Maybe they are just trying to push more people over to prime


The only draw-back to having a Prime account is TOO MUCH SHOPPING. I make so many impulse one-click buys these days.


Lol, yeah, we did that at first but our spending with amazon has leveled out. Its mostly random household items here and there now.


I'm feeling even better about getting Prime now. It seems like we order stuff almost daily now instead of running to the store. We've more than paid back the $75 in free shipping less than halfway into the 12 month cycle.


Yeah, we've been using it for a year. We justified it by switching the $8/mo from netflix to amazon. The streaming isn't as robust but it gets the job done :)


Does Amazon have a simple way to track when the $75 has paid for itself? Or did you just calculate it yourself?
