Do you have this service? I was doing some shopping on Amazon and they offered me a free 30 day trial. also got free shipping on the items I ordered which basically paid for the 1st 3 months of prime if I would have paid for shipping. I also like the free movies That prime offers :)

I just did exactly what you did.  Haven't had a chance to try it yet, probably will this weekend.

I have it and I love it.  I order a lot from Amazon so it's been worth it for me.   I've also used the video feature.   If you don't purchase a lot on Amazon it's probably not worth it.    There have been times I've seen something on Amazon I wanted and would go ahead and order it, even if it's one item because the shipping is free.    I would highly recommend it if you a regular Amazon user.

I have tried it before and its ok.  I like the free shipping however I don't like that they want to charge you for the whole year at one time.  I have netflix though anyway so I just stick with that for the streaming.

I got it during the Black Friday sale this year for $79 and will most likely keep it from now on. It has improved since the last time I tried it a few years ago and I love the impulse buying ability. I saw we had some fruit flies bothering us and ordered a fix that came in two days that was much cleaner than home done remedies. Same thing when I decided to make a restore disk for my Windows 10 computers and grabbed a five pack of USB sticks the right size and had them a couple days later without leaving the house. I like that.

Don't know what I'd do without it. Love Amazon Prime.

I like Amazon prime when it was $69.99 w/ student discount.. Now it is $99.99.. If I feel that I have a lot of stuff to buy or there is a discount on yearly membership I would get it.. If not I could always do month membership on holiday season

I had it and ended it at the 30 day trial period. I love Amazon but don't shop on it that much and don't really watch that much movies. I did however utilize the free streaming ad free music on my Echo which was great. And the shipping was free and fast on most things. So for 1/2 the price of amazon I pay like $4 just for Amazon music. I love it! :)

I have Amazon Prime, the Amazon Fire Stick (cord cutter) and Amazon Kindle Fire. I love Amazon! The Prime shipping is awesome. I also have Netflix, Hulu and CBS All Access. I haven't had cable or satellite for years.

I've used Amazon Prime for going on two years now.  Since I get weekly payouts from one app in Amazon gift cards, and use that payment option on several other sites, I always try to maintain a running Amazon credit balance.  It comes in handy around this time of year for Christmas shopping, and the two day free shipping on Prime has been a great feature when my wife's birthday or our anniversary comes up and I fail to plan far enough in advance!

The video selection is very good (it's not Netflix, but it is still easy to find very entertaining movies and television shows).  Last year when I was down with a short recuperation after a hospital stay, I was able to binge watch Downton Abbey for a week on Amazon Prime.


I saw we had some fruit flies bothering us and ordered a fix that came in two days that was much cleaner than home done remedies. Same thing when I decided to make a restore disk for my Windows 10 computers and grabbed a five pack of USB sticks the right size and had them a couple days later without leaving the house. I like that.



oldbuddy, we just had a bad bout with fruit flies in our kitchen for several weeks.  I think they are gone now, but I am curious what fix you used from Amazon.  I've heard of using the home remedy of apple cider vinegar with a drop of dish soap, but if there is a reasonable and less messy option that was successful for you, I'd be interested in hearing about it!

Yes! They often offer deals for discounted prices for it, too, so stay alert! Worth it if you order and ship a lot ...
