Satan Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Is this a one year only gig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Still not interested. If I can wait 2 days for something, I can wait 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemongoat Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Still not interested. If I can wait 2 days for something, I can wait 5. Prime Video and Prime music are both awesome isavedlatin54, DecayToDeath, xgrantx and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Prime Video and Prime music are both awesome If I could dump my library into their cloud like I do with Google Play Music I'd probably switch to Prime Music. I have it, I just don't use it. Their original programming has gotten better. Hopefully the make series out of both Peeky Blinders and Casanova.

chamb117 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 also worth it if you share/split your account; i know my fiancee shares hers with her parents, siblings and siblings-in-law. they each pay like $11 and all benefit from the free shipping all year. edit: also, i tried the prime 30-day trial and quit before it automatically enrolled me, and when i go back to "try prime," amazon offers it to me at half off ($49). so it may be worth trying for someone else.

Satan Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 id try all of this, but i rarely buy anything from amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 video streaming is worth it alone. u can't get a year of netflix for $67.Id rather pay the extra money to have the selection that Netflix has. Prime streaming isn't very good in my opinion. AlexH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I'm in Canada and have Amazon Student free for 3 months, which is the same as prime, but at a discount. All I had to do was type in my school email. It's not even the email linked to my account though, so realistically anyone can get the free 3 month trial of you know an email being used by someone going to school.

I think it's just as good. The problem I feel is that its way more frustrating searching for a show and it not being eligible rather than it just not showing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 video streaming is worth it alone. u can't get a year of netflix for $67. I wouldn't go that far, the only person who really uses their streaming service in our home is our 4 year old daughter. Team Umi Zoomi and shit. Otherwise there's nothing really worth watching on there. I'm hopeful their original programming will continue to improve. That Rob Delaney show is pretty funny.

Rip Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Awesome. Mine expires next month so hopefully I can renew it that day for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdwell Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I don't own a computer. I use my Blu-Ray Netflix App for streaming Netflix. I don't ever order anything off of Amazon that isn't used product from a seller....if Prime gave free shipping across the board i might bite. I heard Prime-Day was filled with useless bullshit. Also...why the one lump-sum payment instead of being able to divvy it up over the year? If I made more money and had more to spend on useless shit I didn't need is be all over this. I'm fine with my Netflix, I rarely order anything from Amazon to begin with, and I can't imagine any of that changing within the next 12 months....I damn know I'm not going to magically start making exponentially more money to justify a purchase like this.

Tardcore Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Still not interested. If I can wait 2 days for something, I can wait 5. But if you have prime, you can opt out of 2 day shipping and get a $1 credit for digital stuff (music/movies/books). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that they changed their account sharing to be strictly within a single household. They did it without telling anyone and so as account renewals come up shared accounts outside of a single household will be canceled. Am I crazy or did this happen? If so, this would be a good option if you're on a shared account (like me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I think its still avail. The account has a primary ship address but I still think you can select other addresses as "gifts" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The account has a primary ship address but I still think you can select other addresses as "gifts" right. this is essentially what my fiancee and her family does, as far as i know -- although i can't say for certain because i don't go check the order history or anything. i know there are like eight different cards and addresses on the account, though. they're not too discreet about it.

Up to four children can be added to the account and they can have their own book, video, and music libraries, but cannot make purchases. Existing accounts are grandfathered in until account renewal. My wife and I share an account with her parents and brother. We will be getting our own account on Friday. The machine wins again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was before whatever day they secretly changed the rules (late August I believe) then she is grandfathered in for another year. Our shared account is up in December, just in time for all of the Christmas shopping I'm sure we will be doing on Amazon. For me, the sale tomorrow is worth it.
