Has anyone noticed a significant drop in their Prime Service? I am regularly ordering stuff that takes well beyond the 2 day shipping to deliver. I noticed more of their items are becoming fullfilled by a third party as well.

I definitely won't pay the equivalent of Netflix streaming price for a year. Prime's streaming selection is quite small by comparison. They haven't added anything new in like 2 months either.

I still don't get the 7.99 offer. When I click on Prime, it brings me to one page and the only option available is $79 - with one button to charge my credit card. Oh well.

Go find another corner to slang your BS on.

same here, my sub runs out next month I will let it auto renew. The yearly price is still $79 right? the price on it hasn't gone up?

Strange how a question made it into the deals section. In any case, sticking with the yearly membership, but can see how a monthly, but more costly one, would be good for some. But again dont see how its a deal either, just a new option for prime membership.

Stupid question but when is the best time to start a one year subscription? January 1 or right now in November? I know it is for a full year and largely a matter of preference, but I was curious (kinda like if you prefer your credit card statement to end at the beginning or end of the month).

Available for me & I've never bought Prime, only did a 3 month trial a couple years ago.

Available for me, never used Prime before.

How is the prime video service VS netflix?

And this must be for only for NEW customers. Only shows me the $79.99 option as well.

Didn't they just add all the Star Trek shows/movies? That's enough (mostly) exceptional content to keep you busy for a year, it lasted me a year and a half.

After creating a account under my wifes name, it shows the trial plus the $7.99 a month option. Maybe my thinking this is only for new customers was right.

I wonder if Amazon plans to extend this to current customers that do not have prime.

I have had 2 prime trials one in 2008 and one sept. of this year and I was offered the $7.99 a month deal. My amazon account was created in 2007 so I don't think its for new customers only. I guess if you ever had a real amazon prime membership it is possible you wouldn't get this deal.

Yeah, I had prime for a year and then cancelled. It's all good. I'm not sold on the instant streaming because they basically have the same shows Netflix does. But since I have been paying Netflix $8 a month for streaming only for the last 6 years, I may stick with paying Amazon $8 a month just to take advantage of the free 2 day shipping again. Maybe that would prompt me to actually buy stuff from Amazon again.

got it to work

I tried different browsers and it made no difference. Well, you better make that war happen quick because come December 12, 2012....The apocalypse will happen. LMAO

Not a bad deal, Wish I saw this earlier :( signed up last week with the student pricing so I could get some BF/Christmas shopping done but this would have been better, I don't really order too much from amazon itself, but more from the third party ppl. Oh well, Prime instant video isn't so bad! (given the somewhat limited selection)

thanks. I logged out, and then used the link you posted. that is the only way the 7.99 option would appear for me. I tend to do most of my amazon shoping around the holidays, when the shipping time is more important.

rest of the year when I do buy, I usually just pad orders for the free super saver shipping.

I do have the option, hope it's still there in a couple weeks as I'd rather start my month right before Black Friday so I can use it for all my Christmas shopping.
