Amazon Launches ‘Advantage No Cost EMI’ Scheme for Prime Members

Amazon India has today launched a new ‘Advantage No cost EMI’ scheme for Prime members. Through this scheme, the e-commerce giant has expanded the tenure for paying the smartphone’s price via EMI. The scheme, which requires Amazon Prime subscription, is available for customers using HDFC bank’s debit and credit card EMI payment options.

You might be wondering that you could already use no-cost EMI on Amazon, so what’s so special about this one? The new scheme brings the flexibility to pay the EMI over a longer period, with no interest charges. While this technically results in a 50 percent savings on monthly EMI, you will be paying the full amount. The only difference is that it will be less of a burden on you on a month-by-month basis. Take a look at the image below for a comparison of no-cost EMI for Prime and non-Prime members.
