yup, thats how it works, you get it free for like 2 months and then you have to cancel it. You might get addicted and end up keeping it, thats what happened to me

That's it. If you are married or have a girlfriend, she can get a free trial once yours expires.

The trial was awesome.

However, be careful. I think it automatically upgrades you to full membership at the end of the trial unless you click on the option to not upgrade.

There is no cancellation. Just goto your Prime Membership settings and set it to not renew/automatically charge you.

I'll get it for real next year, just don't want it yet since I don't really have $80 to spend on it right now. Still a little disappointed in Fed Ex since it took them a good deal longer than 2 days to get me my first Prime order.

I never get the 1 day shipping and only use the 2 day. UPS is usually doesn't disappoint.

Yeah if you order loads from Amazon then it is definitely worth it.

But for what I was buying it really wasn't worth paying for the upgrade - and it was a good job someone told me to cancel it 2 days before it was about to automatically upgrade and charge me for it.

I agree I first did it that way where I bought a couple things then cancelled it, But then I stepped up my spending or what I was planning to spend, and just everything pointed to that, I've probably saved on shipping/ lower prices and no taxes on movies alone maybe 300-700.

is prime good for used blu rays as well? i've noticed where it's 2.98 shipping for a used bd, and even if you buy 5 bd's from the same seller, it's 2.98 shipping PER movie, which i think is lame.

No, those are Amazon 3rd party sellers. They charge for shipping because they usually ship from their home. Just as long as it says "Sold and shipped by Amazon" you'll receive the 2-day shipping (or 1-day like I do sometimes get )

If you hold out and make several Amazon orders, while not accepting the free Prime trial offers, Amazon will eventually offer you a 3-month free trial. It might make sense to hold out until closer to Christmas season for a Prime trial.
