MidwestMama Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 I used to have an amazon prime membership. It expired & we had a student membership. It expired & I rarely use it other than November - December so I can't see spending $80 on one. However, I thought I saw where you could do a month by month membership, which would make more sense for me. I am watching some of the Black Friday movie, cd, & video game schedules & I don't think I'll be able to keep $25 worth of stuff I want to buy with each item that comes up (which explains why they're so spread out) Does anyone remember hearing about a monthly option? I couldn't find it on Amazon.
beccasbank Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 In the Black Friday 2012-Store Specific-Amazon thread, another poster has said the deal is no longer available. They posted a link. Try looking there.

MidwestMama Posted November 18, 2012 Author Posted November 18, 2012 Darn, but thanks! I knew I had read it but started to question my memory! I have a few things to purchase that will get me through a few purchases I have plannedfor Monday. I may just buy some soap or something on other days if needed to get me to the $25 free shipping total.
tinkrbel Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 you can sign up for a month prime free trial here. also posted in freebie section
peppysfireball Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 It's only for people who have never had prime before, not good for anyone else and it's a trial program right now, not available for everyone. If you click on the link and it just gives the 79$ option, you have had prime in the past and are not eligible. I had prime mom in the past, so I couldn't do it. What I did was just get a new gmail account and get a free prime month trial again. It's my 5th one. I wanted my emails to go to my regular email address with my billing, So I sent an invite to my normal amazon account and accepted it. I can now use the prime shipping on my regular account and ignore the new account completely. OVer on amazon forums, those people would be turning me in and calling me names, but on here, most people would do the same thing.
angleyez423 Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 I have no idea what triggered it, but my friend bought the kindle fire the other day during the $129 sale and at checkout it gave a $59 option for a year of prime and she got it. Since I haven't heard anyone else mention this, it probably wasn't triggered by the kindle. Maybe research that option?

I got a notice I could get $20 discount on prime membership if I purchase before some date in November.
MidwestMama Posted November 19, 2012 Author Posted November 19, 2012 I can see the new email address option for the trial. I'm going to look at ads & see if what I want is offered @ stores for similar prices. Try to not get the items from Amazon that I can get in person to save my shipping items for when I need them. The first time I had prime I shared someone from here's account. That price works for me. I only have internet on my phone, I'm not ever streaming video or downloading books etc . It's just Christmas shopping where it affects me & after how poorly last year's toy sale went I'm glad I didn't buy it then!
angleyez423 Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 does she have an Amazon credit card? I got a notice I could get $20 discount on prime membership if I purchase before some date in November.No, she doesn't, but I did see that deal too.
Stowasser Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I have the AMazon card, I don't remember a deal, is there a link to it for Amazon Prime?
tinkrbel Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I have the AMazon card, I don't remember a deal, is there a link to it for Amazon Prime?sorry, just googled it, looks like it ended 11/15. should have appeared as a $20 credit on statement.
MMitchell29 Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Do anyone know if you can still share an amazon prime account with other people?
kardomr Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 you could at the end of the 2012. (that's when ours expired.)
tinkrbel Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Hey folks. I'm looking to renew my Amazon prime and am looking for 4 ppl to share membership with.Cost would be $15.80 per month if I can get 4 ppl onboard. PM me if interested.
speeddiva Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Do anyone know if you can still share an amazon prime account with other people?You can but only the primary member gets all the benefits like Prime Video. I'm on my DDs & all I get is the free shipping,
MMitchell29 Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 That's all I would need is the free shipping. If anyone would like to add me i'm open and available to pay
rachealb Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I had signed up for the monthly plan a few months back and am still on it- maybe they just discontinued it for new sign-ups?
peppysfireball Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Amazon will close your account if they catch you. They have been really cracking down and one person who was the main account holder lost his entire digital content. Only family members who live in your home are allowed to share your prime account. The monthly plan was a trial basis for certain people only and if it isn't an option you can't have it. I have never seen it since., so it must not have worked out well. I would sign up for it if it was, but I have never paid for prime. I have several amazon accounts and just keep getting free trials. plus my amazon mom.

Seems like wording has been updated: "Free or paid Amazon Prime members can share their shipping benefits with up to four additional family members living in the same household, or up to four coworkers."

Seems like wording has been updated: "Free or paid Amazon Prime members can share their shipping benefits with up to four additional family members living in the same household, or up to four coworkers."It states somewhere that the co-workers must all ship to the same business address. I've heard stories where they are closing the account and billing the main holder for all shipments.
