I'm scratching my head wondering what attracted you to Prime in the first place. :neutral_face:

My first year of prime is almost up. I barely ordered from Amazon (after getting prime), I don't always find it to be the cheapest. Nor every item listed as prime have been eligible for next day delivery.

I've rarely used amazon prime video because the collection is rather small compered to other streaming services. The moment I saw that content was still pay to rent, my disappointment in the service started.

Prime music I've not used as I have Spotify via Vodafone.

Don't own a kindle so prime library hasn't been used.

Got 50gb storage with Google, so amazon storage again is unused.

Doubt I'd renew my subscription with prime. For me, it's a premium service that doesn't justify the cost.

This sign up every month with a dot in your e-mail and an "a" in your house number is NOT advisable.
I've been an amazon customer for 17 years and Prime for 8 years
I have built up a relationship with them so they look after me if things go wrong.
Recently an item broke after 11 months they sent me a new one at no charge next day delivery.
I still have my 4 recommends.
Amazon reward loyalty.

Good deal for the one or two 'non students' who frequent this site

Not much of a deal when you can get prime membership free for 1 month and keep rolling on monthly

Care to elaborate?

Saw it earlier and signed up ,just over a pound a week will do me

Good for those who regularly order... AMP allows you to get free delivery or collection at your preferred location....

not bad considering as deliveries cost can be expensive

and this can be paid back from product that you can get for reviewing at heavy discount so will pay for it self many times...

Been waiting for this, thanks for the heads up

What kind of name is argosextra anyway :laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Good deal for the one or two 'non students' who frequent this site

This will be useful for the imminent grand tour

Pretty sure u can't just *make an email for new 1 months * there not that stupid that they let people *just make a new email* it's done by credit card if they see u using the same one they all ready no u have an account

This. I'm a reyt tight wad but even I can't be arsed to sign up with a different email addy every month. And not just through laziness but also for the very reasons you outlined.

Make no mistake, this is a HOT deal!

My order history is the email address I use and I order stuff everyday from this website so I don't have time to track every orders.

I don't use music and video playlist I have youtube and it take me 2 seconds to enter my card details because I memorised everything.

To all those replying to me I want to say I have been a Amazon Customer for 15 years and been using prime on and off. I don't need a account every month just occasionally and order for the month that's all thanks

Shame, even with Prime, you have to pay for their 'decent' music service now :disappointed:

Recently items have arrived after 48hrs not 24. Not even the Xmas rush yet.

​Black Friday last year had a big sale for prime only members. £50 for the year instead of £79.

surprisingly I was using Amazon a lot more before I got prime. Then just kinda reduced a lot of my online ordering and it turned out to be more of a waste of money than anything else.

worth it to have access to prime now. went to a byob wedding recently and had to travel there by train, couldn't be bothered lugging around booze with me, so ordered it on the train and it was delivered by the time i arrived. magic.

just in time for black Friday

Yeah I was going to say the same. Mine has been extended by three months through three complaints. If I'm paying for something i expect it to work smoothly and I complain when it doesn't :smiley:

​like ive done for last 12 months

free amazon video
free prime

for 10 mins work

​wrong wrong

do you think they care im setting s new one up when im spending money on there site

ive used the same card for 11 acount this year
no problem at all

Thanks, I knew it was worth living without for a couple of months! 3rd year of Prime and not paid full price yet.

I have the same view as @kos1c; I was tempted by the "amazing" offers but have become more and more disillusioned. The inclusive films on Prime video offer a poor selection and are either old or little known productions. Increasing numbers of items on Amazon are cheaper without Prime. I won't be renewing at the full price in a few days; for me it isn't worth it.

Is membership likely to get even cheaper on black friday, £50 maybe?

Wouldnt use amazon after how they treat their delivery guys

Oh that reminds me my deal is up. I've been pretty happy what I've used it for so I'd say £59 is a good deal.
Altgough the free month hack seams to work.

I'm going to sign up for the free 30 day trial today and then decide if the tv & movie content is better than my NowTV box. Then I have until Friday night to take up the £59 offer! I usually only buy the NowTV movie pass at Christmas time.

Thanks - My prime runs out on 18th (signed up on last years Black Friday deal) -Just emailed Amazon and asked them can I avail of this rather than paying £79 on renewal. They got back and told me to cancel on 18th and the re-sign on 18th?? - not sure if this will work but I have it in writing so if it goes wrong they can refund me.

My prime membership is up today having got it for £59 last year. The link doesn't work though and errors which maybe to do with the new customers only clause or its a personal offer. Will keep an eye on this thread.

I purchased this last year and have used it very regularly. I often find Music CDs with free prime delivery are cheaper than the digital download option - and include an instant MP3 copy anyway. If I'm not in a hurry for something, I choose the "no-rush" delivery option and often get a pound credit to use on the digital music store (I'd hate to be confronted by how much I spend on music). Also I've ordered loads of little things that are just a couple of pounds to arrive the next morning, much better than wasting a lunch hour popping to the shops to pick them up. ALSO the Prime Music and Prime Video service shouldn't be overlooked - both are very good. I'm a happy Prime customer!

Doesn't appear to be working against accounts that have had a paid prime subscription.

My subscription finished last month and I chose not to renew as I thought this offer would come round again! Just shows as £79 for me .... Will have a chat with them later, see if I can haggle it down!

should I wait for Black Friday for a better deal than this?

I got this deal last year but decided not to renew for now. I've found the film's they offer on Amazon video to be poor. There's too many low budget movies and not enough of the bigger blockbusters.

Thanks. been waiting for this.

does prime membership mean you wouldn't have to spend £20 minimum anymore

Sorry I don't know what that means?

Around 50 or so orders in the last 3 months, never had a late item, about a quarter were same say delivery and I've used primenow for 2 hour delivery at least once a week for beer ad it's cheaper than my local shops most of the time. Any issues I've had have been resolved in a short 5-10 minute phone call. the convenience of this is worth it at the regular price too, so great deal

Laughing out loud at the comments on here especially the one who says its not advisable etc etc.
It's a little fiddle.
I like Amazon I choose to use them, I pay my money and I receive a very good service, however, they are on the fiddle to the UK taxpayer, so they fiddle the tax system and I fiddle them.

Is it worth £1 per week ? Yes
Are they fiddling tax ? Yes
See it as cashback.

Worth knowing that if you order a prime item for next day delivery and it doesn't arrive, a quick email to Amazon normally secures you a months free extension to prime.

Just sign up to a trial every month for ever with a new email address and get this for free

Amazon drivers 'work illegal hours'

Amazon delivery drivers regularly work "illegal" hours and receive less than the minimum wage, it has been claimed.
Drivers for agencies contracted by the internet giant told an undercover reporter they were expected to deliver up to 200 parcels a day.
Some admitted breaking speed limits to stay on schedule, while others said time was not allowed for toilet breaks.

Can you use credit on your Amazon account to pay for this?? Hot anyway

Pretty much only signing up to watch TopGear... sorry "The Grand Tour"!

Although I've started seeing some items that I "regularly-ish" order only being offered if you're a prime member, which just doesn't make sense (i.e. not allowing normo's to buy items sold on Amazon!).

That's not right. Some items they do not do. For example raw cider vinegar I get regularly two bottles a time but cannot get it on Prime! I still would get Prime again though as for things mentioned before. Heat

​Was meant to be the word *ordered.

I was using Amazon often before I took up prime and then noticed I didn't order as much as I did before. My other comment points that out.

It's helpful when I need a certain cable ASAP when I'm tinkering around with a tech idea. But other than that, it's barely used.

Most items I've ordered lately haven't been eligible for next day prime delivery. Seems I'm either ordering rare items from 3rd party or amazon themselves aren't stocking what I need.

Out of all the benefits prime gives, the next day delivery is the only thing I really used. Watched a handful of movies, gave my prime music to a friend.

I've also benefited with the no rush £3 vouchers around Xmas and prime day for amazon apps.

I just don't see it worth it for myself at this moment in time.

I signed up to Prime last year on this deal and at the time was so excited to get free video etc. However, that excitement soon wore off; the video selection is very limited, I seldom use the music service, (and my main reason for joining) the free next day delivery seems to not be available on more and more items. You get 'expedited delivery' but it's usually quicker via eBay.

Yep - This.. signed up on last years deal for 12 months. My current expiry is April next year, due to them failing on their T&C of next day delivery.

​You definitely can I've done it myself :smiley:

Countless companies employ lots of accountants/lawyers to ensure they pay as little tax as possible. It makes good business sense.

I was chatting to a guy from Vodafone ages ago and that was his sole role in the company was to reduce the company's tax bill globally. Is it illegal to avoid paying tax, definitely not.

Tax evasion is illegal which isn't what Amazon are doing so I really don't see what the issue is.

JUST USE A DIFFERENT EMAIL, AND SET UP A NEW ACCOUNT AFTER THE FREE MONTH. I AM ON 2 YEARS 2 MONTHS NOW :smiley:

What are you "recommends"... just wondering if I'm missing something free!

You have to give 'honest' reviews that are always positive so sellers are interested in rewarding you.

I'm seriously thinking of taking this offer.
I'm starting to use Amazon for so many things now.
It's not just all about Amazon though - They offer something for twitch.tv users too.

hi all, can I use vouchers towards the cost of prime membership?

Ile being looking a blurays on ebay and most second hand ones go for same as new on amazon so a load of bull sh*t

Please be aware that you can no longer share the benefits of prime with 'family', as you could previously.

what a ball ache.....

mine is due for renewal tomorrow - any tips on how to get a better deal on renewal - or is this not possible

This may be useful for those who really need Prime, for all other benefits it offers apart from free delivery.

However I would say think twice before buying from amazon if you have a viable alternative, see how poorly amazon treats its delivery drivers

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-37708996

Say no to amazon prime, say no to amazon ...

Got this deal last year for £59 and have thought it excellent value for money. My membership is up for renewal in January and to be honest I'll quite happily pay the full £79 fee.

I suppose it all comes down to how much you use Amazon's services. I use them a lot. People are essentially paying for same day/next day delivery. Things like Amazon video and music are just sweeteners to the deal..

"Drivers for agencies contracted by the internet giant told an undercover reporter they were expected to deliver up to 200 parcels a day."

Surely it's the agencies/contractors who are at fault then, not Amazon?

DAMN it I waited so long then ended up buying Prime last week at full price :disappointed:

What now

Had amazon prime since it came out and have never paid a penny for it

Any ex prime members (lapsed account) got it for this price or is it strict NEW members only.

Was waiting for this thanks! My membership expired in July, patiently waited for this!

My account auto-renewed on the 6th, so I got on Live Chat and they refunded £72 (I've used Prime obviously since renewal), canceled the account, then I instantly signed-up again for £59.

Worth a go on live chat to see what you can wangle.

I want this as an existing member whose membership runs out on friday, any ideas?

So mine expires today, tried on my tablet earlier and it failed using two browsers. Have just tried on my laptop and it worked ! Although nothing on the confirm order page or the confirmation email stated the cost so checked my credit card and indeed they have charged me £59 and £1 before that which I assume was them testing my card and I'll get that back?

Don't you have trouble remembering what email account/password you used when you ordered something 11 months ago? I'm sure I would, but perhaps you're more organised than me.

Hi guys,
Just thought I'd share this.
I signed up for Amazon Prime last week for a month. Since successfully received two prime orders and had tried out the music service.
Today, this deal came along so I was gutted because it was only for new customers.
So I called the Amazon customer service who were able to cancel and refund my monthly subscription to allow me to sign up for the £59.
Amazon customer service is awesome... worth a shot for anyone in a similar situation.

Or you just register a new email each month and get free prime for a year? one new email = 30 days free prime

On chat with customer services asking them to offer me this deal (currently on pay monthly prime). After about 10 minutes back and forth they refused as deal is only for new prime customers.

Cancelled my membership with immediate effect - and got £7.99 refund.
Then lo and behold - up pops offer banner, and was instantly able to sign up for a year for £59.

I had a Prime trial (activated accidentally) which seemed to show me the best of Prime over the last few weeks, so I've decided I'll give it a try for a year.
The link suggested the £59 was only for new Prime members, thus count not get the cheaper deal.
I opened up a chat session, and Manoj cancelled my trial, then a refresh of the £59 page allowed me the cheaper price.
I did get in touch with Amazon during the trial, as the Prime music app will not install on my Android TV.

Still. Amazon knows about this problem and does nothing!

Prime CS is awesome but don't use it too often or they could close your account.

They threatened to close mine and I've only done 8 returns out of 60 off purchases this year saying my return rate was too high :confused:

So don't be drawn too much into the eco structure because if They do close your account you loose all prime, books, films, and any credit/gift cards you have are void.

Its made me look around more at other retailers When purchasing and When my Prime runs out I will not be renewing

Been waiting for this one- thanks for posting OP

I've been a prime customer for years - I don't abuse their returns policy, and do order a fair amount (according to my account I've placed 108 orders in 2016 - many of which have more than 1 item). This year I've probably returned 3 or 4 things, one faulty Fire TV stick, and a couple of warehouse items which weren't as described.

Their CS have always looked after me great - being a prime member certainly helps them bend the rules on occasion!

Also, prime replaced my Netflix subscription (although I have it at the moment thanks to Vodafone) and also my Spotify subscription, so in effect, it works out cheaper for me.

Funnily enough, I'm looking forward to my membership expiring for this reason. The £20 minimum purchase cost will be a great incentive to not make impulse purchases and to shop around.
Buying from Amazon has become a bit of a compulsion so that I get my Prime membership fee's worth!

Thanks - Reminded me to cancel my subscription! Never watch any of the TV or listen to any of the music, only used the free delivery service not worth the money even at 59

I used to do this, but then realised Amazn could ban my address. I rely on Amzn too much to risk it. Sad but true

Yes! Just in time for the grand tour :smile:

I got this deal last year, and I have saved a packet on postage, and often got credit for no rush delivery to use on the kindle. Yes you need to check prices, the TV I find basic and prefer Nowtv. It is what it is. I have e-mailed them to see if I can have the deal again........

Correct, amazon can turn blind eye to this and carry on as usual .
People talk so much about ethical sourcing specially when it comes to garment sourcing from asian countries and how badly workers are treated there. People talk about how high street retailers who source from these factories have ethical responsibility to ensure proper working conditions for these workers.

Here we are talking about delivery drivers who live in THIS country and deliver for amazon. But we are ok as they are agency drivers and amazon is allowed to turn blind eye ...

I cancelled my Prime membership a few months ago and have just had a letter offering me this deal if I come back. The link in the letter is http://amazon.co.uk/primereturn

So not just for new Prime members.

EDIT: The link above seems to go to the same promo page which says new members only, but it does have a different "ref=" in the URL. Not sure if they are using the referring link or your account status to determine if you are eligible as a returning member.

thanks :smiley:

Loose is a totally different word to what you actually mean, lose.

You've airways had to pay for the decent music service. The one you didn't pay for was one with just 1 million tracks. The one you now pay for is one with 40 million tracks which is the same as Spotify, Google Play Music etc.

I'm on monthly, do I need to cancel to take advantage of this?

can you pay monthly as well?

Mine lapses on the 18th, can I do the same?

i took out this offer earlier in the year for £59 the movies are rubbish get more up to date movies on Kodi for FREE using funnily enough an Amazon Fire Stick ha...

So I'm hot and cold about Prime.

Pros:
Downloading series to watch on train/Tube journeys and flights.
Prime no-rush credit (which I use for eBooks and Hearthstone via Appstore)
Prime delivery (sometimes)
The rare movie that isn't on Netflix, or where I don't want malware from viewing it elsewhere
A vast selection of classical music on-demand (on my phone or PC or other device), without having to load YouTube

Cons:
Music selection is quite limited
Movie and series selection is quite limited, and often teases out older content, whereas newer content for the same series is paid-for.
Prime stuff is almost always more expensive; if not for no-rush credit (which I value to a small degree), I'd probably wait the few extra days and get it non-Prime. This is actually my single biggest issue - the Prime delivery rarely saves any money, and pushes people towards spending an additional 5%-100% (depending on price; often £1.99 stuff is available to Prime for £3.99, or £45 stuff is available for £50 with Prime).

On balance, and because I collect Pantry credit, or Digital credit for no-rush, I do somewhat better than break even financially, and the ability to watch decent content on my mobile device on over 50 flights and 100 rail journeys over the past 15 months has been the icing on the cake.

But for casual online shoppers, I would not recommend it at £50, let alone £79.

its hardly any hassle, go to hotmail put in some fake personal details, choose a random username which is only used for prime make a note of it, use it purely for prime orders for 30days, when expires and u want to buy things again then register another one. hardly much effort IMO......

Yep and the world didn't actually stop turning when he accidentally misused it. Amazing isn't it?

I share it with my mum no problems at all and we both live in different houses...only thing people should be aware of if contemplating sharing with someone...unlike the old system you have to agree to share your payment methods so really needs to be with someone you trust :wink:

If you login to Amazon.com rather than .co.uk, you can enable 2-step verification under your security settings. This will then work on the .co.uk site too. No idea why you can't do this directly with the .co.uk site.

I believe 40 million tracks is actually 10 million more than Spotify? And to be fair to Amazon, the free one now has 2 million tracks to choose from. Enough for me...

And some would say (OK, my wife!) 59 quid is worth it for Lucifer, Bosch and Man In The High Castle alone...:stuck_out_tongue:

My Prime membership was due for renewal today. I contacted them by chat and with the topic of cancelling Prime membership and before I even had time to ask for the cheaper renewal price she asked me if I wanted to renew at £59 (guessing this is a popular question today). She confirmed this was possible and the fastest way is to cancel the membership, wait a few mins and then sign back up again for £59. I can confirm this works. We use practically all the benefits of Prime in our household and so feel it represents great value, even at £79. At £59 for another year I'm extremely pleased!

Brilliant - I've been waiting for this to come round again. My previous Prime expired in July I think it was, and it let me sign up for £59.

I did this last year cancelled it and took up again on the same day I think and it still only charged me the £59.00.

Works out well if they keep doing this every year, mine expires tomorrow already set the end subscription on account and will re add tomorrow so fingers crossed will works as before great saving of £20 for a brilliant service.

I only signed up a few days ago at full prices just dropped them an email to see if I can get the difference back.

Never said it did. It's just an alarmingly common mistake.

My prime ended today. Not going to renew as I dont use the full benefits. It might actually save me money as i wont be buying stuff i think i need any more.

I'm 5 months into my membership and they wont give me a part refund on my £79 and allow me to renew, they will however let me cancel and re-sign up for £59!!

'​Argo Sex Tra' obviously

well auto renew is off so it should cancel and then i'll see what it shows for me

ill probably renew just for tv exclusives and grand tour

What's the requirement to register as a student? A uni email address?

I had this deal last year and have just rang them up and they renewed it again for another year.

Another thing people havent noticed is that Prime can be shared with 1 other Amazon account. IE you can share prime benefits, prime video, music, next day delivery with one other person. :sunglasses:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201910370

You're correct. I appear to have had an extra 'o' on the loose.

I wonder if Amazon Prime will become the new PPI claim in the future? Paid £79, got £20 of benefits. Call Solicitors4u to claim your money back...

It's the sum of the parts that makes Amazon Prime a good deal. However, like a few other Members, I have not used the service to its full potential. For me, next delivery is great but I was (and still am) disappointed by Prime Video. We tried to watch a film recently only to be told it was not available to Prime members? Netflix trumps it in this respect! Anyhow, I still voted hot for the deal, as it's a good deal, but it's hard to justify if like me you're only using Prime for specific elements of the deal. I will not be renewing my subscription as I don't use the full service but I will miss next day delivery for sure

​YES....found this myself having joined student style last month. ... not cool amazon

Did you read me post. The unlimited music service is not the same as the one you got for free. The free one contains far fewer tracks. Therefore it isn't a valid comparison.

Someone's not getting picked.

No, you just get the family to sign up individually using their own email address ;-)

I wasn't aware of the article. Hence the recent policy/site changes to their website.

As you commented...

I have given correct reviews, I sometimes took my time, over the 16days deadline to make sure I knew what I was talking about... and it was correct.

I always wondered why I have to put a declaration that I got this product for this purpose, even though I didn't wanted to..... and have given 1* for absolutely rubbish item costing more than a penny worth, and the seller not willing to help me in resolving the issues.

The real reviewers have been tarnished with the fake reviewers....

how is the music app? any users on here? ive just come to and end of my Deezer 3 month free service, and i really love it actually. im not usually one to want to continue the service after a freebie, but the Deezer service is a bit expensive tbh, for me. can you share the app with another person from the same household do you know?

Thanks

Dave

Yep, sure... Do yourself a favour and read the thread next time. Mine was due for renewal today. Cancelled and got it for £59 a few minutes later.

If I sign up and purchase an item, say for delivery to family in say, Cardiff, is is that covered under prime or is it only to my actual home registered address?

Thanks SM

My renewal was 18/11 after paying reduced price last year. Went on live chat. They just canx my renewal & I signed up again for £59. Took less than 5 mins to sort. Happy days.

Just to reiterate what others have already said - if you're already a Prime member you can cancel and then immediately sign up for again at the £59 price. My membership was due to expire in a few days - I chatted with Amazon online to see if they'd just let mine renew at the lower price but the lady said that cancelling and re-applying was the way to get the £59 price. She even cancelled my membership and then emailed me to say that I could re-apply. So by "new" Prime members they mean anyone who doesn't currently have an active membership.

I cancelled my prime membership 2 months ago. Had an active prime for 3 years. Anyway this morning I got a letter from amazon offering me £59 for a year of prime if I signed up again by the end of next week. So although this deal here is for new memebers. Amazon will offer ex-prime users this price if you wait it out for a letter.

Tbh it really just seems like anyone can get prime for £59 right now :smiley: hey ho.

Just for information - that isnt strictly true. We used to sell on Amazon and their criteria is very strict, and sellers get suspended for falling below 90% (or something very high) positive customer feedback scores. Also Amazon claim that you are fully protected against fake products and they will refund themselves if you are scammed. I asked about someone abroad selling a Mont Blank Pen very cheap and they were adamant that id be fully protected - but i didnt purchase as price seem too good to be true and didnt want the bother of claims etc - but they sent me an email to confirm that id already had the conversation with them for my piece of mind.

P :smiley:

I don't order much from Amazon as I like to use other companies so cold from me.

Is it me or are the deals on HUKD not up to much lately? Guess Amazon will be desperate to get new Prime members to pay for Top Gear, oops I mean The Grand Tour!

Mine was due to renew today. Cancelled this morning and was able to rejoin this afternoon for £59.00. Amazon customer service confirmed this was possible also.

Mine was due on the 17th so straight on to chat and they cancelled and I signed up again using the link :sunglasses:

we have just got the Amazon echo. is it worth getting prime? we already have the firestick but use kodi and mobdro for films etc.

Does this include same day delivery?

​Was a type-o made in my original comment. Was meant to be *ordered.
Referring to after having prime.

I used to order a lot prior to having amazon prime. But a few months after having prime I noticed my order quantity dropped to once in a blue moon. Which took away my need for prime. Will try editing my original post as the confusion has been pointed out a couple of times. :man:

​thanks welshblob

Was waiting for this price. Knew they'd do a Black Friday deal. Will sign up even though I rarely buy things as the benefits are sufficient to warrant the outlay.

​I tried to get into Mr Robot, the first episode was interesting when he confronted the store owner.
After that it felt like a cheesy Watch Dogs approach and I couldn't keep interest for long.

Luckily I got amazon prime till December for the grand tour, if it's not all put by the time my sub ends. I got Kodi as well. :man:

I agree sky is expensive, and not even a great service. But I'm stuck with them for a while. But the bill is split between a few of us.

Thats between The Agency & the Driver.
The Agency are paid more than enough to employ enough drivers - but usually instead they think they can 3 people to do the delivery of 5. Like I said, its the same elsewhere.
Big business, that is how the supply chain works. Look at supermarkets & their rules on Veg or underpaying farmers for milk, etc.

Will this also give you no adverts on Twitch? apologies if been asked and answered before in here.

My prime is cancelled and ends on the 18th, went on chat and they said there is nothing that can be done to let me renew for £59.
No great loss i`ll most likely look around a bit more or just wait a few days extra for delivery.
The second half of this seasons Vikings and TGT will be on Kodi anyway.

In contrast to all of the people saying it isn't worth it, I've found my Prime Membership to be great value.

I signed up last year on a previous deal, and since then I've saved over £100 on delivery that I would have paid for without prime. I've also enjoyed Prime TV, and prefer it to Netflix - my kids have also watched a number of shows on this (Just Add Magic, Annedroids, etc...). Prime music is also good (not great in comparison to other music streaming offers but better than nothing!). On top of that, I've made use of the photo storage and discounts on xbox games for Prime users.

All in all I've been happy with the price I paid. I've not made use of Pantry or books.

Hmmm ... just received a nice letter from Amazon UK with a shiny plastic card attached:

A YEAR OF PRIME FOR £59.00

Nice offer, but I'm currently paying £59.00 / year less for EXACTLY the same 'benefits' :stuck_out_tongue:

paying £5.99 a month for prime video anyway... sold!

Yay I paid £79.99 two days go :confused:

Depends what you buy. I share mine with my wife, she pays with her own card. It's only the instant purchases / rentals etc that the main card is used I think.

Given I subscribe to a few people on twitch @ ~ £4.50 a month, 12 months of 1 free subscription adds up to £54 over the year, so an effective cost of £5 for the year with the added bonus of an ad-free experience on mobile (No exit/load to skip ads) as well as the benefit of prime this is a bargain!

Nice one, will sign up.

Do u need to buy the fire stick aswel sorry for being dumb ,I know my boy wants to see the Jeremy clarkson I also buy a fair amount off Amazon and with the music etc I'm guessing he would benefit from this just now sure how it all works ,lik with Netflix you can share the account etc ☺️

​A piracy App? you've got that wrong Kodi is a totally legit company......

do you still have to pay £20 on add on items??
I don't need movies too because I have kodi on Amazon stick.

Kodi certainly is, what you are using to access free copryrighted content (i.e an add-on) certainly isn't. I hope you understand the difference here...

Great I signed up 2 days ago for £79.00

Do u also share wish lists & order history?

Thanks OP! Just cancelled my monthly subscription for £7.99 which renews on the 10th of the month and they refunded the November payment, which I wasn't expecting, and I've now signed up for £59! Well pleased!

Sorry skimmed this thread but can I share the sub with my wife (2 different amazon accounts) or would she just have to order items via my account?

Thanks. Sorry stupid question again but how would one share it?

EDIT: Sorted :smiley:

I went through the help section and contact us option.

Tried again via email this time and a very helpful man has sorted me out, thanks for the heads up on this OP

my prime had a few days remaining, got on chat, cancelled last few days of prime, and then the offer or £59 shows back up. this was explained to me by person on chat, so seems legit. :wink:

you see everything

voted hot but did they forget to add the .99? :smirk:

Hi
Amazon stopped the 4 sharing last Autumn but have kept it for loyal Prime members.
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2015/8/3/9089543/amazon-prime-sharing-restrictions?client=safari
Thanks

Just cancelled my £79 trial that was due to end next week and got this deal with some assistance from Livechat. :smiley:

Will their photo storage work with Apple Photos on MacOS?

And the grief it causes the Kodi devs.

https://kodi.tv/the-piracy-box-sellers-and-youtube-promoters-are-killing-kodi/

Got prime, paid for itself over the year with prime offers and del'... haven't even watched any video side of it yet...

Was that meant to be a joke or are you really stupid enough to comment on an Amazon Prime Thread with no knowledge of it at all! NO YOU DO NOT NEED A FIRE TV STICK TO ACESS AMAZON PRIME. It will become available on the Instant Video service online to access which means like other shows on there it will not be live but instead you stream when you like. It is NOT a TV channel so will be no need to be on constant repeat. Buy fire TV stick if you wish but it is NOT essential. :stuck_out_tongue:

Same Here, Never used any services other than next day delivery - but probably saved myself a fortune in postal charges :sunglasses:

You don't need a fire Tv stick to watch the show. Just anything that can access the internet well, e.g. Phone, tablet, Pc, Smart TV. If you want to watch on TV that isn't smart maybe buy the fire Tv stick but other devices are available or you could just connect phone, tablet, Pc etc to Tv via HDMI. You can share the membership with one other account but obviously you can share password of your account with more people in order to share benefits. I think only 2 people can view content per account at one time though. Hope you enjoy the Grand Tour and I hope my comment helps you. Ask if you need any help :stuck_out_tongue:

I believe you can use different emails, When on twitch there should be a way to link accounts & you can log into the account that way.

Cheers lollyfolk very helpful thankyou

If you have a small business and constantly need varied items then amazon prime easily pays for itself - I recommend.. i would imagine a lot of personal users don't use it to its full extent

Thats news to me - although I got rid of my fire stick as it was constantly buffering.
I usually just download shows via the torrent system now & play back via usb tv dongle.

I was a Prime subscriber from last years deal. Each time I clicked the deal it wanted to charge me full price. I turned off auto renew & tonight my membership ran out, so I tried the link and was given the £59 offer which I have taken out again for another year :smile::

Sorry but got disagree, i literally wont shop anywhere else these days apart from amazon, even 13 months after something goes wrong theyll just refund or replace, no hassle what so ever!

I literally havent got enough time to explain the things theyve sorted out for me, and the discounts on warehouse products etc , they even knocked off about £18 from my prime now order because i told them my bread was crushed :smiley:

u must be an idiot to pay for prime membership when u can easily get it free whenever u need it..!

Great deal for folks who want to watch Clarkson & Co on 'The Grand Tour'

Same here :-) happy days.....

If everyone did it for "free", it wouldn't exist for very long.. called paying your dues.

Wouldn't need 100s of accounts. Just 12. You are eligible for a one month trial every 12 months. so yeah, that's easy enough to do.

That said. I would rather have one account, but who has £59 lying around?

Is this only for new members?

My membership is due to end on the 17th. Can I cancel and buy it new after that?

As lollyfolk explained, any device on which you can browse or install apps or connect your computer to tv via hdmi or Chromecast.

​Fantastic brilliant you've lightened up my day

Heat for new customers. Unfortunately mine ends this Thursday and it's a cheeky I am not entitled to this offer. Heat anyway..... I am just secretly disgruntled.

Whats "4 recommends"?

Hi Hawkwind. Easy peasy to fix this. My membership ends December 8th. They forced cancelled my membership, l then rejoined and they added a month onto my term for lost time due to cancelling. Now membership is to December 15th 2017. Hope this helps.

Renew on Thursday then, or Friday. It should allow you for £59. If not contact CS.

Yes. I cancelled mine. Had to be forced by amazon chat through as mine ended 8th December.

Now you can't get the same deal next year...

Just cancelled mine yesterday, prime is normally a pound more per item.. Not everything you want Is on prime Not everything comes the Next day..... Can get all the TV programmes via Other... Ahem.... Providers...Music is Limited in choice... What can I say it's up to you, ps I got the £59 offer last year...

My post was for those who pull a fast one and get a free month by changing their e-mail and adding an "a" to their address.
There have been numerous times amazon have gone the extra mile for me.
Why have I still got my 4 recommends enjoying next day delivery? They dont offer this anymore so I guess its because I'm being rewarded for loyalty.
EE another company that rewards loyalty our bill at work is now £60 inc VAT for 4 lines, we used to get bills approaching £200
So you are wrong, good companies do appreciate your loyalty.
You sound like you have had some bad experiences with retailers?
ps
non food items I buy almost exclusively from:

• JLP
• amazon
because of their 'No Quibble' return policy

What a horribly rude post. What's the matter with you??
You DO need a fire stick to watch Prime on a (non-smart) tv, so your advice wasn't particularly helpful. I hope for your sake you're only being a keyboard warrior and that you aren't as rude in "real life".

​what do you mean? I'm quite new to UK but I heard they earn quite a lot. What's the issue?

What do you mean by "prime is normally a pound more per item"?

I watch Prime on my non smart TV without a FireStick, there are other ways of doing it eg Xbox One app

Thanks just signed up. If you get a free trial and you lose the discount in a months time this works out cheaper not having the trial

​The companies that sign up to prime there items are normally a pound more than the same item by another company who don't do prime nxt day delivery but do do free delivery....

Apologies about my choice of words in my previous post. I genuinely wasn't sure whether they were joking, mistaken or trying to trick others into unnecessarily buying a fire tv stick. There are many devices that allow Prime to be viewed on a non-smart Tv. Including any internet device plugged in via HDMI or streamed to the TV. I was trying to help someone out and potentially save them a few quid that was clearly confused and being given false advice. Apologies for any offence I have caused you

Ah, I get it - thanks. I don't tend to buy much from the 3rd party sellers.

Well,ive just received letter from amazon says i can renew my old subscription for £59;)

Amazon do not reward loyalty. Their customer service is good and they are great at warranty returns etc. I'm not a prime customer but I had an item replaced after 7 months that broke.

If they rewarded loyalty the £59 would be for everyone not just new customers. If anything a loyalty reward would be a depreciating renewal fee and additional benefits

Also I tried a free month trail. Went to put on a film for my son only to find you had to pay extra to watch it. So much for all the included video. Most of it is old or less popular as others have said.

*trial*

Yes but the size of 1 hour of 4K footage will be huge and take ages to get.

Hi
A Fire Stick ideal but there are alternatives for your son https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/ontv/devices/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll2&tag=tcuk-article-black-friday-21&linkId=1add4580d99b17159f32cec96b06230e

Hi, yes i posted after this that i got sorted after trying to contact them via email, they called me back and sorted everything for me, thanks for the advice though.

I`ve not had many problems with my orders over the years but when i have Amazon have always been fantastic, last year i ordered some bottles of spirits but they sent the wrong ones, even though they were double the price of what i ordered i contacted Amazon and they apologised, said i would receive the correct drinks next day and i could keep the incorrectly sent bottles to do as i please.

Not just for new Prime members if you're on monthly. My prime ran out 2 months ago and been on monthly since then, contacted CS on chat who cancelled my monthly Prime and let me sign up for the annual option at the £59 so it does work to ask, hopefully this helps some people

Went to get this then noticed student prime 6 months free and £39 a year after , managed to get that instead.

its false economy. last year I paid the full price and my parcels typically arrived before dinner time. Then I did this "cheat" and came up with another email address (same as the last but I added a o-n-e on the end :wink: ) and then paid £20 less....but! I've now noticed my parcels arrive between 1437 and 1630 hours. much later than the full price prime. plus they're not packaged as good. they use less tape and half the time its covered in fingerprints!
anyway I still like it but I don't be caught out again this time.

(PS the packaging on the full price prime smells better IMO).
hope this helps. you get what you pay for!

Awesome. I can't believe they did this offer just before the grand tour starts. I was waiting and would have signed up on Friday regardless. thanks op.

Joined! Good timing as my wife's membership expired on 4th Nov & we were ummming & aaaahing about what to do, Sorted :smiley:

Is this not available for previous trial members?
I did the trial, but cancelled.

That special relationship you think you have with Amazon, it only exists in your head.

I spent tens of thousands with them over 11 years, I had a few unlucky purchases that were faulty, I was promptly threatened with account closure and treated with suspicion by them, like some kind of scammer.

I felt the same way, but recently they are letting standards slip. Hey are not my instant goto anymore as a result.

think someone needs to get out more!:stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks Op I've been checking every day for this as I thought they'd do prior to release of a Grand Tour. It's a great deal from the 'Earths most customer centric company'

I got this deal last year for £59 as it was my first paid version of Prime rather than just a trial (which I'd had several of over the years, on the one account I have), my membership ended today and I had already turned off auto-renewal.

Just tried this offer and so far it has gone through at £59.

Just signed up.
I regularly use them anyway so the free delivery alone probably justifies it.

Great got it for £59, second year on the run! I think this will be my annual price from now on!

we did this on 18/11/15

wife has just cancelled it so I'll be taking this up in my name

we use Prime/Prime video quite a lot

Anyone know if you can add your spouse as a prime user so she can order stuff using your prime acount?

just a note to all existing members who pay monthly, I just got on to chat and blagged them to give me the 59 deal even though I am not a new member. they did this for me no problem at all, they also refunded the months 7.99 payment to lol

Thanks hipko, signed up for a year. Hot.

​There have actually been quite a few news articles about this phenomenon. I'm actually quite nervous to complain after reading them.

Has anyone figured out how to see exactly whats available with prime music ? It shows available with 'unlimited music' even for those albums I know you can get with prime, its very annoying - they're pushing the full unlimited so hard they won't even let you see what you get with prime ! Also can anyone confirm you can download for offline listening with prime ?

Hi Jeff, is that you?

Sorry that you have had a bad experience, I know the account closure issues were mentioned on Watchdog a few years back.

My 'special relationship' with amazon is not 'in my head' its personal experience I could list a dozen times where amazon have gone the extra mile to find a solution to a problem.

Problems that say a Dixon's group PLC manager -PC World, Curry's etc would have treated me with utter contempt.
I swear I wouldn't buy from
them if all their product were free due to their truly appalling returns policy etc I have been treated like a criminal by them on more than one occasion in the 90's up to ten years ago.

I know a good retail experience, its not 'in my head' ie just my imagination as your post implies, its reality.

Give her your login details

My first year was up yesterday. Sadly I have to pay full rate now. But their after sales and returns are excellent. Rare I don't get next day delivery. Worth it - and my son and daughter use it too

For me Amazon have been excellent.....so far.

Feeling really fed up.

I have been waiting and waiting for an offer to join Amazon Prime and less than 24 hours ago signed up for the free 30 day trial and placed an order for something. That has cost me £20 because they say I am not entitled to the offer price of £59:( Just my luck.

Signed up to Prime about 3 weeks ago, always just miss these offers!

Just to say it was las day of my current membership which I got for the £59 last year. Contacted live chat and said as I was a good customer buying so regularly I would hope as a gesture of goodwill they would renew at this offer price. A few minutes of checking and he gave me a link which took me through to offer. All renewed at £59. Worth a try and hope this helps;)

18/11/17 will be next years cut off date for this offer

Amazon Music
Anyone tried searching for artists via the sonos app?
search returned no results

Isn't that standard terms? Repair or replace under 12 month warranty.

"Problems that say a Dixon's group PLC manager -PC World, Curry's etc would have treated me with utter contempt.
I swear I wouldn't buy from them if all their product were free due to their truly appalling returns policy etc I have been treated like a criminal by them on more than one occasion in the 90's up to ten years ago."

So to clarify.

You are generalising about all Managers in the whole of Dixon's, on the assumption they would treat you with utter contempt. And you wouldn't accept the same products for free, even though they are identical to those you are buying from Amazon and come in a factory sealed box.

You were also treated as a criminal by them in the 90's and up to 2006, so that must still be the case, even though an entirely different generation of people now work there...

...and it isn't 'in your head'.

Ok.

Yes but it way the impeccable no questions asked way they handled it.

Student prime six months free then £39.00 a year

​contact them. they will likely refund the difference

​he is correct though. their returns policy us terrible. amazon's returns policy is only bettered by Costco

​150% Agreed

​150% Agreed

No it's Dave Clarke...Jeff isn't too far away, you want him?

​150% Agreed

There's an official Android app for Amazon Prime Video now (smartphones, Kodi boxes, etc) though I normally watch Prime on my BluRay player...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Amazon-com-Amazon-Video/dp/B00N28818A

Dixons Group PLC may have improved (please see my recent Telegraph link below) but I wont be going back there.
Yes I feel strongly about my sub standard previous shopping experience there.
Just as you feel strongly about amazon falling below your expectations.
The difference is amazon have very few bad write ups for customer service and in fact are award winning-
The top 50 companies for customer service
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/12109854/The-companies-with-the-best-customer-service-in-the-UK.html

Dixon Group PLC not even in the top 50!
More than 12 years since I steped foot in one of their stores. I'm not out of touch.

Jan 2015-
"For the sake of those people who rely on a wage from Dixons-Carphone, I certainly hope things improve in the coming year. But, if I view the situation minus the impact on its staff, I can't really say I am too surprised that the group's trading has been hit and miss. Despite the fact that selling electrical gadgets and mobile phones is as close to a licence to print money as you can get nowadays, Dixons-Carphone stores manage to screw things up. This is because they treat customers with a level of disdain not seen in this country since Margaret Thatcher had to engage in her first one-to-one conversation with a sweaty northern union leader."

http://www.independent.co.uk/money/spend-save/donald-macinnes-my-wasted-hours-in-the-retail-deserts-of-dixons-carphone-9999655.html

I signed up last year with a similar deal and have not had any regrets. I live the prime delivery and am a heavy music user, especially now with my Alexa :smiley: Absolutely amazing, go for it! Great deal!

Many items, particularly low cost ones actually cost one or two pounds more on prime.

So it's not really free now is it?

Neither the video or the music services are up to much and 7.50 a month is a lot considering you can get free post from a lot of places these days and they rarely take more than a day or so.

Amazon need a reality check.

Hi
Use camelcamelcamel to track items you are interested in.
The video and music depends what devices are you using for music and video?
Have you tried the UNLIMITED photo storage in the cloud?

For some reason I could not cancel my membership (due for renewal in Jan.) online. Got customer services to ring me and they cancelled my membership over the phone. Reapplied online, at £59. Excellent :smile:

Hmm, mine expired today and they automatically renewed at £79. I managed to cancel and reorder but wouldn't have noticed without this post. Oddly they have removed the option to turn the auto renewal off.

If you order 3 or more times a month it worth to sign!
Thanks

this pays for itself at Christmas with delivery

Just resign up once a month with a throwaway email address. Annoying as f*ck but it does save money.

​Its called 12 month warranty all companies have this on products.

still not worth it tbh

​Yeah free with multiple emails.

It was there last weekend when I turned mine off.

I had this did a chat, they said you have 5 days until membership ends, if they end it immediately you will not be refunded for the 5 days, but can then take £59 offer, i said go ahead and sure enough it immediately allowed me the offer ! Hope this helps !

Not odd. Have you seen the way RAC and AA auto renew at 5 times the original price?

I use prime a lot. Never paid for it. Must have saved over £500 in membership fees. I can sign up with a new email in less than 2 minutes. So just over 10 minutes a year to have this for free. Can't see why anyone would pay for it, although in some way they probably help fund my account. So thanks.

Im getting more and more surprised with what i can get out of them tbh! they even refunded me for some bathroom scales that stopped working, bought them 2 years ago :smiley:

"with a new email in less than 2 minutes. So just over 10 minutes a year to have this for free"

1 month = 2 minutes
12 months = 24 minutes

also its not really 2 minutes is it? more like 10 minutes.

also if you spend that much money on amazon too take advantage of prime surely you can afford it lol, i go halves with a family member,

£35 each = £2.91 a month

£2.91 a month is easily more than better than having to resign up and going round in circles!

Your right, but alot of companys will tell you to contact the company that makes the faulty product,

Amazon is an instant online chat = refund or replacement with free postage

:smiley:

You just prompted me to get 6 months free prime... Thanks :smiley:

It's worth it just for The Grand Tour.

Jeremy Clarkson RACIST

I think prime is brilliant I use amazon music, film and next day delivery on loads of stuff. Worth every penny for me.

Do teachers get student prime price? Conflicting information about this online :neutral_face:

and me, i have never had a problem with amazon deliveries choosing free p+p or economy,but just signed up with amazon for a free trial using prime,and for some some reason they could not deliver to me,i did get a full refund within 3 days ,but what a nightmare and not a good reason to use prime for me,but others might get better service

Seriously just use a different email and keep getting the free 1 month trail. why pay £59 when you can have it free????????????

yes i know but there are some people that want to be totally honest and not have the chance of any hassle

Got this deal 12 months ago. Thanks to late deliveries I will still be on that deal until March. Hopefully a few of my Black Friday and Xmas orders will be late again so I can extend it even further. If you're only after the TV, then this isn't that hot. I was already using Amazon a lot and even though I would never pay for next day delivery, having that as part of Prime was a bit pull for me, the TV and music side as a bonus.

why are u comparing £2.91 to free?
nothing beats free, regardless if u split it with 10 people, your trying to justify a price which clearly will not beat FREE.
if your too lazy to fill a form in and then notepad the new email address for that one month free and rather justify paying for something that u can get for free, then to me thats pretty stupid IMO.
Did i mention that your paying for something that u can get for free?

order quite a bit from amazon.... but think that the movies are a poor deal overall.... I pay for both Netflix and now tv which I think are excellent

So if you need to return an item you have to try and remember which email and address you gave and amazon customer service say well we have 15 number 72, Pull A Fast One Road and 15 [email protected]
72a, Pull A Fast One Road
[email protected]
72b, Pull A Fast One Road
[email protected]
72c, Pull A Fast One Road
[email protected]
72d, Pull A Fast One Road
[email protected]
72e, Pull A Fast One Road
[email protected]
etc
do you have a speadsheet to help your memory to scam amazon?
As you are breaking amazon's T&C with every scam.
Good luck getting your next day replacement without going to manufacturer within 12 months like I do.
Hopefully amazon will pick up on your IP address so we dont have to fund your 'something for nothing' mentality.

​not true amazon comfired they'll charge me £59 also got a letter through telling me that.

been a member for many many yrs, never ever paid for prime since launch, and i submit my address only the one way, i dont add things to it or put dots anywhere, all i do is create a new email address and change the email address slightly, just making up a random one now..

[email protected], then [email protected], then [email protected]
and so on, its really not hard. and its obvious to amazon that im doing it, it must be, as i dont fake any personal details apart from using a new email, they have never ever said anything to me, why would they, they are getting my money.
i think ur looking way too much into this. im not exactly frauding a bank or anything, its just a loophole to get free delivery.

Signed up, thanks.

How did you contact them please as my free trial runs out on the 22nd. Tried to cancel it to take up this offer and says it will cancel on the 22nd. Argh. Please advise. Thanks.

​My father ordered a coat from Amazon that didn't get there next day and he was due to go on a kayaking trip the day after it was to arrive. He told them at about 8pm the day before he left, they managed to get one to him for 9am so he could have it before he left and refunded him the money. He has been a member for probably something like 4 years.

My prime was due to expire on the 18th too. Noticed it would auto renewal and i spoke to customers services via amazon /chat and they were about to remove the auto renewal.
After seeing this deal, i thought i would chance my luck and spoke to customer service again via chat and they said that they would offer the same deal £59 a year. It would be automatic and i wouldnt have to do any thing.
Having prime for the last year has been great, and the prices are one of the cheapest places to shop on line. The next day delivery has saved my skin for those last minute purchases.

Thanks. I will contact them later if I can find out how to contact them.

should be half price.

Not sure how but my prime ended yesterday and I've managed to renew at this price! Might be because it did it through phone app?

I am a week into a month's free trial, could I get this offer.

My prime was to renew on the 15nth of December this year. Last night, after chatting with customer services, I cancelled the remaining prime and got 30% back and in the same time renewed the membership for another year for 59 quid. It's not only for the new customers, at least that's what the lady made me think. Regardless the prime is good or not, it's still a good deal. In my case, prime is fantastic, not only for the same day delivery or 2 hours delivery if you are in the right area but even for prime music or movies, cloud services. It's not only the delivery that I am interested in. And with the Grand Tour coming this Friday it's like the cherry on the top of the cake.

And if anyone doubts about the renewal, I can provide a copy of the chat session with the Amazon representative. So the deal is hot hot hot ...

Just to add my 2 pence worth...:smiley: I like free stuff as much as the next man and did use the email trick the last 2 Xmas's, and am currently on free Netflix and nearly free now tv deal , thanks to this site...

But I always factor in the "Faff" factor :smiley: and at a fiver a month I cant be ****'d :confused:

and dont forget (most do) to factor in your time, ie if your normal wage is £10 ph , and it takes over 30 mins a month, then its not free...

Not saying it takes thirty mins, but I remember spending a day ebaying and making about £50 profit , but had turned down a days overtime which would have made me 3 times that...:confused:

Yes just phone them on 0800 496 1081 and they will switch you over. Ask for e-mail confirmation.

If you cancel the Trial, you should be able to take up this offer.

I've been doing the month to month because I did not know how long I'd be here. I'd love to take advantage of the cheaper rate, but as I'm not a 'new' customer and can only renew for a year at the 80 pound rate.

It's one of those things that I'd do it anyway, but it upsets me as a long time customer that I can't get the same break! They know they have me though so don't have to offer anything extra.

I'm also an annual member in the US. I accidently let my membership renew even though I'm in the UK now. I still maintain a household there and rent some space out, and frankly it's come in very handy to ship things overnight at a distance; everything from light bulbs to smoke detectors. It's certainly a premium to pay for a service I don't use all the time but it's very convenient when I do.

I'm really torn about paying 80pounds but even if I leave it may be just as convenient to still ship things overnight here for various reasons. The decision would be a little more clear cut though at 60 pounds.

Hi

This deal is for existing customers as well if you have just renewed.

I buy from amazon.com occasionally and we use myus at work.

I always make sure purchases are under £15.00 from amazon.com due to VAT and the £8.00 post office admin charge.

cheers

Mine expires in end of Jan 2017. Anyone know If i bought this now .. Can it be set to start from Jan 2017?

Nar-E, in short no, i've tried to ask them but they said no. Not sure how this will work out for you but you can cancel your yearly membership and get a pro-rata refund i.e. If you use 10 months worth you will get 2 months back. Then just use the link to get it for the discounted price

Kellylek, I am on the month to month subscription but manage to speak to someone from a UK call centre and they sorted it out for me. As many other posters have said cancel your membership and just use the link to rejoin. Its slightly different if you pay monthly but they manage to do this still.


Thanks my brother for informing me of this deal

My Prime subscription expired yesterday and automatically renewed for £79. I cancelled last night for a full refund. Just resubscribed as a non member this morning for £59.

My Prime run out on the 23 November so I ended my membership to try and use this offer but it didn't work as my membership will still continue until the 23rd Nov, It just says we're sorry this offer is for new Prime members only.

Just ending your membership won't work. You need to contact Amazon & get them to cancel your membership. Then you can immediately rejoin for £59. I know, I did this yesterday.

For anyone worried about your Prime photos that you may have backed up using the unlimited photo backup if you get Amazon to cancel your membership, or if you "end" your membership, I can reassure you that you will not loose them. I spoke with an Amazon Drive rep yesterday who checked with his senior team. Once you end or cancel Amazon Prime, everything you have in Amazon Drive - photos, files, videos & so on - are safe for 90 days. After that, they are deleted. So, if you rejoin Prime within 90 days, you have nothing to worry about. :smiley:

my prime would have run out on December 15th, emailed customer services who said to call them as it would be easier. just my like I had the 1 customer services advisor who had no clue about the £59 deal. I got so annoyed that I asked to speak to a different advisor and straight away she said "no one else is available". Finally got it sorted after 29 minutes on the phone!!!!

My prime was up today. I rang and they gave me the price of 59 pounds. Result :smiley:.

Should be able to. I'm the same, having somehow signed up despite clicking on the "no, I don't want Prime" during checkout last week, so I cancelled the renewal straight away.

Yesterday a letter arrived with a credit card type thing saying £20 off if you sign up by Friday.

i feel your pain, the first person i spoke to was pretty clueless, i called using the 0800 number i found on google and ended the call after 20 minutes. Ended up doing a survey i got on my e-mail and there was an option to call me back, did this and spoke to a girl/lady from a UK call centre and it all got sorted pretty quick.

That's not really my point. I didn't say they were bad, I am personally also very impressed by Amazon's customer service and Prime service. However, I don't think you get better customer service because you've been using them for 4 years or whatever.

Done an online chat and they cancelled my Prime & allowed me to renew at ₤59.

Is Amazon music any good

Dont even need to do an online chat.

Mine was due to exprie on 18th but I was unsure what would happen.

1) I ended my prime online but this doesnt cancel the service just stops it renewing
2) contacts us --> amazon prime --> Cancel
3) I wrote simply saying that I have ended my amazon prime but can you please cancel it so i take up the £59 offer.
4) instant email reply saying thank you for contacting amazon
5) 5 minutes later email saying it had been cancelled.
6) went to amazon.co.uk and could immediately take up the offer :smiley:

I was 24 hours into the month's free trial when I saw this offer.

I contacted Amazon via online chat and they kindly cancelled the one month free trial and I then signed up for the £59 Prime offer. Have always found them to be very good.

Mine was ending today cancelled online chat and then just signed up £59 result

There's no way you can 'loose' them. You might be able to 'lose' them though.

This is really rather worrying and I'm going to have think twice about 'buying' any more digital content. I frequently use no-rush to get a £1 and was going to buy a film or two; not sure I'll bother if they can just take it away from me on a whim.

The law needs to be changed to protect such purchases.

Phoned up today and was told he would cancel my Prime trial and then he sent me a link for the £59 offer which I clicked and joined for a year.

From his entire post you chose to focus on that? :rolleyes:

my prime ended yesterday and signed up again for £59 today......

very true. I stopped selling on ebay and amazon for that reason. selling on ebay is a nightmare due to:
-namby pamby cant do this cant do that rules to the point you fee like telling ebay to f*** off and just tell me what I should sell it for
-dictating how much postage is, even thought their values are incorrect
-dealing with moronic surprised you can breathe idiot buyers
-ebay treating sellers like dirt on their shoes
buying stuff
-idiot sellers selling same stuff as you but giving it away and clearly making a loss
fees - ebay is mega expensive to sell - a £200 item costs £20-30 to sell PLUS postage costs, unless you've covered postage separately. amazon used to a lot cheaper
- takes forever to list on ebay - 10 years ago it took seconds, now it takes minutes

I'd be flabbergasted if that's true. As far as I'm aware, the salt isn't used for the address so won't prevent them from checking based on name / postcode matching. It's used for the password (and maybe certain card details) and therefore prevents password cracking based on pre-computed dictionary attacks (rainbow tables).

Doesn't PCI dictate rules just for storage / transmission of card details? Certainly it doesn't prevent email address comparisons, otherwise you could create accounts using the same email address without adding a dot...so if the email address *is* for some reason hashed (and I don't think it is - why would it be?? it is used to contact you and is shown in your account details so a plaintext version must be stored somewhere...) it is not salted.

They could simply store a hashed house number + postcode with every account and when a new account is set up, check this value against a hash of the "new" house number + postcode. If that matches. they could then check the names. If they match then it is not a new account.

They could even do this with the last four digits of the CC number on top of the name (again I'm pretty sure that's stored in plaintext because IIRC that's also visible in the payment cards section of your account settings).

So I'm pretty sure Amazon is tolerating this for some reason. Rather like the way Microsoft tolerates a certain amount of piracy or US cops tolerate drinking on the street (as long as one uses a paper bag).

I just watched The Man With Two Brains on Prime so that's a great start....

You seem nice.

Exactly the reason why I won't subscribe to Prime.
The sooner Clarkson and the Midget are put down the better.
May at least has a brain between his ears.

​When I said two minutes I was really exaggerating but thanks for helping me with my math.

My point still stands. Even if it takes half an hour or an hour in total over the year, then I am being paid a pretty decent tax free wage for that time.

People will spend longer chasing less from cashback sites.

This is just my opinion however, you spend your money how you like Mr Fatty.

Thanks for the heads up op.

last years £59 cheaper prime ran out today, I'd already cancelled auto renew so I signed back up for £59 today.

Same time next year?!

Cancelled a moment (was due to end 18th Dec) ago via chat, resigned for £59

You won't subscribe to prime because you don't like two people on a program you have to physically seek out and download/stream to watch? That makes sense.

How do you get to the chat? Mine's due to end today.

To get to chat follow "Help" from the top bar, then scroll down to "need more help?", and on to "contact us". There's then a "Prime and more" tab where you scroll down to complete section 2 to get the chat option.
Just sorted my own out, cheers OP

Mines due to expire tomorrow (18th) shall i wait until then and try signing up under this offer, or shall I chat with amazon CS and have them cancel it today?

Mine was too. I figured a lot more people will be trying to contact support tomorrow so best off getting it sorted today

Just think, your donation to Amazon of £59 could pay a driver to deliver parcels for 15 hours.

Just renewed my Prime... after letting it expire first. Think it expired at noon today and renewed it this evening, thus saving myself 20...

Fortunate timing as I know the deal on this ends tomorrow evening...

R

I know it shocked me when I had the email and then googled it. Its opened my eyes though and now don't get to engrossed into an eco system like amazon.

I won't subscribe to Prime because part of my £79 would go to funding the £160m + that Amazon are reportedly spending indulging these three.
Offer me Prime at a decent price without all the useless fripperies and I'll bite.

​so am i !!!!!!

done.....thankyou.

Work it out to weekly payments and it's a no brainer really for emergency presents, and the other bonuses however small they maybe. or share it with some trusted friends/ family split the cost! You'd probably lose that down the back of the sofa anyway.

I don't have prime and rarely use them but an electrical item malfunctioned after 4 months and they replaced straight away, then the same item had the same fault 1 month before warranty and they gave me full refund.Now I cant fault amazon great customer service but what as loyalty got to do with it.

hey dudes...

i dont know if this has been mentioned... but this deal isn't restricted to just new members.
i joined prime this time last year for £59, and ive just renewed again for £59.
no tricks or anything, i just clicked on the ''£59 PRIME'' banner.

hope this helps someone.

I have had prime for over a year. I had lots of post issues but they just kept giving me 1 month free. I ended up having 1 months free trial, a years Prime for £79, then had 6 months free and when I went to sign up again it gave me a 30 day trial again. I saw this offer, spoke to them on chat and they said they could cancel it and i could take out Prime again for £59.

I can confirm that this did work. I paid £59 for another year prime. Works out around £4.91 a month.

I cancelled renewal last night as my subscription was also due to renew at £79 today. Couldn't automatically renew at £59 as it wasn't showing me the special banner, but got on to chat and they sorted it. They sent me the link for the banner and I rejoined again for £59 this morning. Happy cat!

"The Grand Tour" is live and already has a staggering 98% 4 or 5 stars

Hey Ho

my current subscription doesnt run out til february, i wonder now if they would let me have it for £59.00. I spend so much with amazon they are a bit more expensive but the sheer convience of them and there next day prime for me is a massive plus.

Can I ask how to find the Amazon chat. Been round the web site a few times and havent managed to find it. My subscription runs out tonight same time as when the offer ends. Hoping they can sort me out too.

Wow thanks, not going to bother now.

I will pay nothing that might contribute to the income of the Three Stooges.

I have to admit Taylor Swift has made some incredible songs. For that reason alone, imma swiftie.

My prime ended yesterday. today I received an email offering it for £59 :smile:

If the first episode is anything to go by, The Grand Tour is worth the price of Prime alone! Utterly brilliant.

At the bottom of the Amazon page, under 'Let Us Help You', click on 'Amazon Assistant'.

Then at the bottom of the next page, under 'Need help?', click on 'contact us'.

Thanks for the helpful comments. My prime membership ends today and just been on chat to get them to terminate it so that I can sign up with the £59 offer - which worked fine. As others have noted the option to not auto renew is not currently showing so will need to manually track that (and hope for the same offer again next year)

Wife's prime ran out yesterday, I signed up and added her to my account saving £20

Happy Days

I ended up doing the same thing. Ended my month to month early and was able to sign up for the 60pound deal. I did it through the Amazon Chat which they don't make easy to find. I'm sure google has a link.

have been paying monthly for the last few months went on to chat and asked for the 59 option, after a bit of messing about they cancelled my subscription and told me to resubscribe from the home page and it worked

Just split the cost with my mate, bargain!

Finally gone for Prime also. For £59 it is worth it after watching The Grand Tour at a mates.

its like having top gear on bbc again. but you have to buy prime instead of a tv licence

Well like some of you trying to renew prime membership. Mines was due for renewal after the 18th, same date the promo was going to end. Spoke to customer services and they said that they would auto renewal it for me.
Checked today, nope it wasnt renewed. Spoke to them said i had missed the date and as i have previously ticked for for my membership nt to be renewed. So it did nt go thro. Why didnt they tell me this , if it was the case i could of unticked it.
So looks like no prime for me, wrote a email see if they can sort this out or i will shopping else where. Oh wells.

If you phone 0800 496 1081 ask to speak to a supervisor they will 100% find a satisfactory solution in your favour.

I agree they have the best customer services although I would like to know why prime is only €49 on amazon Germany maybe they would price match themselves.

DEAL IS OVVVVVERRRRR! kill it please.

missed it, is there anyway to still get this? refer a friend or a code or something?

​Can't say they have the best service anymore.
If prices dropped shortly after being ordered they would credit you. Not anymore, must be a change of policy. Just contacted them at two different times and different service staff.
One item hadn't even arrived, and one account we are even paying for prime.
Hope they are not getting too big and turning into another eBay with their s_d the customer policy.

Yes Sir!

In the US 2 day delivery (unless you have a fulfilment centre near by)

cost $99.00 https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2014/3/13/5503908/amazon-prime-price-increases-to-99-per-year-in-us?client=safari
so £80.21 for a day more than UK

We mustn't grumble.

what is amazon prime?
