Amazon is Finally Accepting EBT for Food Purchases!

Why can't we Subscribe and Save with SNAP EBT?

If you're on SNAP, you're very low income, therefore, you will need to save as much money as possible.

Subscribe and Save allows us to save a percentage (e.g. 15% off fifth item). This helps.

So now I am trying to decide if I should Subscribe and Save and pay for my food with my bank account or if I should buy individual items using my EBT card and forgo the discount.

I think it should work. Why can't we Subscribe and Save and use the EBT card?

Amazon presently says they accept EBT in the following states:

Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming

Hyvee in Overland Park Kansas, said they do not yet accept EBT orders online. Customer Seevice said I should check back in 2020.

At Walmart, you can now order groceries for pick up in-store and select EBT as a payment option. While I was in the store the other night they had a card table by entrance W flyers announcing this and giving 10 off your first order I believe. I will try to find the promo and repost it. I used to do this already but would select the cash payment in store option and just slide my EBT card instead of debit or credit card. Doesn't work for a drive up, sorry guys. Also, I was JW if Target would let you do the same since they accept EBT too? They do offer a GC exchange for a Target GC and trade in old devices service for GC, not sure about cash. Hope this helps. Also to Elaine, since you have Glaucoma and are disabled I would google assistance for elderly, disabled with Glaucoma, or services for. Or check out auntbertha.com or .org, I forget and would try posting a comment on Nextdoor.com or download the app if that's easier, and I also have an app that helps ppl help those who can't see for different reasons with multiple things. I will check the app name and put it in the following post. This is the main reason that we as human beings need to help our fellow neighbors, strangers, those who truly just need a boost for things and ways to be self-sufficient. The TX Hurricane Havey post and research Nicole did change my entire families life after losing everything and not knowing where to even begin on putting things back together but with Nicole and her crew, we were able to get clear instructions, links, and even names and numbers to my Husbands school for who to contact regarding his welding gear, school books, etc. I FWD that post to everyone I knew and Now they religiously view Nicole's page. From the bottom of my heart Thank You and if you ever need anything I am just an email away. I have been trying to go get THHS to add you in their brochure but legal mambo jumbo is holding it in stand still. I will figure a way to get the word out because we all need this info. Sincerely yours, The Ketchers. P.s. Do you have any info on school supply help in 77702?

Hi, I googled about SNAP & Amazon and your site popped up. I’m a bit confused.. I’m older, mainly bedridden because of a genetic disorder causing severe osteoporosis, kidney failure, glaucoma, and other issues. I’m on Disability, Medicaid and SNAP. I live in a very tiny town in the Northern Poconos where the only grocery store who delivers has an extremely limited selection-basically, a small local mom & pop store. We do have a WalMart & Weis, but they’re a $30 taxi ride because they don’t deliver SNAP purchases, pick-up only. In the past month or so, every food item on Amazon I look at has “EBT NOW ACCEPTED” in red. When I go to check out, it always comes up as an option. But when I looked into it on Amazon, it says it’s only available in New York, which is less than 20 miles from here, but it says you need a New York Issued Card. I called them, and the very nice Indian girl I spoke with was also confused because she said it shouldn’t be highlighted like that unless I’m Eligible and her supervisor said the same thing. They told me to try it, but I don’t want to do anything to jeopardize my account. 2 years ago they had some kind of a glitch and my account was flagged, then banned, because they thought I was a “seller”, illegally using an EBT card to get my discounted Prime rate. It took me over 3 months to straighten it out and prove to them I’m NOT “selling” anything; just a disabled older lady who has no other way to purchase certain items and depend on Amazon. ? Then again, that experience introduced me to Chewy and I just wish I could get EVERYTHING from Chewy; they are, by far, the BEST online shopping experience I’ve EVER had! My furry companion agrees! Any ideas of where/how I can get a real answer?
