Darth Lego Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I stopped buying anything from Amazon after Target started price matching Amazon. I don't have to pay for Prime, and the 5% Redcard discount sweetens the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Another way to lock in amazon Prime for $79.http://lifehacker.com/get-another-year-of-amazon-prime-for-79-even-as-a-cur-1543360940http://abcnews.go.com/technology/t/blogEntry?id=22915500&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F Get Another Year of Amazon Prime for $79, Even as a Current Subscriber SExpand Amazon today announced that the annual price of Amazon Prime will increase from $79 to $99 next month, and though it's still arguably the best deal in tech, it'd be nice to get one more year at the old price. P At first, it seemed that there was no way for current subscribers whose subscriptions weren't expiring before April 17 to renew in advance at the old rate, but it turns out there's a clever workaround:P Disable auto-renew on your Prime account. Update: It seems like Amazon might have temporarily removed the option to cancel your membership online. If you're having trouble, you can still follow the rest of the steps and cancel your auto-renewal at a later date, either when the option is restored or through customer service. Purchase a gift subscription here for $79 Set it to deliver to your own email address on the day that your current year of Prime lapses. Just follow these steps, and you'll get an email with a credit for a brand new year of Amazon Prime as soon as your current membership lapses, and save yourself $20 in the process. As always, be sure check out our daily Lifehacker Deals posts to make the most of your subscription.

Isn't it a monthly commitment versus a full year commitment, and hence the full year getting 25% off? Though 75%*$132 > $99, so the savings should be listed as 30%.

Darth_Raichu Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Amazon is smart. They closed the $20 off Prime loophole for existing users while potentially getting new victims people to sign up for Prime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V22driver Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I'm not sure if people are aware of this but Amazon offers a store credit card that gives 5% cash back on all purchases if you have Amazon Prime. Not something they advertise very well but it is out there. I just found out about it the other day and I know a lot of other prime members did not know this option was out there. They also give you a 20 dollar credit for signing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exciter1 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Looks like we can thank the recent influx of price guarantee apps that have started up recently for the demise of Amazon's 7-Day Price Protection on items other than TVs. http://techcrunch.com/2016/05/23/amazon-kills-its-price-protection-policy/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
