How To Find Your Blink Account on Amazon: A Pro’s Guide

Finding your Blink account through Amazon might seem like a walk in the park, but nuances can throw you off. Fear not, tech explorers! This guide demystifies the process, ensuring you’re reunited with your Blink setup in no time.

## The Direct Path: How To Find Your Blink Account on Amazon

The quickest way to access your Blink account through Amazon is by navigating to the “Your Memberships & Subscriptions” section of your Amazon account. Here’s the step-by-step breakdown:

1. Log into your Amazon Account: Begin by heading over to the Amazon website or opening the Amazon app on your mobile device. Ensure you’re logged in using the credentials associated with your Blink devices or subscriptions.

2. Access Account Settings: Hover over “Account & Lists” in the top right corner of the Amazon website, or tap the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines) in the app. A dropdown menu or side panel will appear.

3. Find “Your Memberships & Subscriptions”: Within the account settings, locate and click on “Your Memberships & Subscriptions”. This section lists all digital and physical subscriptions managed through your Amazon account.

4. Look for Blink: Scroll through the list of your memberships and subscriptions to find “Blink Subscription”. If you have an active Blink subscription or have previously purchased Blink devices linked to your account, it should be listed here.

5. Manage Your Blink Account: Clicking on the Blink subscription listing will lead you to a page where you can manage your subscription, view device details, and potentially link to your Blink account settings.

   If you’re still having trouble, especially if you don’t see “Blink Subscription” in your memberships and subscriptions, the issue might stem from how your Blink devices were initially set up. Sometimes, a direct link between your Amazon account and your Blink account wasn’t established during setup. In this scenario, you’ll want to proceed to troubleshooting steps, which we will discuss later.

   Troubleshooting: What if Blink Isn’t Listed?

   If you can’t find your Blink account through the direct method, here are a few common culprits and their solutions:

   Account Disconnect

• The Problem: Your Blink and Amazon accounts may not be linked. This can happen if you used a different email address when initially setting up your Blink system, or if the account link was inadvertently severed.

• The Solution: Access the Blink app directly. Go to the app settings and look for an option to link your Amazon account. Follow the prompts to connect the two accounts.

  Different Amazon Account

• The Problem: You might be logged into the wrong Amazon account. This is a frequent issue, especially if you have multiple Amazon accounts.

• The Solution: Double-check the email address associated with your Amazon account in the “Your Account” section. Make sure it’s the same email address you believe you used to set up your Blink devices or subscriptions.

  Device Registration Issues

• The Problem: Your Blink devices may not be correctly registered to your Amazon account.

• The Solution: Within the Blink app, go to the “Devices” section. Verify that all your devices are listed and functioning. If a device is missing, you’ll need to add it by following the device setup instructions within the app.

  Blink App Issues

• The Problem: The Blink app itself might be experiencing technical difficulties, preventing you from seeing the link to your Amazon account.

• The Solution: Try force-closing the Blink app and reopening it. Alternatively, uninstall and reinstall the app to ensure you have the latest version with any bug fixes.

  Contacting Support

• The Problem: If all else fails, there may be a more complex underlying issue that requires professional assistance.

• The Solution: Contact Blink customer support directly. They can help you troubleshoot the problem and ensure that your accounts are correctly linked. Provide them with as much information as possible, including your Amazon account email address, Blink account email address (if different), and the serial numbers of your Blink devices.

  Understanding Blink Subscriptions and Amazon

  It’s crucial to understand how Blink subscriptions work in relation to your Amazon account. When you purchase a Blink device, you typically have the option to enroll in a Blink subscription plan. This subscription is usually managed through your Amazon account.

• Subscription Benefits: A Blink subscription provides benefits such as cloud storage for your video clips, advanced motion detection features, and extended video recording time.

• Subscription Management: You can manage your Blink subscription through the “Your Memberships & Subscriptions” section of your Amazon account, as described earlier.

• Free Trial: New Blink users often receive a free trial of the Blink subscription. Make sure to check the terms and conditions of the trial to understand when it will expire and what charges you might incur if you decide to continue the subscription.

  FAQs: Your Burning Blink Account Questions Answered

  Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about finding and managing your Blink account through Amazon:

  1. I purchased Blink devices directly from Blink.com. Will they still show up under my Amazon account?

  Only if you linked your Blink account to your Amazon account during the setup process. Even if purchased on Blink.com, linking the accounts is crucial for managing subscriptions and accessing certain features through Amazon. Verify account linking within the Blink app.

  2. What if I accidentally created two Blink accounts? How do I merge them?

  Unfortunately, there’s no direct way to merge two Blink accounts. You’ll need to choose one account to keep and transfer your Blink devices to that account. Contact Blink support for assistance with the device transfer process.

  3. I canceled my Blink subscription. Why am I still seeing it on Amazon?

  It might take a few days for the cancellation to fully process and reflect on your Amazon account. Check the subscription details for the cancellation date. If it has been longer than a few days, contact Amazon customer service.

  4. Can I share my Blink subscription with other Amazon accounts in my household?

  Blink subscriptions are linked to a specific Amazon account and are not typically sharable with other Amazon accounts through Amazon Household. Each account would require its own separate subscription.

  5. I forgot my Blink account password. How can I reset it?

  You can reset your Blink account password through the Blink app. Look for the “Forgot Password” link on the login screen. Follow the instructions to reset your password using the email address associated with your Blink account.

  6. How do I unlink my Blink account from my Amazon account?

  Within the Blink app settings, there should be an option to unlink your Amazon account. This action will remove the connection between your Blink and Amazon accounts.

  7. Can I use my Amazon Prime benefits with my Blink subscription?

  While having Amazon Prime doesn’t directly discount or provide specific benefits related to a Blink Subscription, it is beneficial to have the same Amazon account connected to your Blink Subscription.

  8. Where can I find my Blink subscription renewal date on Amazon?

  The renewal date is listed in the “Your Memberships & Subscriptions” section of your Amazon account, under the details for your Blink subscription.

  9. I received a Blink device as a gift. How do I add it to my existing Blink account?

  If the device hasn’t been registered yet, you can add it to your Blink account through the Blink app. Follow the “Add Device” instructions within the app. If it’s already registered, the original owner needs to deregister it first.

  10. Is there a way to control my Blink devices using Alexa if my Blink account is linked to my Amazon account?

  Yes! Linking your Blink account to your Amazon account enables you to control your Blink devices using Alexa voice commands. You can arm/disarm your system, view live camera feeds, and more.

  11. My Blink camera isn’t recording. Could it be related to my Amazon account?

  It’s unlikely to be directly related to your Amazon account unless your subscription has expired or the link between the accounts is broken. More likely causes are low batteries, Wi-Fi connectivity issues, or incorrect camera settings. Check your subscription status on Amazon.

  12. How do I get a refund for a Blink subscription purchased through Amazon?

  Refunds for Blink subscriptions purchased through Amazon are typically handled through Amazon customer service. Contact Amazon support and provide them with your order details and reason for the refund request. Refund policies vary, so review the terms and conditions associated with your subscription.
