You know that you get 3% of the Amazon purchase price in credit that can be used at Amazon? And they also tack on an extra year of warranty on electronic items.
Oh, I forgot about that! I give my 1% to children’s cancer research. It was fun “shopping” for a charity.
That works the other way, too.
Friday, I ordered a CD and chose to have it shipped regular delivery (5-7 business days) instead of 2 day delivery (thus getting a $1 credit for music downloads).
Then, Saturday morning I ordered something else and chose 2 day delivery.
Amazon combined the orders and I received both of them yesterday.
For a mere $99 an year they collect all of your purchasing preferences, viewing habits, and sell that metadata to advertisers
I give my 1% to children’s cancer research.....What does it’s CEO and support staff eat up out of it’s entire rake in? Not being snarky. I gave up on almost all Vets associations, Nat. Cancer Research, anything with UN in it’s headline and all I MIGHT give to is Salvation Army.
No, all books are not available but there is a wide selection.
I’m waiting for the drone service to totally eliminate the horrible delivery services.
Just had it show up on my credit card this weekend - but I sure never recall placing a positive order for it
One of my favorites and it added a whole new twist last episode, just keeps getting better.
Well, I can’t say the same.
Once? Eh!
Twice? They’re outta here!
Plus, a bill this past Saturday from November (paid in the first week of December) showing an outstanding balance when this past Saturday was 23Jan16?
Yes, I’m aware of the perks.
I HONESTLY believe Amazaon Chase was trying to incur late charges as I always pay my charge card bills in full.
Hence, the word “Charge” card.
You see, I’m considered a “deadbeat” by credit card issuers. A “deadbeat” is someone who pays their bill in FULL month after month.
I don’t step foot into a retail store from Thanksgiving through New Years, thanks to Amazon Prime. It is worth the price just for that!
I LOVE amazon prime. been a “member” from almost day one. pays for itself for me in a couple of weeks i buy so much stuff from them for myself and my business. really cool thing is you can send also use it to send free 2-day shipping to basically unlimited number of other people.
i like amazon anyway because their customer service is nearly unparalleled in quality. I rarely have to send stuff back because i try to research really carefully, but sometimes I do, and there’s NEVER a problem.
whenever shipping is late, i call up and get a free month of prime added on.
“All of a sudden it’s taking four or five days to get things that are supposed to be here in 2. I haven’t been able to figure out why I’m paying $99 a year for something I’m not getting.”
whenever shipping is late, i call up and request that a free month of prime is added on.
I guess I am one too.
I do have Prime, but take Rx omeprazole delayed release (40mg) which seems to be much more effective for some reason than two of the OTC 20mg products. Of the retail capsules/tablets, omeprazole magnesium seems to be much better absorbed than straight omeprazole. I also get famotidine from India (almost free) as a backup.
Same experience here.
The free video service alone can replace Netflix/cable. Free shipping. It’s a no-brainer for me.
If you have an *.edu email address, Prime is $50.

Bought a 12 foot stepladder on Amazon Prime last year....for less than it would cost at the local home improvement store, and delivered to the house without the need to rent or borrow a truck. It paid for itself several times over for me.
