WASHINGTON — D.C.-area Whole Foods shoppers who are Amazon Prime members can start getting discounts on their grocery shopping this week.
Amazon, which acquired Whole Foods last year for $13.7 billion, says beginning June 27, Prime discounts will be available at all Whole Foods stores nationwide.
The company began rolling out the discounts in selected states in May.
Amazon Prime members will get 10 percent off hundreds of sale items and discounts on other select products.
“Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive — in fact, Prime members have adopted this benefit at one of the fastest rates we’ve seen,” said Cem Sibay, Vice President, Amazon Prime. “Since starting this rollout in mid-May, Prime members have already saved millions of dollars on everything from seasonal favorites to popular products.”
Prime members can either download the Whole Foods Market app and sign in with the Amazon account then scan the app’s Prime Code at checkout, or use their mobile phone number linked to their Prime account at checkout.
Amazon says it now has more than 100 million paid Prime members worldwide.
It recently raised the annual membership fee from $99 to $119.
