Why Amazon Prime - Page 4

@NickNack "How do you get credits from Amazon? I have Prime and order from Amazon every week."

I get credits for selecting another shipping date, ship all products in 1 "Amazon" box and sometimes on certain orders. Amazon sends me an email everytime I accumilate credits. Sometimes you have to use them within 30-60 days.

My $2 credit has no expiration date.

@Mz iMac how exactly do you earn credits from Verizon, by paying your bill each month?

I joined Prime not for any movies/TVs. I wanted free, fast shipping. And that's what I got, and why I remain a member of Prime. On occcasion, I'll goover there and watch. I'm currently watching a series called the Royals.

The free shipping would be enough for me....I do a lot of shopping at Amazon, since I don't drive much. I always get great prices.

The streaming is a bonus for me. My nephew gave me a Firestick a few years ago, and I have access at no additional cost to more than I could ever watch.

I don't pay for any additional streaming sites like HULU or Netflix....and got rid of cable, too. $119 per year is a great deal for my needs.

Same here! I would spend a fortune on shipping if it wasn't for my prime membership, FAR more than the annual fee.

Thank you @Mz iMac . I do that occasionally but not enough to add up to very much. I had forgotten about that.

@Jordan2

Never late paying a bill is one way.

Renewing each year - $2. I am on a 2 yr contract.

Once or twice a year FIOS credits me $5 for being a perferred customer.

For 2 months during the beginning of the shutdown, FIOS premiums & $$$ movies were FREE!

I do not rent On Demand movies. My paramour does when he's here. Before the pandemic when I kept the grands for the summer, they always took full advantage of my credits which I never paid attention to.

Antebellum is only available for pay on Directv as well. When it comes to Amazon Prime I don't concentrate on the very few movies that there is a charge for. I've watched hundreds of shows on it in the short time I've had it. I just ordered my shampoo and conditioner and they will be delivering them tonight with no delivery charge and no tip. I don't have to hunt them down either.

I just give Amazon my money. There are not any stores left.
Last week I combined items into one shipment and received a digital credit. I will, rent a movie.

I subscribe to unlimited music,and you have to be a Prime member.

My favorite Prime video series is a "Taste of History". A retired Philadelphia chef cooks colonial fare in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
He also cooks local dishes in the Caribbean.
I received two of those digital cards 2 months. Neither of them worked and I sent a complaint to Amazon. I was worried they where phising 'offers'. Call CS first to verify - I NEVER heard back from Amazon.

My Netflix ends in a couple of days and plan on getting account.

I shop there several times a month. I got rid of my car last year. I save money on gas, insurance and parking garage fees but still miss the convenience of a car.

@sktchy

Sorry your promotions were not good. I have one a dollar and another one last week for 2 dollars.

A few months ago I watched two Amazon series "Hanna" and "Jack Ryan". The company sent me a $5 coupon for a movie, and the promo was good.

The coupons I receive have an expiration date of about three months. When you pay for a digital item Amazon redeems the coupon and you saved a dollar or two.
