta Mart or BB Star and Big Basket, you can get additional offers, free delivery, priority slots, and no surge fees.

So you can take premium membership from an online market and save your money. But we will advise you to take premium memberships of only those apps that you use frequently.
