Croemer,

I don't know if you can renew early but you could try cancelling your current Prime membership and starting a new one. May or may not work but might be worth a try.

Grr...I hate doing that! I will think on it. TY Marp.

I just renewed my Prime membership recently, so my e-mail from this morning states my rate goes up to $99 in February 2015. IMO still a tremendous bargain, considering the standard 2-day shipping (hear that Q?), not to mention the tons of instant streaming and Kindle bonuses. Like Marp mentioned it amounts to less than $10 a month for all the benefits. And unfortunately I'd spend that on turtle-speed shipping at the Q on 1 light-weight item.

I think it's still a great bargain! I use Amazon a lot and it has definitely paid off!

I wonder if I cancel it now...if I may be popped with the new charges???

See post #18; however, they are probably aware that some will try to cancel current memberships and start new ones so they may have something in place to prevent it.

ETA: On the Amazon front page there is notice to start prime in the next 7 days to lock in the $79 price.

I will keep it. I think how much each person uses it will be the deciding factor for them.

I use it a lot ...I order a lot from Amazon and I love the 2-day free shipping and I also use the free one book monthly for the Kindle..and while I don't use the streaming video/movies..they use it for my grandson.

I have never had Prime....can someone tell me if that two day delivery includes items that are bought on Amazon but Not from Amazon....not sure if am making myself clear...

Circles,

Sometimes. For example I just ordered some supplements, all qualifying for Prime. Two of the items were shipped by Amazon and the third by a vendor. If an item is Prime qualified it is clearly stated in the item description.

Hmmm...maybe I should jump on that offer. Good to know.

The answer is ""sometimes"". You can get most kinds of items on Prime. Sometimes other vendors have a cheaper price without Prime but they charge for shipping.
