And granted that MR participants are not a random selection of Amazon customers, but you kind of wonder if anyone at Amazon reads **any** of the various sites that do customer reviews, even if MR is too small/specialized for them to find their way to. For me, Prime still pays, for the shipping, for some of the music, and for my husband, who likes watching some (enough) of their videos to make it worthwhile. But I totally get folks for whom it doesn't work, especially as the price creeps up-and-up. And the "not-so-Prime" Prime Day definitely isn't what's making me keep my membership...

So for adding an additional 5 days shipping to my $19 order, Amazon was offering me $0.19 in compensation. Who could pass up a deal like that?
Call me stupid, but I said no. I want the Prime shipping I already paid for. But like I explained above, Amazon changed my Prime shipping to no-rush shipping without my permission. So I called them up and demanded they change it back, which they eventually did after arguing with them for 9 minutes.
Amazon shouldn't be playing games with their Prime Visa customers. |
