The game is free for life if you claim it between now and the 28th even if you don't sign up for Prime after the free trial. Amazon Prime accounts are also valid for Twitch.

Banner Saga 2 will be free starting March 2nd. Caveat: you have to use the Twitch installer, but once the games are downloaded they'll be yours to keep and you can simply uninstall the client.

How do I play this game in the future if I grab it now? Do I log into
Amazon? Into Twitch? Do I get a Steam Key if I grab the game? I am
just trying to figure out if jumping through hoops is worth it in this
case.

I had already bought the game on Steam a few weeks ago when it went on sale (haven't played it yet though because backlog) so I can't answer your question with certainty but it seems that once you claim them they'll be linked to your Twitch/Amazon account and you'll still be able play when the offer ends and even if your account's prime membership is cancelled. Probably a GOG type deal, DRM free/own it forever type thing.

As I said you can simply get a free trial membership, download the game and see for yourself - nothing to lose there. I'll definitely be getting Banner Saga 2 come March 2nd, I hear it's far better than the first one in every way.
