foxbridgeacademy Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'm sure most of you know already, but Amazon Prime is $67, today only, in celebration of their Emmy win for Transparent. I had let my membership go when it went up to $99. Not having Prime has saved me so much money,like around $1000 last year on what I didn't buy, but I've hated not having it. Oh well, looking forward to being broke but having lots of new books! (and other random stuff I don't need). *The kids and I discuss which company we think will end up ruling the world: Amazon, Apple, or Google. My vote is Amazon, they have more stuff. *ETA: Sorry forgot to mention, new members only. So I just used a different email and made a new account. Also a lot of people online are saying that if you contact Amazon and complain that you recently paid $99 then they'll refund you the difference. ETA: some people are also finding that if you were a member but are not currently a member than it still counts as a new member. Check your cart and make sure the price is right. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Definitely Google. My husband designed a shirt that says Skynet in the Google font and colors. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaneEyre Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I don't know how to copy a link with my Kindle, but I read somewhere else this morning that if you are already a member you could gift it to yourself and when your membership runs out you could cash in your gift certificate. I only read that somewhere this morning, so I don't know if it works. We became new members today, so I didn't have to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El... Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 My Amazon page still has the offer in the top banner. Sadly, I already had prime in the past, and stopped, so I'm not new! Rats. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuknam Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 My Amazon page still has the offer in the top banner. Sadly, I already had prime in the past, and stopped, so I'm not new! Rats. Oh well. I discontinued my Prime membership in early August, and Amazon was happy enough to let me be a 'new' member again when I signed up a little while ago without having to jump through any hoops (used the exact account I was a member with less than two months ago). By 'new', they simply seem to mean 'not currently a member'. I was contemplating signing up again anyway, since I didn't realize they'd increased the "free shipping" requirements for non-members from $25 to $35 (so I was buying more random stuff in order to get to $35... the difference between $25 and $35 is bigger than it seems). And I checked out Great Lake Erie from the library here for local history/geography, which the kids really liked, but our library system turns out not to have the other lakes (not even Lake Ontario, even though that's really close as well... today I drove 45 min north and hiked through a state park and let the kids play on the beach of Lake Ontario), which I can rent from Amazon for $1.99 each, or free if I have Prime, and, etc. I'm afraid Prime is a must for me. :( 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondchen Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 That's a good deal! We already get the student rate of $49 per year because DH is a graduate student. Even at full price, Prime is fantastic for people who live in areas in which the only convenient place to buy anything is Walmart. I would pay full price for Prime in a heartbeat if I had to. Totally worth it for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
