Relative to Amazon not having its usual discount on Prime for the Emmy awards....
It turns out there is an offer right now via the Swagbucks site for 1,000 Swagbucks (equivalent to about $10 in gift cards, depending on the brand) with purchase of a $99 Prime membership. The offer says it excludes "existing Prime members" - I don't know if this means simply "not current" Prime members, or means "not ever had" Prime. Not as good as a discount to $68, but something...
I myself had let my Prime membership lapse, and was looking to renew since I had some stuff I wanted, so I've tried this. I'll report back once I find out if I got the Swagbucks - sometimes it can take a few days.
For those not familiar with Swagbucks, it's an "earn points towards gift cards via searching, shopping, surveys, etc." site - very similar to Bing, but I don't like Microsoft. I've gotten a lot of Amazon gift cards through the site, just by searching and shopping - the surveys are too much of a time sink. I've found that their searches aren't quite a sharp as Google's, but usually good enough, and if I don't find what I want with their search, I occasionally use Google.
Obviously to get this, you have to go through the Swagbucks site. Here's the link:
