I didn’t know you could accept slower shipping for a $1 credit — I’ll definitely have to check that out. Thanks for the tip 😀

I haven’t used Prime Pantry to the fullest extend… think it’s time to do some more homework and figure out how to best maximize that option 🙂

]]> By: Karen H https://mommyevolution.com/benefits-amazon-prime-worth-it/#comment-60474 https://mommyevolution.com/?p=12353#comment-60474 I’ve had Amazon Prime since 2012 when I got my first Kindle Fire. That 30-day free trial is great and just in that one month, I saw massive benefits. I can’t count the number of new release free books I’ve gotten with Kindle First. My last annual membership fee was billed out at $79. I won’t get the $99 hit until March ’15 but even at that, it is so worth it. I have 2 adult kids and they both shop at Amazon. As a Prime member, I was able to send them an invitation to take part in the Prime shipping benefit as my guest. Once they accepted my invitation, they can get the benefit of the free shipping on any Prime item without having to spend the minimum of $35 for the non-Prime members. There is limitations to that guest program, but even just free shipping is worth it to my kids.

Something Amazon has been offering lately on the prime orders, if you don’t absolutely have to have it in 2 days (or less), you can select a longer ship period and they will give you a $1 credit towards to purchase of books. Even taking advantage of that option, I’ve still gotten my purchases sooner than the ‘standard ship time’ that one would experience without a Prime account.

I am a retired, single person household and I save a bundle every year on things I would buy anyway, so why not use this program to my advantage. $99 per year is a small investment so such huge savings.

I’ll have to look into the Prime Pantry to see if that will fit my buying habits too. I didn’t know about that program. Thanks for the heads up!

With KU, I can download up to 10 books at a time and there is no limit per month. Since I read quickly, I’m getting about 20 books/month for $9.99.

Of course, I am a blogger and order lots of stuff off of amazon. I started using the Prime Pantry (get groceries delievered to your door). We use the music at church on Sunday mornings. We can even watch tv shows and movies. We have already covered it in the music subscription alone, those usually run over 9 a month and this actually has so many other benefits.

If you download one free book a month for 8 months, you have the cost basically covered. If you like reading on your Kindle, it definitely pays off, even without the shipping!

]]> By: Jayne https://mommyevolution.com/benefits-amazon-prime-worth-it/#comment-60410 https://mommyevolution.com/?p=12353#comment-60410 I am a big fan of the Kindle Unlimited but couldn’t find the value in Amazon Prime for our family’s shopping habits. But, I can easily see how others benefit!

It really is a life saver. And a lot of items I order show up within a day… I love it! And I don’t waste time running around to get what I need and hoping it’s in stock. I just have it sent to the house 😀

I really thought when I signed up for it last year I may like it a little — but I really do love it! I can’t imagine how much money you’ve saved shipping overseas! I’m just dealing with the US 🙂
