Moving into a new home meant we left a lot of stuff behind, deeming it not worth paying to move it. Whether we were right in all cases is up for conjecture.
That said, we subscribed to our one-month free Prime trial and used it to order about $1200 worth of stuff, using the Amazon card that gets 5% cash back when Prime is used. We didn't use Prime video or other "benefits" that don't mean much to us. I tried to order just the stuff that we needed right away.
What was interesting, and discouraging, was how often we didn't get fast free shipping. It seems a significant portion of our items either didn't qualify for Prime, or simply didn't get here in 2 days or less. This could be due to many factors, including where we live (although it is quite populous). Some things did get here in one day, which was nice.
Anyway, it was with small regret that I pressed the "cancel" button, and wended my way through the pleas to "extend your membership one more week for $1.99," etc.
Just thought I'd make a report to the congregation.
