Amazon Prime

[BIG APPLE CAT]

my prime came up for renewal a few weeks ago and i chose not to renew.  i’m going retro and going to stores again.
the biggest thing i’ll miss is the prime discount at whole foods

When checking out, get your phone out and look annoyed at the screen and tell the cashier the piece of trash app won’t refresh. Bet they just give you the ‘scount. I realize you don’t need the money but like, as a social experiment

I can’t convince Mrs. Nicname to leave the evil Amazon Prime.

Since 'clams is oh captain, my captain, I am closely monitoring this thread. I'm 100% sure I don't get my money's worth from Prime, but I'm addicted to fast shipping times.

right when Amazon employees are organizing everyone decides to leave?

I can assure that if, IF, I cancel Prime, it will have nothing to do with that.

Amazons net sales were up 22% in 2021 over 2020 and Q1 2022 up 7% over 2021 Q1. Ain’t nobody leaving lol.

Haven't had it for the past month with no negative consequences.  Ordered some stuff for the first time last night, picking free shipping that should've taken 5-6 days now w/o prime.  Got the alert this morning that things changed and it's coming tomorrow after all.

I'm not sure they have a mechanism to not do prime-speed shipping regardless of what you pick.

I usually get my packages in two days, and I have never had prime.  Also, most of the time the shipping is free unless I order some cheap crap.

Placed another order yesterday; had to order two for free shipping, but that's fine as I could probably use two and if not there's loads of free return places everywhere I walk.  Shipping was to be non-prime 3-4 days but got the email the same day that it's happening sooner and it indeed came today.

Amazon prime shipping - complete bullshit?

Focus seems to be shifting to streaming content.

I would probably get rid of Prime except I've purchased movies on there that are only on that account. Do I still have access to them if I no longer subscribe to Prime?

Yeah, you still have an Amazon account without Prime.

[steve dave]

i do the thing where I group my packages to save the environment unless I need them immediately in which case I tell the entire environment to eat my ass.

Since my family hates to travel, I got the Prime CC a while back. They gave me like $150 and I get 5% back. Only using it at Amazon and I still churn a couple other cards to suit my travel needs. Good deal for us since we don't travel that much and spend a lot of money at Amazon. I think I'm going to cancel it after seeing directly how much we spend just at Amazon every month.

I have a side hustle selling on amazon and people buying crap at marked up prices appears to still be incredibly robust.  Thank you all for your continued support.
