What I dislike the most is finding a product on Amazon that I like (and sometimes it's a #1 bestseller) and want to buy, then noticing that it's for Prime members only.
Would you please provide me with an example of that, I've never seen it. I can't imagine amazon not allowing a non-prime member from buying anything from them.

I know they've done it time to time with new release movies, Prime exclusivity lasting a week or so.

I can see how prime is useful for many people. I tend to almost always buy items which reach the minimum and I've not ever had an emergency (as with the pet food need written above). The Canadian minimum last time I shopped was $25, and we have a household of 5 people with different wish-list items.

It entirely depends on the needs of the person and whether it would save them money. I've thought about it before and came to the conclusion that I wasn't the target market.
The thing about an emergency is, obviously, that you don't know when one will arise. Prime saved me at least $15 in shipping on this one order, in addition to saving me a lot of time and aggravation.

I noticed recently that the Amazon store credit card offers extra perks for Prime members: 5% statement credit (otherwise 3%) on all purchases, or no-interest financing on purchases over a certain amount.

They did that with some of the newer Marvel superhero movies on DVD. The odd thing was that people who were not Prime members could still buy those DVDs from other vendors on the same page of Amazon's website. It didn't make much sense to me.

Rumor? Speculation? For what it's worth:

Quote:
The company promises there will be more deals on Prime Day than you’d usually find on Black Friday—but it has otherwise been pretty mum on specifics. But because I’m a single-minded sales sleuth, I did manage to pry a leak out of one of my deep-cover sources on the inside. I’ll tell you all about that in a minute.

>snip<

According to my inside source—who absolutely refused to divulge any more details than this—these sweet deals will include these two tempting tech bargains:

A quality, name-brand 32-inch Smart HDTV for under $200

Chromebook laptops for only $199

Per se, no, as we don't have Thanksgiving.

And it's pretty much Summer here then.

But, the local retailers are trying to start a Internet Sale day of some sort around that period.

Prime is probably wonderful if you are in the US but as someone from down under it sucks big time, yes we can join but if we do we don't get any price break on shipping, we can not access any video or music(unless we spoof our IP address) so that just leaves the elibrary which means for my $99 I get one free ebook lend a month yippee

My biggest annoyance with it is that I'm a movie buff and collect blurays and they have started adding bluray and dvd titles into an exclusive to prime section so often a new release will only be available for sale to prime members, sometimes months after a title has been released its still sitting as exclusively prime meaning I have no choice but to find another retailer to buy it from.

Now the cherry on the cake they are having a sale that's bigger than Black Friday but only for some of their customer so for me prime=totallynotcool
they are also doing this to coax you into being a prime member.
