Pay an extra 3 bucks a month to avoid ads, what BS.

    Like others on here, I did not renew my subscription for Prime. You could see where they were heading and the cost/benefit ratio is not there.

    My wife shops on Amazon way more than me and she has never had Prime. Not having 2 day shipping never (ad in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1; Here at Target we >>Skip) bothered her and she never watched shows on there other than what you already have to rent to watch even with Prime.

    I encourage others to drop it, give it a spin, see how you (ad in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1; Don’t let psoriasis get >>Skip) enjoy a little extra jingle in your pockets.

      I have prime membership for the 5% off prime card. It pays for membership easily as I shop there a lot. Also, they typically do a 6% discount if I select the slower shipping. Idk.

        If it’s the prime credit card, you get the 5% back regardless of your prime status. Also, shipping is free for non-prime Members, it’s just 4-5 days instead of 0-2

          It’s not the credit card, it’s the less useful prime card that I believe needs prime membership

      You don’t have to pay for shipping on Amazon without prime?

      Here it’s 2,9 USD for shipping unless you spend more than 22,90 USD That price is for shipping to a pickup location that’s. Shipping time is 3-5 business days.

      Priority shipping to a pickup location is 4,9 USD. Shipping time is 1-2 business days.

      Home delivery is 4,9 USD. Shipping time is 3-5 business days.

      These shipping prices are similar to of other stores in my country. Although some stores offer always free home delivery nowadays.

      Prime costs 5,9 USD/month (4,575 USD/month for annual plan). So it seems that prime has a better value in my country.

      (All prices include VAT)
