A friend of mine once found she'd somehow managed to sign up for Prime in America despite already being a Prime member in the UK. She only noticed 6 months later. Got her money back though. To this day she still can't work out how it happened.

I have a USA amazon account and a Japan amazon account. They are completely separate. So yes, it's easy to sign up for Prime multiple times if you use multiple accounts.

The accounts aren't completely separate, it's the same login on all sites and content is shared. But Prime subscriptions are separate.

Thank you for the correction. I looked up on their FAQ for clarification.

Important: If you create a new Amazon account instead of transferring the existing account, purchases won't be shared between the accounts. You’ll have separate login credentials for each account.
