Cancelled Prime, 24th was renewal day!
btw, did you know if you receive govt. assistance (Medicaid or EBT) the Prime membership is only $5.99/month ? This is the full Prime, not some trimmed down offer.

So discounts for having an '.edu' email or receiving govt. benefits but
no discounts for seniors, veterans, nor active military or 'first responders'.
Thanks for nothing Bezos.

I'd rather that we paid them what they're worth.

I haven't been a subscriber fit over a year now, as most orders arrive with in a few days to my house. The only reason I would rejoin is to binge watch Sneaky Pete, if they make more episodes.

I'm keeping Prime. Even though we probably do enough shopping to justify the cost, the real use of Prime these past couple of years has been TV watching. My family regularly watches stuff available on Prime. Also my daughter uses the Prime-available Amazon Music streaming service.

Sam,
Exactly! Prime is so much more than two day shipping and discounted next day air shipping.
Prime offers some serious bang for the buck. People do themselves a disservice and not getting their money's worth if they only tap into the shipping features.

....so Prime example.....??
....the issue with the streaming content is most is very old shows....tried it and most programming already saw or was not interested..........
....even the shipping.....does one really have to get something 'immediately' with Prime shipping.....??
.....most of the times no......

I'm debating whether to renew. we definitely don't purchase enough from Amazon to justify shipping savings--plus we have 2 nearby distribution centers so we usually get 2 day anyway. Streaming? I've tried a lot of their own programming and only Bosch clicked with me and most of the non-original stuff is available through other avenues that I already subscribe to...

To each their own.
It's not like you quit ComCrap or Spectrum.
