All Blink account holders have the option to link their Blink accounts to their Amazon accounts. Linking to an Amazon account will allow you to see and manage all of your Blink Subscription Plans in one place, along with the ability to activate Blink Subscription Plans through Amazon.

You can check and modify your Amazon account settings, or access them to verify which account you want to use to purchase a subscription plan if you have multiple accounts.

To link your Blink account to your Amazon account from your mobile device, follow these instructions:

1. Open your Blink app on your mobile device.

2. Tap the Settings icon on the bottom right of the screen.


3. Next, tap Account and Privacy.


4. Tap Link to Amazon account. (click here if this doesn't appear)


5. Tap Link Accounts.


You will see an Amazon welcome screen. From this screen you can create a new Amazon account or log in with an existing one. When you have finished creating your account or entering your Amazon account credentials, tap Sign in.



Note: If you have Two-Step Verification setup with Amazon, you will need to enter a One Time Password (OTP) sent to your phone or email address in order to continue. You will then enter that OTP code in the Verify email address page. Please contact Amazon if you have any issues with receiving or using your OTP.


6. Your accounts will now be linked and tap on Next.


You will then see a reminder explaining if you already purchased a subscription plan, it will not be active until it's attached. Tap Done to be taken back to the Account screen or Learn More to read about Attaching a Subscription Plan after it's Linked and Purchased.


The Account and Privacy screen will then display "Amazon Account Linked".


When you navigate to the Blink Plans from the main Settings screen, the "Link to Amazon Account" option no longer displays, since your accounts are already linked.
