11/18 ONLY: Amazon Prime 1-Year Membership $79.99 for new Prime members only

[Taikero]

Amazon is offering an Amazon Prime 1-Year Membership for $79.99, so long as you are a new Prime member.

If you are already an Amazon Prime member, I believe you cannot partake in this deal.

If somebody knows of a realistic workaround, I'm sure the community is all ears. I know I'd appreciate another year for $79.99.

doesn't look like a movie/tv deal to me but I'm sure the mods will find a place for this in the retail/shopping sub forum

I saw that it said for New Members Only, but I tried putting it in my cart for the heck of it last night, and it automatically took the $20 off at checkout. I had just cancelled my Prime subscription in September after the year was up.

You can buy it as a gift. So have someone you know gift it to you and you can gift them a year back. Obvious things like the same credit card or someone on your account will cause problems.

Really curtailed my Amazon spending when they raised the super shipper savings. Now everyone else gets my money.

I don't think this counts towards past members. You literally have to be a brand spanking new born Amazon account user.

If you add it to your cart, it explicitly states: "Gift options not available"

I think you literally have to cancel your Prime membership in order for it to go through.

I'm an existing Prime member on auto-renew. I just got off a Chat asking for the difference to be credited back to me, even as a GC if it would make it easier. I was told there is nothing they could do. Total BS treating new customers better than existing loyal one's.

Agreed, but that's every business. Have you tried renegotiating your cable contract recently?

So happy I can now sleep better at night because of this information.

I really don't know what I would've done without it.

[Chiefy]

I haven't needed to. I cut the cord two years ago, and am happy having the extra $80+ in my pocket every month. Well, it goes to buying movies, so it's in and out of my pocket.

Yep it's about as useful as your reply to it. As far as amazon not working with you it's not surprising one of my items dropped 2 bucks before it had shipped and I was told they couldn't help me.

Haha, I cut the cord years ago too - precisely because of BS cable rate increases and better deals for new customers than existing ones - but it was a good example nonetheless. That's unfortunately just the way companies work.

And you added another amazing piece of information.

Thank you also, good sir.

People love to read stuff they already know, so no worries. Your contribution was warranted and interminably informative.

You do the same.

As was yours

I was removed from my friend's Prime account in September. I was waiting for a sale. Worked for me just fine. Thanks, OP!

They changed it this year. Last year I worked with someone to gift it to each other. BFads.net had the wrong info and has changed it. "Sorry for the confusion everyone -- originally we thought people would be able to gift the membership, but it looks like Amazon changed that this time around." Guess I won't have to try it tonight."
