Legojona Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 More and more, I miss out on great deals as I do not have Amazon Prime (I think it is not possible yet for the Netherlands). I was wondering what the experiences are of the people that do have it and if it is recommended. Next to this, it would be nice to have a thread to track changes to the proposition. I am sorry if this thread already exists, but I could not find it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randrace Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I have been wondering "at what spending level does Prime really become worth the cost." I have done the one month free trial of Prime twice now. Most recently, this December. Using it for the month of December was a real blast, but I'm not compelled to buy an annual membership. I'm a small time guy: $1500 gross a month on eBay. I'm happy to use it one month a year, probably December. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm getting about 3 deliveries a week with no problems and some great TV without sodding adverts... it's been worth every penny! Not to mention the Prime-only deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minicoopers11 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I irrationally signed up for this, out of pure over exuberance, back when it was just free 2-day shipping on select items. I've temporarily gone without it on two separate occasions and regretted it each time. Combine the shipping with Prime Video (more and more and more originals...good stuff) and Prime Only Deals and it's a must-have for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Amazon Music is a must for me too. I like albums, since I'm old school. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 It used to be a no brainer when they charged for shipping and it cost 15 euros. Now shipping is free over a certan amount and Prime is 20 euros here so it´s logically they are starting to limit the special offer deals to Prime members to give them a real benefit over quick shipping. I think it all depends on what you use Amazon for. If you only buy Lego in your own country, it´s not worth it as Amazon only usually price match other national stores. If you want the music, series and you need fast delivery then maybe it works out. If you import from other EU Amazons then I think you need to take out Prime membership in each country but I may be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahuka Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 The 5% cash back on the amazon store card makes it easy to recoup the fee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryherb Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 one can also get half off membership (at least in the US) with a .edu email address... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If you are in a tax free state and use an Amazon Visa or store card, Prime is a no-brainer. I pay for the yearly costs basically with four months of household good shopping without tax and extra 5% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 You also get access to Amazon Photos/Drive which gives you unlimited storage for photos and 5GBs for files/videos, at no additional cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodeogeorge Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Prime is great. I Never even question it. As mentioned, one gets prime streaming movies and music and storage. Oh yeah, they offer free shipping too! Great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbee Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I know this is prime thread, but what about an Amazon Business account?I got an email recently to join Amazon Business for free, not to sell but to buy. It was rather vague on benefits, but on daily deals thread it does look like some price differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Anyone can sign up for a business account. I guess the only hang-up is you need to be a business, or at least have documentation stating you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
