Yes if nothing but for the streaming video alone but the free shipping and stuff too. The free shipping has been great on the 95 orders I've made in the past 6 months. definitely worth it.

It's a bit if a scam but you're kinda screwed without it.
Prices for two day shipping are higher than without. Wonder why.. Prime shipping isn't as reliable as it used to be. I'm having a number of packages reach me 3 business days later now. And prime shipping only applies to certain items distributed by Amazon, not the many third party retailers selling through Amazon. I don't care about the streaming content, there's so much on demand and other services it takes me an hour to find anything to watch(most of it is shit movies/tv) |

Anybody got a discount code on the membership? If you join as an Amazon Student you will get a six month trial which then gets upgraded to Amazon Prime at 50% off. You will need an .edu email account for it to work. |

Yes. But it depends on how much you buy from them.
I have items arriving at my doorstep about 4 out of 6 days. I have found that they are cheaper, there are no taxes, and deliver quickly. I am able to find all kinds of stuff without having to venture out of my mom's basement.

good lord yes. I like Prime Music. I like the automatic photo uploads. I love the free 2-day shipping. You will now forever be pissed when ordered items take more than 2 days to arrive. If you are so inclined, and spend a lot of time in your car or elsewhere, I really recommend audible.com for audible books. I've listened to as many books in the past year, as I have read in all my life. (I used to read a lot before work/job/family/etc....) It really is refreshing to be "reading" books again. |
