Obviously, I don't buy more than I need just to get a credit but if I'm buying several items I do order them in groups that maximize the shipping credits.
OR
It may not be the total $ but the number of items that triggers the offer.

My last two transactions at Amazon were a single-item order for just under $300, and a multiple-item order for just over $100. Neither time did I get any offer for using no-rush or Amazon Day shipping.

It seems to be totally random most of the time. I got the offer on one item for under $10, but not on another order for an item that was $20+. At this point I doubt even they know what qualifies, and the algorithm deciding it's basically a virtual coin flip.  |
It seems random to me too.
As far as the Prime subscription, though, I feel like I'm easily getting my money's worth. When the pandemic started, I began using Amazon Fresh for grocery delivery, and with Prime the $10 delivery fee for each order is waived; Prime's paid for itself because of that alone.
