#5 Amazon Prime Day is not the holy grail of sales
If the only reason you are still holding on to your membership is to make sure that you get in line for the best Prime Day sales, then maybe you should reconsider not renewing it. Not only have we discussed how you can take advantage of it one month at a time when you want to, rather than paying for it all year, but Prime Day is not always what it appears to be.
Sometimes it looks more like a huge garage sale. Despite the fact that you can hit the jackpot with some of their products, the majority of the ones that go on sale are either Amazon products that do not sell well or items from third-party sellers who want to get rid of their inventory.

Not renewing it because I don’t use the prime entertainment part. They went up from when I signed up too. Don’t use them enough to justify. I will just pay the service fee to order rather than pay 14.99 and not using it often at all.
Love my prime!
If you take advantage of all the perks, ( video,music, first reads, shipping), it’s well worth the 139 bucks!
I really don’t like using Amazon….would much rather keep smaller stores in business…BUT I am elderly and the nearest shopping center is 100 miles away, so they get my business.
I have had a Prime membership in the past. Its great to get things quickly and Amazon shipping and pick up is first rate. The movie selection is hit or miss. If you order a lot of things and are a avid movie watcher then maybe its worth it. Consider a Netflix account. Their top plan is $20 per month. Yes that’s more then Amazon and it doesn’t include free shipping but the other caveat is their Netflix has a lot more to see.
However there are a lot of legal and free options around to see movies and older TV shows. Recently I ordered something from a Ebay seller. He sent it right away but it took over two weeks to get it. I live in Chicago and he is in California. The Post Office lost it for over a week. I have never had an issue with Amazon Prime shipping. At $140 or so I say its a decent deal.
I keep it for the free delivery, however, I don’t order from there as much as I use too. I find the prices are high on Amazon. I find better deals.
I have cut the Prime cord. Amazon has gone to hell in a handbag. Walmart currently is beating most of their prices. Sometimes by pennies but its still cheaper. I never get things on time any more. Often things are damaged. Amazon blames the Post Office the Post Office blames them. Frankly I am done with both of them.
I have Prime and use it constantly. I have severaL I have several health issues that require some specific food profuycts that are not carried in regular food stores. I can find them on Amazon and have them delivered to my door. I also us it for a lot of other items. The PRIME cost is well worth it to me.
I am 76 and no longer drive. I only buy online from Amazon Prime.
They’re the only ones that have my credit card info. I no longer have access to my credit/debit card. My daughter + her wife are keeping me scam-free by keeping control of the
possibility of getting my identity stolen. Amazon is the only place I can make an online purchase and that’s a whole lot better than not being able to make a purchase at all. I have had problems before.
I love Amazon. It is well worth the money! I haven’t had any problems the last two years!
