NOTE
This will be my last Prime Day. Because of an ongoing issue I'm having with Amazon Wireless (a Prime benefit), I will NOT renew my Prime subscription in Nov. I'll still contribute to this thread, but I won't be starting any future Prime Day threads. tm |

How to win a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card, just by signing up for the Amazon News newsletter
In case anyone's interested in this huge Prime benefit. Multi-billion dollar Amazon is giving away a whole $250. Sure hope they don't raise the price for Prime to cover this huge hit to their bottom line. Quote:

Thanks, @tubemonkey, for all the hard work you put into MobileRead! I am also soured on Amazon for various reasons... only keeping Prime so that spouse can watch the latest season of Jack Ryan. "Prime Day" seems to go on year-round and is duplicated by all other retailers, so what's the real benefit??

To answer the question: what's the real benefit of Prime Day? Now it's almost none unless you are following items which are not available on other shopping sites. That is pretty much the Amazon brands. |

I may well drop it with our next renewal period.
We're not making nearly as many purchases as in the past (as well as being able to get free shipping elsewhere), and the only other benefit we use at all is Prime Video, and it generally ranks last of other services we subscribe to (though there are a few pearls to be found there). The only Prime Day(s) deals I'm watching for are KU subscription discounts (for existing subscribers), and possibly a deal on the new Fire 11 Max. Last edited by tomsem; 07-01-2023 at 07:41 PM. |

IF you only use Prime for purchases then it is a Waste of Money. Non-Prime gets Free shipping just by spending $35! An in this day in age inflation & all that's Easy! 1 month out of the year you can get a Free 30-day trial of Prime to pick up Specials only for prime members. Like Free Audio & unlimited & Music. Even though the Prime ends in 30 days the Freebies continue.

Now with quite a few stores doing the Black Friday in July bit and some even price matching Amazon, one is not locked into Prime to get a good deal. Other than that $100 invite TV (if I get picked), Prime Day is stacking up to be very underwhelming. Still waiting to see what Best Buy, Target, and Walmart reveal. |

Thanks, I appreciate that. As for the time spent, I'm big on multi-tasking. I frequently post while watching videos, listening to music, or reading the news.
