Who is getting Prime today?

I bought my SMP-N200 streamers in 2012 so I would have the option to switch to Prime.  We really liked our Fire tablets and had 'trialed' Prime at the beginning of the year.  Seemed inevitable.  I came close to subscribing before the price increase.  I jumped on the $67 deal today.  I will be watching it on a TiVo or a Fire TV rather than a SMP-N200.  I am doing it as much for shipping as video.  I will probably save $67 by Christmas.  I am doing it because I am going to be buying an Amazon Fire Phone next month.  Talk about stars aligning.

 

Today from 12:00 a.m., ET, through 11:59 p.m., PT, Amazon is offering a year of Prime to new subscribers for $67.  That’s 1/3 off their regular $99 price!   Prime offers…

Len, I have heard they are going to stop selling the Fire Phone. Has been a HUGE sales letdown for them. I read an article that it has caused them to look again at many gadgets they have coming out. So with all the stock they have left you might be able to get a great deal on one. Just not sure what support is going to be for it though.

 

I agree the $67 only for new is annoying. I wonder what their description of new is. Is it that you have never subscribed before? I use it for the free shipping we have WAY more than paid for it with that in the past couple of years. Last year we did all of our out of state Christmas shopping on Amazon and that alone covered the cost. Then with all the added shipping we got while buying stuff for our house was a bonus. Free is good and it being 2 day and free makes it even better, many times when I search Prime is one of the check boxes I tick off :)

I couldn't pass up the special deal either. I've shopped a lot more on Amazon over the last year & with Christmas coming up (and with living in the middle of nowhere) it will save me a lot of time & frustration. Plus, the Prime video is a great bonus.

I share my daughter's Prime Student account. It's free for a time. When it's close to time to charge, we'll drop it! I can't stand the fact that they are now charging sales tax in Ohio-that is one of the best things they had going before, not charging sales tax. Edited by cwashi3324

It's still a sale. If you weren't having to pay for sales tax in your state at all, it was a gift. I think many people got spoiled because of not having to pay sales tax on a sales purchase and now that reality is catching up, everyone is upset.
