Since I cancelled my prime membership I've saved a fortune. I shop a lot less on Amazon now.

If amazon fix their search engine they can get a lot more business.
What a waste and crap the search engine. The moment you select low to high it start showing completely irrelevant items.

Everybody



:laughing:

Cheers chichi :smile:

Nice one Chanchi' hottttttttttt :sunglasses:

Dang not for existing monthly members :disappointed:

Does this include prime video etc etc

Please update what answer you got.

Cheers chichi :smile:

Thanks OP..

Was waiting for weeks! :smile:

Just get a nus card uni email and keep getting the free 6 months. Wouldn't waste my money on prime

Does this offer include people who have had prime before?

Good deal, not as cheap as student though!

So is prime day coming up? (Sorry slightly off topic but it is mentioned in original post.....)

how? Or says only for new members!

Now I am tempted

damn, mine still got some months to run. hopefully they do it again then.

I'm still using the free trial and will move onto the student free trial after

Since I cancelled my prime membership I've saved a fortune. I shop a lot less on Amazon now.

Everybody



:laughing:

Dunno whether to bother with this again . Are the films any better or still mostly b rated rubbish?

Thanks OP

I took out the deal 2 years ago where you share membership with main member and 4 others for £13.00 for the year.
I complained for 12 times for late delivery and got us all an extention of prime for one extra year free.
Ive just renewed for £13.00 again for another year.Just hope for late delivery.

I've been waiting for this!

I got told "Sorry this is for New Prime members only" - so I cancelled my monthly subscription and will try again on the 2nd (as my current month ends on the 1st)

Just been in touch with Amazon.

This offer is only for new customers. Existing customers cannot renew using this offer. :disappointed:

Me too! Mine ran out in January. My postman finished work late because of me lol

Was thinking of signing up for the free trial for Prime Day but I might jump on this now

My membership has just expired. This came at the right time. Thanks OP!
HOT :smiley:

mine expires in November, can I buy now and will it continue?

I'd like to know also.

So I renewed my Prime recently...can I order an extra year at this price and it be tacked onto the current membership?

I don't mean literally (she might though) :laughing:

Any codes to get it cheaper still too expensive.

prime vid and music load of rubbish. all the good stuff you have to pay extra. on the whole stuff on ebay is cheaper than amazon with free postage. for this price amazon ought to throw in a free echo dot

Yo

You make 12 accounts with 12 different email addresses then you activate one free trial each month.Then when you finish the 12th one you go back to the first one which is eligible again for prime trial :wink: so you see its free all year round.

I think it all depends how much you value your time lol. Plus I kind of really like having all my orders listed in one place, just in case I have to send anything back etc.

I think what he means is now there's no Prime on his account he's less inclined to actually buy stuff from Amazon - I know quite often I see the little Prime logo on an item and get excited buying stuff for no real reason, it's a bit of an addiction I suppose and I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this

I pay for kindle unlimited, can I cancel that and get the same benefits plus more with prime?

Got a link to Amazon for £50 ??? :man:

Hey, I wonder if there's a connection between fraud and prices.

Damn, just clicked through to see if I could gst this deal and when my membership expired.
Ajtomatically took £79 off me 2 weeks ago. I was sure I had auto renewal off grrr.

Only use it for the music and quicker delivery. Never watched a single movie or own a kindle. Downloaded a few mags but not really warmed to the pdf concept.

So £6.58 a month for the music service and a few quicker deliveries (used the 2 hour delivery for griceries a few times)
Prob just about pays itself. Though not a mega deal. If I used more services I think it would be a lot better.

Just wish I had seen this deal. Could have got the mrs to sign up and saved £20

If you aren't using all the prime services, you are being overcharged for delivery.
Stupid idea not to offer prime delivery only at a cheaper price, I don't think I will ever see this deal as good value, even if it dropped to student prices.

It's not a surprise people create new accounts to take advantage..

I know that this is a bit of a "Grey Area" question, but I use Kodi a lot and any Kodi user knows that it [u]can be[u] unreliable at times... Would anyone else think that this is a better choice to use as a 2nd streaming source (after Sky) over Kodi? Or am I better off saving myself £59 and just sticking to Kodi as a streaming source? My belief is that Amazon would probably be more reliable/stable...? Input???

Cheers Chanchi been waiting for this! Thank youuuuuuu :sunglasses:

I renewed on the 14th June. Just had an online chat and got a full refund and re-joined for £59
Thanks

No it doesn't - the 11th is Prime Day itself, but it actually starts at 6pm on the 10th, according to the massive banner on the Amazon front page.

Not sure it's even worth it anymore. Prime video isn't a patch on what it used to be and Prime delivery is moving to 2 days, not to mention the decline in customer service.

had renewed 3rd June, spoke to chat got full refund of £79 and rejoined for £59. thanks

New customers only.

I've been paying monthly so got onto the chat. They refunded this months £7.99 and cancelled the membership which allowed to to sign straight up again for the £59 on the same account.

Do you get free magazines? I've got prime and never knew

What did you mention this deal and they agreed to refund you the £20 or did they refund and then auto renew at £59?

Currently on holiday, so wifi dodgy but back home at weekend so prob be 3 weeks in by then. Be nice if it's quick to do and will try whilst I'm out here? Was it the chat service you used?

You have to do your homework before you buy anything from anywhere.......especially if it's a big cash buy
Lots of choice and bargains out there for the quick and the dead....lucky.......plus unfortunately scammers...:wink:

I'm an existing prime member with auto-renewal turned off. This offer isn't available to me. I won't be renewing at £79/year as I don't use any of the additional features like Amazon video.

Oh, thanks, I'll try that.

Perfect. I only cancelled last week with last years £59 offer. Thanks xx xx

what about the payment method, with the credit/debit card? 12 different accounts but with the same credit / debit card??

hi. I am absolutely blind. Did you get free unlimited next day delivery for 1 year with Amazon prime?

No thanks Amazon. I buy quite a lot from you but you are no longer prime for me. The recent sudden discontinuation of unlimited storage on Amazon Drive to customers in the USA would indicate that Amazon should find it difficult to convince wary customers that it can be trusted. I was not an Amazon Drive customer - other than the free 5GB it used to offer years ago - so I've no axe to grind but I think this is shoddy way to conduct business. Unlimited photographic storage is currently part of the Prime package. If this features highly in convincing yourself you need Prime, you should bear these bait and switch practices in mind - Prime Membership may become less prime at any moment and therefore less of a bargain.

It also includes Sunday deliveries.

However, on the basis of where I live, next day delivery from Amazon has been known to be 2 days. Unless I get it delivered to an Amazon locker at work.

It was in a survey they sent me, filled it in in exchange for a £4 Amazon voucher. Most likely changing to be in line with the US.

+1, give me just the shopping/delivery bits of Prime for sub-£40, and I'd sign up in a flash.

Heat added Chanchi :innocent:

Thanks OP! I went on to chat, they cancelled my free trial and I was able to sign up at the £59 annual offer so very happy!

I have found their search to be rather strange. Like it might say 2500 products then only lets me browse 20 pages... I find it very frustrating to use. And that for a non-Prime user that most prices are coming up with Prime and I sometimes can't find an option to buy for as a non-Prime user...

It's £80 on Amazon. Coincidentally the 37C is exactly the same price on Wickes, and they DO actual free next day delivery. Not 'free' as in pay a monthly fee and you get something 'free'.

You're welcome.

and little voice in my right ear saying that (that's only £2.50 a month if you share prime with your flatmate " :smile:

£59 not a bad price they will do deals on prime day as well i guess

Totally agree can be so frustrating trying to find genuinely good items and not cheap crap. Sometimes has double results with same item but varying quality. I use Amazon a lot so prime is worth it for me but has made me grind my teeth as it gets bigger they are obviously not managing it as well.

The one I hate are all the clearly paid reviews who are bribed to say the product is amazing.... It's getting abused so much by the cheap tat produces, they should put a end to that as I can't seem to be able to trust the reviews any more.

I'm currently paying £7.99 p/m, but if I select to pay anually it's showing as £79. Anyone have any idea as to how to get it to £59?

Is it possible to share an account with my partner at no additional cost?

I didn't get to talk to anyone as the message on the phone asked if I wanted to cancel prime and I confirmed I did. It then said my payment for £79 would be refunded.
I then signed up again online after I put the phone down.

doubt it, the size of america it has to be 2 days

why would they be pushing prime now same day and then change normal prime to 2 days

Mine renewed two days ago, so sad

Ahhhh ... The compulsory sarcastic answer I was looking for... Any actual helpful answers out there? Just looking for an answer off someone with actual knowledge of the 2 products in comparison... (None of this "use a legal stream" rubbish)

Anyone who wants this deal, and is stuck in a monthly membership, an easy solution for you...

Just make a new account with a different email address (everything else can be the same) and then sign up for the £59 deal. Cancel the monthly membership on your other account and you're good to go!

Mate I was using XBMC 10 years ago before it became Kodi. I have full knowledge of all the products. You can't compare streams on Kodi to Amazon Prime Video. You're comparing apples and pears. One is instant, HD or even 4k, the other requires a degree of messing around and rarely has bit rates higher than 2000kbps. Granted, that approaches the 720p standard, but you are trying to compare two different things.

It's the compulsory sarcastic answer to the seeming obligatory daft question.

You might as well ask something like "How does that F-Type Jag compare to my Kia Picanto?"

Thanks Chanchi :wink:

But you lose all your purchase history and the benefits that brings to your 'sugar index' which Amazon consult if you need to return / refund / replace. Seems hardly worth it to save £1.75 a month IMO.

The size of America shouldn't have any bearing unless they are using centralised distribution and I would be surprised if a company which has basically revolutionised logistics would use single centre disti tactics.

i was paying £7.99 a month, cancelled that (getting £7.99 refund for this month) and then got this. Thank you very much!

F-Type Jag? I love those cars.

check out the newly announced XE SV Project 8 :confused:

I just renewed my year membership for £79 :disappointed:

Yes, there are too many paid reviews and they get boosted to the top of the list. Every time I see it says it was "unbiased" from a free sample I ignore it. It also annoys me that some places lie about where it's being sent from and takes weeks to arrive =(

No thanks Amazon. I buy quite a lot from you but you are no longer prime for me. The recent sudden discontinuation of unlimited storage on Amazon Drive to customers in the USA would indicate that Amazon should find it difficult to convince wary customers that it can be trusted. I was not an Amazon Drive customer - other than the free 5GB it used to offer years ago - so I've no axe to grind but I think this is shoddy way to conduct business. Unlimited photographic storage is currently part of the Prime package. If this features highly in convincing yourself you need Prime, you should bear these bait and switch practices in mind - Prime Membership may become less prime at any moment and therefore less of a bargain.

Brilliant - just signed up (again), thanks OP :smiley:

Just waiting for you, prime day! I am coming...

i think unless you sign up with a new email address there's no way around it if you have already been a prime member

So you feel so strongly that you still buy a lot from them, and pay extra for the postage...

You show em !

Just followed the link, signed in using existing account details and got a year for £59.

Been waiting for this- thank you :smiley:

You can create a new account each month or as and when you require to use their services. Everything remains the same other than changing email address. Do not close each account but just delete payment method in order to use in new account. All you have to do is keep a note of each email address to sign back in if you have to return something. You can use a certain address with each month at the end, pretty easy. Takes no time at all and is free forever.

Even doing it this way, it is still not that great. The music is not very good, and apart from a couple of decent original shows the TV part isn't great either. Next day is good if you can actually find something that is a good price. Often though it is not competitive.

Definately not a service worth paying for, in my opinion.

Did you need a new email? Chat is saying rejoining would be at 79.

id only use it for the delivery so wish there was a prime delivery only option though do you still get the £2 discount on pre-order games ect like i saw the other month

I think it's worth a subscription just for the TV shows alone. If you've got a 4K TV, and most if not all Amazon Originals are available in 4K, then the quality is absolutely astonishing. The Grand Tour, for example, looks incredible. Amerian Gods, which is as mad as a lorry, is the latest in the line of excellent shows they've made. I also like watching the AO pilots too. The films could be better though, there's a lot of crap alongside some gems. Netflix has this problem too though, albeit it's slightly better for movies.

Use exodus on kodi

Managed to get this eventually by doing a 2nd chat. I was originally told there was no offer on. My monthly prime was cancelled and I signed up again for £59 while I was on chat, so sorted. I was waiting for this. Thanks Chanchi.

No way, my Prime membership was renewed just last week. confused

watch out some items which are prime eligble are more expensive than if you choice to take the option which is not prime but still have free delivery. I have come across multiple items from same seller where prime item is more expensive than the same item but does not have prime delivery eligibility.

i went on livechat and they did mine there and then i do it every year despite been a active prime user over 2 year they cancel current one and renew at this price each time.

In regards to Amazon Prime music that is part of the deal, can it run on multiple devices? - i.e. more than one Amazon Echo? (not that I have one yet!)

I'm aware of one Music plan that will only work on one Amazon Echo device "Amazon Music Unlimted Echo plan" as opposed to "Amazon Music Unlimted invidiaul plan" - I'm assuming "Prime Music" can work on multiple devices but just has a smaller, 2 million song, library compared to the 40 million songs on the Unlimited plans?

Amazon don't make it easy to understand!!

Bit of both, prefer other vendors and not too bothered about delivery.
Still use occasionally, but my Amazon spending has gone from maybe a thousand a year, to less than £100.

Would recommend this to anyone who uses amazon. The next day deliver never misses a beat. The Prime Original shows are quite good as well!

As a Prime user who was a student then took the remainder for £ 39 I was happy paying that... however... the real benefit I have from it using Amazon Prime Now... which had been handy for quick food deliveries. The movies have been lacking badly for a long time now. they arent updated regularly. A lot of movies I had saved that were on Prime I've went back to view and theyve been taken off Prime and back to having to pay for them which is pretty crappy really. If youre an avid shopper and like the quick delivery it's worth it and with the new books deal and music but it's not the no brainer it once was imo :smiley:

Are there any magic words for this. Even though I'm only pay monthly, their chat support said I started a year ago, it's only for new customers, goodbye.

Yay! Thank you, my Prime is about to expire...

My Prime doesn't expire until the 15th September. I sent them an email asking what I could do to take the £59 offer. They called and said what they would do is refund me £20 when the £79 comes out of my account in September. They've also replied to my email to them so I have proof my renewal comes around :-)

Think I might bite at this pricepoint.

Question to existing subscribers:
Do you get free streaming access to their complete library of TV shows?
Is any of the content in 4K?
How to stream the music library to a phone / tablet?
Can you download any music to play offline?

I have done as many others, done a live chat Cancelled then renewed with the offer. :innocent:

Yes to all of that. Their TV and music is just like any other service really, but with a far smaller selection.

I'm so jealous !! grrrrrr

Well I'm getting nowhere on chat. I renewed without realising with no renewal email a month ago and they want to refund me £60 and then I renew. at £59 So £19 charge for one month? He's now checking with supervisor.

In the end the gave me a full refund which was overly generous and I'm now on £59 so hopefully I can take advantage next year if they do it again.

Whats the limitations behind Amazon Prime? Mentioned it to my sister living on the other end of the country, and was going to go halves on it, but not sure what is limited? Can 2 people have access to the video and music side at the same time?

Thanks, but it doesn't answer one of my questions?

How to stream the music library to a phone / tablet?

Me too. Like sex on wheels. Hubba hubba.

Turns out my Prime auto-renewed on 23 Jun, just cancelled it (for a £72 refund) and now renewed it again at this price :sunglasses:

amazon used to have some good lightning deals

nothing but a bunch of rubbish for months now

I have had the same and runs out on July 5th after two years , haven't they changed the ruling on sharing with four other people now? Or can you still do it?

You install the Amazon music app. Can play through wifi or download to your devide to listen offline.

What's Prime reading? free kindle books?

Monthly membership expires after 3rd July so the website would not allow me to sign up for the discounted price.

Spoke to Amazon through chat and had them completely remove the remaining period of my membership. Wasn't able to get a refund as I've had over 10 same / next day deliveries this month but I can sign up for the annual membership at £59 now.

I use Amazon video and the Kindle Lending Library so well worth it in my situation.

I had Prime renewed last week at £79, complained and got a £20 voucher back. win-win

Preacher is worth £59 on its own.

Thanks to the few on here that suggested having a word with Live Chat. They said if I put on a new payment card, they'll debit £79 and refund £20 (my subscription ran out yesterday).

As there's a few family members on the Prime account, on the expiry date (yesterday) the alerts on their pages implied "another card on file" would be debited - wasn't sure who would be the unlucky one, so I deleted all the payment cards!

No thanks Amazon. I buy quite a lot from you but you are no longer prime for me. The recent sudden discontinuation of unlimited storage on Amazon Drive to customers in the USA would indicate that Amazon should find it difficult to convince wary customers that it can be trusted. I was not an Amazon Drive customer - other than the free 5GB it used to offer years ago - so I've no axe to grind but I think this is shoddy way to conduct business. Unlimited photographic storage is currently part of the Prime package. If this features highly in convincing yourself you need Prime, you should bear these bait and switch practices in mind - Prime Membership may become less prime at any moment and therefore less of a bargain.

How do you get onto live chat with them, can't see a link!
I started my monthly membership 3 days ago!! Would like to go for thsi, if poss.

thanks - mine renewed on 13 May. went on chat and they refunded straight away so I could resign at the lower rate.

Chat allowed me to cancel my current sub that runs out next week, and start again at this price. Fair play

I don't even use the Prime delivery much its just a bonus when I need it. £4.91 for Video, Music, Cloud storage and Books is a good deal. There's loads of good TV series on Amazon Video, it'll keep me going for years

You must be the cool kid round here

Funny how i can easily get 1080p movies and live sports and hd tv on my nvidia shield tv with kodi!

acestream says hello.

What you on about?

Prime is 2 days delivery in america, always has been, because of the logistics lol

uk has always been 1 day because of the logistics

so back to my original comment, why would they change it to 2 days in this country

My other half had a one month Prime membership. Tried to get the £59 Prime yearly on hers, and wasn't possible. So took out the £59 yearly on my non-prime account and cancelled her Prime, which still has a couple of weeks to run. I have a Dot, and had a one month Amazon Music Unlimited account when I first got that, so annoying can't get this 4 months for 99p, but have just ordered it on the OH's account, which I will run through Echo. A bit of a long way around, but have both Amazon deals now. Thanks OPs.

Got this for £59 by clicking on the get deal link being a previous Prime customer and subscribing back to Prime. :smiley:



No brainer at this price for £4.91 a month.

Don't forget to take auto-renew off so you're not charged £79 the following year.

Can confirm CS will match this offer for existing customers.

Yeah, but I like to see what's in the grass collection box without lifting the lid. (j/k). Not forgetting the price is also now 80 quid at Wickes. cheeky . What are their original TV series like, BTW? Can't see any reference to them on their site. Wickes Music? Wickes free reading? Wickes cloud storage? I think we should be told...we may have a Prime rival on our hands here and no-one seems to know about it...

You're very welcome.

This this this! >>>

I've just renewed and I'm a heavy user of Prime I order 5-10 items per week for work.

I e-mailed them and without quibble they've refunded £20

i have spoke to two different people on chat. am paying £7.99 monthly. They both say i cant have the £59 offer.

can anyone help me out on this?

Thank you HUKD. I spoke with 'Paulson' in Amazon chat, cancelled monthly Prime, just renewed at £59 offer price. Now I can spend even more of my unemployment benefits on tobacco and alcohol.

Annoying that there is no option for current prime members to pay this reduced price to extend by 12 months :disappointed:

But that's illegal mate. Wink.

My Prime expires on the 8th July :disappointed:

You can order from eBay but I've found that Amazon after sales service is great. Anything goes wrong even after the year they'll generally replace or refund.

Cool, will take a look when I get home.

I use the next-day delivery a lot, in fact I do about 80% of all my shopping (including groceries) through Amazon.

I also signed up for Amazon Music since you get a £2 discount as a Prime member and I was paying £10 a month to Spotify.

I watch a lot of Amazon Prime video too, got suckered in with The Grand Tour and now watch Bosch and The Americans.

Their free photo backup service is great too, it means my iCloud library is backed up to Amazon and Google free of charge.

Not for everyone but I've found Amazon to be an efficient service across the board.

My membership is due to expire on the 6th of July, I asked if i could renew at this lower price (over live chat) and they refused.

Went on forever with them about getting it at the lower price and the only option i had was to open a completely new amazon account.

Google Play Music is exactly the same.

Not found Amazon CS to be that great, advertised a collectors item (Rise of the tomb raider) then sent out the standard copy. I inquired it a few times before it arrived and each agent told me something different.

Item arrived, I complained, was told to send it back. Towards the end of the chat I asked if I could have any compensation for wasting my time, and falsifying my purchase (should've just cancelled the order and not changed the item), and was told "because I didn't ask that at the start of the conversation, I can not add any compensation to your account."

So I don't bother with their BS any more.

late to the party. such a great and useful deal. kudos to Chanchi.

Great been waiting for this offer superb well pleased heat added

Click Help/Need more help?/Contact us/Tell us more about your issue/other questions/something else/CHAT.
That was my route, then ask to cancel and renew on £59 per year. I received no refund for this month as I've used postage , music etc multiple times. Well worth 5 minutes of time.

Next day delivery has been cut down on a lot of stuff now like used to be all items with a prime logo was next day now it's like next day after tomorrow

But you simply can't compare Amazon's superb CS with any old seller on eBay. Obviously Prime gives you the benefit of even the smallest order being with you the next day or, if you aren't in a massive rush, opt for standard free delivery and get a pound Amazon digital credit...

Ok will give it a go

I know but I was replying to someone with an Amazon Dot.

Cancelled monthly Prime on chat and signed up for £59 thanks to advice on here. Cheers!

I only signed up for Amazon Prime last week. Monthly at £7.99. Went into the chat and asked if I could go for this instead. They refunded me £4 (because I'd used it for one delivery so far) and then cancelled it. This £59 offer then showed up on my home page and I was able to apply.

I'm on a free trial at the moment will it apply to me? also how do you sign up and when? Thank you!

Not had superb service from Amazon's customer service. So that will be down to each user.

EBay, if something goes wrong I get my money back. Not had any issues with that and ordering from retail companies with eBay if an item is damaged they've told me to keep the original and sent out a replacement. (3 times that's happened).

When I quit using amazon prime they were handing out pantry credit (never used it) when you do slow delivery.

Soooo... subscription expires on 10th July. I share Prime with four family members who (ahem) live in other locations... If I cancel, can I renew at lower price, and the four family members continue with their Prime perks?

Nice find, Chi-Chi! :smile: I think HUKD would shut down if you weren't around. Heat Added.

I buy from Amazon when they are the cheapest. I have had the patience to opt for free delivery every time or curb my urge to buy. As I say, I have no axe to grind - merely pointing out past performance to the unwary.

Just spoke with CS, they said they can cancel my membership now and I can re-buy immediately at the lower price. My prime expires in 26 days or so so doing that now. That's £20 saved :smiley:

Normally for students is half price so it will be around £30 now?

I subscribe to kindle prime.... is this included in amazon prime?

Agreed. It can help if you tick "prime only" and "4 stars +" before sorting low-->high, but even then you're faced with lots of £0.99 items unrelated to your search.

Get an NUS student card and get it for £39....

I am prime customers and my member ships runs out 6th July they told me as long as I renew by 9th July I will get for £59

I can't see the prime offer for 59, if I click on the get deal it comes up as £79, not been a prime customer previous?

Is there any way to pay for membership using your gift card balance? Thanks

I am not bothered. It was good a few years ago but now hardly find anything cheaper on Amazon. Especially more and more retailers do price check. Cold from me. Sorry. Its not worth £59

Let's not mince words here...Amazon has gone to sh*t, the way all these big corporations do once they've seen off the competition...hardly any good HUKD Amazon deals anymore, they just want to recruit a few more slavish non-thinking mugs to the Amazon Family with Amazon Prime Day...well good luck with that!

thanks... it's kindle unlimited I subscribe to. seems to be a separate thing

Cancelled mine 3 days ago instead of renewing at £79 knowing this was coming up, just signed up for another year saving £20 :smiley: Thanks

Thanks! Have sorted it now.

Mine renewed for £79 a few days ago. Called customer services and said I'd seen the £59 offer and was told sorry but new customers only Told them I wanted to cancel and they are refunding the £79. Since renewal I hadn't used any Prime benefits so full refund. Bit surprised they didn't offer a free month or something but was in two minds about renewing anyway.

Has anyone confirmed yet if student prime is now £30?

thanks. I read a lot more than I watch TV or order from Amazon so I'll stick with kindle unlimited.

Prime includes next day delivery. Though it seems products with Prime delivery are always more expensive than the same without Prime.....

Is this the family one or just for one person.

If it's just for films I would say avoid Now TV (behind TV) unless you don't care about Full HD. Netflix is a better alternative.

managed to cancel monthly subscription and sign a up to offer so all sorted now. thanks for your help everyone. :smile:

I prefer Now TV to Amazon Prime TV

Guys if i take this can i add my wife and 2 sons on it will they have same as me and be able to use there own cards etc to order etc.
Cheers.

Waw , this is amazing deal but only for new member

they said because I pay monthly and my monthly subscription runs out after the offer has ended to pay the £79, then contact them and they will refund the extra £20 .

Don`t talk ****!
You`d bite their hand off for £5.90 a year.

Just be a student and get it half price.

I've done this several times before, just cancel it and buy it again, or go on chat and get them to do it, very rarely they will just refund you £20

Love prime apart from the music. The streaming quality is awful compared to free Spotify

has the pay monthly cost reduced too?

My prime expires in November. Will they refund me for remaining months? Or will it start after November?

sooo many comments! I use my wifes prime account but did persuade one of my bosses to upgrade my office "IT" account for the quick delivery etc. I use the wife's prime on my PS4 for the video. highlights are Bosch, Preacher, American Gods, Rifftrax. Movies are ok but nowt to get excited about.

So you are overpaying a bit by paying monthly. I pay once a year.

I have not used my free one month trail membership. Can I sign up to the one month free trail membership and tag this deal on to the back of the one month membership, effectively making it £59 for 13 months?

I have student prime which expires in three weeks. I emailed them asking if I can upgrade to full prime and they wrote back advising they have cancelled my student membership, refunded me for the full year (even though my year is up in three weeks) and to sign up again at the offer price. I went to sign up but it offered me student prime again.

Either way if you email them they seem receptive to offering you the deal if you are an existing customer.

Can't remember which they did for me last time, think they refunded me remaining months

Reminds me, think my subs due soon :disappointed:

For those on a monthly sub, just initiate a chat via your Amazon account. Took 5 minutes tonight to cancel my monthly sub, which typically was due to end the day after this offer expired, and sign up for the £59 deal. Piece of cake.

Cheers to the OP ;-)

prime tv has about 3 good tv shows on it and no decent movies... even at this price it's not a great deal to me. just subscribe for a month and watch what little there is there

Instant Video is worth getting since Season 2 of Preacher just started this week

Interesting. What was your approach? Did you just ask to go on the £59 deal, or was it a cancellation/retention thing?

Just spoke to customer services as my prime auto renewed in May. Figured it was worth a punt. Argued a bit but they eventually refunded me the £79 and let me renew at £59. Originally they offered to cancel the membership with £0 refund and let me rebuy it at £59.. when I pointed out this would have been £79 for one month they changed their tune..

Does the month sub go down to £5.99 then?

just use new email everytime and u get one month free. and they reset ur past membership details after a while. so u can use emails again after a year.

i don't see much value than fast delivery.

Just buy an NUS extra card. Then get 6 months free and then £39 a year.

Only £39 for students after their trial ends

Prime sucks. Prime video is awful compared to Netflix and Amazon are turning their site into a paid membership model. I'm currently a member and the upcoming Prime day is just a slap in the face to customers.

I was on pay monthly, changed this to pay yearly, got a message saying will be changed £79
Then proceeded to cancel got another message to say will be refunded £79
Then got the splash screen to sign up for a year of Prime for £59
Lets see what happens, might have to raise it with CS, can't see them dragging their feet to sort it out one way or another.

Wasn't a big deal at all. Been monthly for 3 months, with my current month up on July 4th. Asked if I could take advantage of the £59 annual offer and they just cancelled my monthly, which meant the new offer showed up on my home page.

Lost a few days of my last monthly sub, but I've had plenty out of it so can live with that.

Don't get the negative comments on here based around singular aspects of Prime, such as video - it's much more than that. £5 a month for everything they offer? No brainer for me :wink:

I cancelled my Prime about a month ago and have just renewed online using this offer. Worked for me!

I cancelled my Prime about a month ago and have just renewed online using this offer. Worked for me!

I was pay monthly, CS cancelled and I reordered the offer price! Ta

Grow your hair and listen to the Levellers.

this is so annoying every year. I started my prime in July so I can't cancel. Well I can cancel but my prime continues until the 20th and if I end it and restart it just says it'll take the £79 on the 20th July :disappointed:

How quickly do you lose access to your saved photos when you cancel your account? Tempted to cancel and renew, but the thought having to back up my photos again gives me the fear.

I have cancelled my current monthly prime membership and subscribe to the new prime membership £59. Even it says new prime membership, after i cancelled my subscription and get started with reduced price membership it accepted.

Can confirm this can be done with a current monthly sub. My next 7.99 payment was on 14th July. I changed to £79 annually, confirmed, end membership, confirm. Then rejoin at £59. Literally one step after the other, took 30 seconds. Thanks

Do you have to pay the full year up front or do they charge a reduced monthly fee?

Moved from monthly to 59 sub via CS chat.

Thanks op

Though I've been signed up for Amazon for well over 15 years, I still don't really get the point of this and have never laid out for it.

The video selection, once you've gotten past the small amount of fancy titles on top, is sub Youtube dreck. I've never been in enough of a hurry to want the postage either.

I've got an NUS, how do I do this please?

that's the first time I've heard of that. Does that option still exist and do you have a link? Cheer

Anyone want to sell me a Prime slot for £10 as i remember doing this last year in a similar thread long time member and all that, let me know thx.

totally agree, they also need to include a way of filtering out things with only one or two ratings. for generic stuff like charging cables i sort by average customer review and would love to be able to filter out all the single 5* reviews

That's a deal... Love it.. <3

I'm technically a student. The opportunities crop up on here from time to time.

My method was as follows: Sign up to Groupon Ireland: buy lifetime membership of children writing course for £14: use course details to sign up to NUS & buy NUS card (also £14) = lifetime NUS card eligibility.

There are many cheap courses online that the NUS recognise as classing you a student, even though you may not write a single word of a children's story!

I pay annually, which means I will not get any type of refund for my 5 remaining months.

Has anyone cancelled their annually paid membership and had a refund for outstanding months? I don't think this is possible.

i was paying monthly due to the membership ending in may, knew prime day was coming up so just did monthly until I could get the discount in the year membership

NO Amazon stopped this feature. I think you can only have 2 people on the account now but im not sure.
I was on the deal before they stopped it.

Does this work if you've had a free trial?
I've just signed up and says i'll be charged £7.99 or if I change to annually it would be £79

No but mine is due for renewal in September. I got in touch with them and they have refunded me £20 so when it comes up for renewal it'll be like this £59 deal.

Ok managed to sort it. I'd signed up monthly rather than annually
Bring on Prime day now

is there any real benefit for me to pay a little extra over my amazon student renewal?

Thank you so much. And do you know if one who has been a student prime before and cancelled if they can take it out again benefitting from the first 6 months of free membership via NUS or thats a one time thing?

Had 12 days left on my current annual membership. Asked them to cancel my current membership on Web Chat then could renew using link above at £59.

How do I get into Amazon web chat, my yearly subscription run until December and I want to ask them how I can get this deal

So I got a £40 refund, I had 6 months remaining and then took it out again fine

As I've done this a few times, sometimes I have had a £20 refund (close to renewal I think), pro rata refund (not so close to renewal)

Seems to me the price reduction is for a reason as they've also stopped free weekend deliveries. Everything I click on now while logged into Prime says Monday (yet says Saturday if logged out)

I got a delivery on the Sunday just past?

No mate, what are YOU on about.
https://ibb.co/gjCMV5

Not only is it NOT 2 days in the US, it's even same day in certain places. Like I said, they don't and would never use centralised distribution so no reason for it to take two days and the size of the territory thus has no bearing.

I think it literally just changed in the past day or two. Have a look now, everything I click on says Monday - even their own Kindles.

My membership runs until 15 February 2018. I just went on online chat and they said, "the refund depends on the prime benefits used. As you have used the prime benefits the refund is not eligible. Considering the situation, I will make a exception and issue refund of 20.00 GBP"

Basically means they're giving me £20 off my next renewal... but I'm getting the £20 now and will pay regular price on renewal.

I accepted. Still a good deal :smiley:

you are on of those that those care other people jobs and just want stuff for free all the time.. what a sad life you just have...

Same situation for me. Good stuff :smile:

My comment above makes no sense because the comment I was replying to doesn't seem to be included. Ho-hum!

Cant use a gift card to buy myself a subscription... BS

Great stuff! Found the course you mean already....What do you put in the "Please enter your place of study" when signing up to NUS Extra ?

Got it...would be explained here once the course is paid for https://www.writestorybooksforchildren.com/nus/

I had the chance to continue the free Student Prime trial at £39 per year. It's the same as regular Prime but you also get a 5% student discount on some product sold by Amazon. I didn't bother as I thought it would be a waste of money at £39, let alone £59!

That hasn't worked for me my 7.99 renews on the 7th I don't lose my benfits until then. Can only switch back to 7.99.or keep 79 annually confused

Just a heads up that might hep some people; I just signed up for Prime again a few days ago. Jumped on Amazon Chat, explained the situation and they refunded the £20. Might be worth five minutes of your time if you've recently renewed.

Say what you like about Amazon, but they're really good for things like this.

1. Visit: https://cards.nusextra.co.uk .

2. Enter your email address and click the ‘Get your card now’ button.

3. Type ‘Digital Sea Ltd’ as your ‘place of study’ (Digital Sea Ltd is the parent company of WriteStoryBooksForChildren.com).

4. Follow the rest of the steps in the application process.

5. When prompted for your Student ID, enter your ID which is: [whatever your student ID number happens to be]

Much better than £59 for Prime, you also get Spotify for a fiver a month, 10% off in Co-Op supermarkets etc...

Thanks for the clarity.

I've posted it as a deal, for a bit more clarity!

Do they discount the warehouse stuff during the Prime day / week?

been waiting for this. i was so close to paying full price but i held off and im glad i did.

can I download offline Amazon Prime video in more than one phone? last time I tried it removed the offline from the other phone. same question for prime music.

having been with prime for a year, I would take 'one day delivery' with a pinch of salt because amazon sometimes use other delivery companies that are not amazon. For me this is a bit annoying because having set my delivery preferences to 'leave it at the front door' (I work during the week) this information is not always fed onto the third party delivery companies.
That said, the prime exclusive shows are goodish, I have enjoyed preacher and american gods

Last year they discounted 20% off so would expect a similar level of discount, have to be a bit wary though as they may inflate the prices before the event.

Heat for price but I'll never pay for prime for as long as the free prime monthly Gmail trick works.

I live in the first world and get amazon prime now.

How do I benefit from this?

the lengths some people will go to save a few quid....:laughing: ......be asred with going through that nonsense every month....particularly when something is worth paying for, as Prime is

5 minutes or less to save £5/month or more. not too bad time per saving.

I am sane then.
I couldn't figure that out and it been like it for so long.
Useless Bunch of Forks!

I have been a monthly subscriber for about 18 months, I went onto live chat and the adviser cancelled my Prime and gave me a link to sign up for the £59 offer. Great deal!

looks like 2 days to me:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/prime/pipeline/signup?ie=UTF8&%2AVersion%2A=1&%2Aentries%2A=0&primeCampaignId=primeMobileSignupWhite&renderingType=mobile&showLandingPage=1

:smile:

so back to original question, which wasnt even to you lol, why would they change to 2 days in this country (to keep inline with the US )

no thanks lol

i share mine with a family member so it only costs what just over £3 a month each

Others have likely mentioned by now but don't forget you can get a heavily discounted prime membership via the NUS extra card. Only costs around £25-£30 to set up.

Hey .. I had only just recently signed up for monthly payment option, and kicked myself when I saw this... Tried but it wouldn't let me take the offer. I hit ' END MEMBERSHIP' and chose 'END NOW' and they cancelled it and it allowed me the £59 deal. They even refunded me £4 as I'm nearly half a month in. Result! May be worth trying if anyone on the yearly £79 deal also?

I get £25 a month Amazon vouchers just no idea what to spend it on yet

Just got an email earlier on saying something is Out For Delivery today.

Used chat to cancel my £7.99 subscription. I had only just automatically paid on the 28th, didn't get a refund, since I use the heck out of Amazon Music, Amazon Video & Prime Now.

Stop posting it mate, Amazon probably aren't reading this :smirk:

Had posted it four times when I commented earlier in the thread (think mods removed a few duplicates). Not sure why people act this way!

I've been a prime subscriber for 2 years but my current year runs out 4 days after this offer expires so I can't take advantage of the cheaper price. I'll probably not renew it at full price.

Am I right in thinking that any music I've downloaded through Amazon Prime will stop working when my subscription expires?

Got this deal last year.
Worth every penny...even at FULL PRICE.
HOT HOT HOT

Just used live chat to cancel my membership with immediate effect (otherwise would have renewed at £79 on 19th July) so I can take out new membership for the reduced price.

£4.9166 actually

You can simply use their chat function now to cancel your current subscription, tell them that you want to renew with the new current offer. Others, including myself, in similar situation did so, we're now on the new price. Yes. The songs that you downloaded under Prime will no longer work when your sub expires.

About the Amazon Prime extension clause for late deliveries, etc (usually an additional month to make up for the inconvenience)....you're not really "cheating the system" or getting a "freebie" - it's actually part of the Prime Terms & Conditions.

(This is Amazon US but also applies to the UK - weirdly on the UK T&Cs it just asks you to contact Customer Service if a delivery is late) http://www.thelostapron.com/2017/03/how-to-get-amazon-prime-free-month-extension.html

Under "Guaranteed Accelerated Delivery Fine Print":

"Note: If you received free shipping through Amazon Prime, you may be eligible for a free one-month extension when the promised delivery date isn't met. Prime Extensions are limited to one pre Free Trial and 12 for an Annual Membership. Free Amazon Student Memberships do not qualify for this extension."

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200182420
(at the bottom of the article): "If your parcel doesn't arrive by the estimated delivery date please contact customer service."

So true, maybe I'm cynical, but I've always thought Amazon do that deliberately to discourage sorting your search results.

Thanks. Our prime membership was due to end 14th July so i got them to cancel it completely now so i could sign up again at £59.

I've just done what you suggest and although it took two chat sessions, it worked in the end....... many thanks.

Remember to turn off automatic payments in account settings, if like me, a year goes by and you roughly know it's around renewal time but forget, then a lovely direct debit for £79 is taken from your bank a/c, Guess I'm a Prime member for another year then.

You know what rounding is, yes? Its common to round sums of money up to the nearest significant whole £. Even HMRC let you do it when completing a tax return.

I pay £7.99 / month. Done the online chat to get it for £59 and they told me to bolt basically. They said it's only for new customers. Fkrs.

My prime membership was due to automatically renew on the 9th July at the £79 fee. Just been on the Amazon online chat who managed to cancel my membership, which would then allow me to rejoin at the reduced £59 fee :smiley:

I was a monthly Prime member, and my membership was due to renew at the end of July. Saw this deal, and phoned Amazon to cancel. The chap I spoke to said he could stop the auto renew, but when I explained that I wanted to cancel to take advantage of this £59 offer he said he would cancel it immediately. He then stayed on the phone to make sure I signed back up for £59 without any problems - top bloke! Definitely worth it. :smile:

Of course, you could all be getting it for £39 with 6 months free via my NUS card deal...
Anyone can get an NUS card.

how many devices can you use the prime tv on at same time.

Just saw the Prime Photos storage thing. I never knew that, thank you.

Does that get a family one or just one person.And how long does it take to get what you need for this.

For those not having any luck on chat, cancel it yourself make sure you choose immediate cancellation, sign up again here https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/prime/pipeline/signup?ie=UTF8&primeCampaignId=primeMobileSignup_PrimePromo&renderingType=mobile&showLandingPage=1

I have had a free trial years ago.

I just rang them and I can't have £59 promotion.

Shame....

Get an NUS card and have it for £39 per year :wink:

Never mind, try getting Student Prime for £39:

Over 5000 degrees heat for £20 off a year's Amazon Prime subscription. The world's gone mad.

Hey, I was unable to find out how it works,can you clarify how do you apply for student discount on account with Amazon and are the benefits similar to Prime?
Thanks in advance

Annoying gifs are posted every time certain people post a deal then they clog up the top comments.

Amazon are good compared to eBay and ebuyer and most other e stores but 5000 points for their paid delivery service which used to be free and some crap TV thrown in? I hope their marketing people are paid well because they deserve it

Ring again there letting existing customers have it so i don't see why they would not let you.

Great, thanks, heat added

Does the Prime music app allow offline streaming and does prime give you access to Amazon Pantry?

You do all realise you can get it for £39 with 6 months free???

Sign up for an NUS card (anyone can do it) via an online course (the one on the deal will cost you £14 plus £12 for the NUS card) and then get Amazon Prime Student for £39, and get 6 months free into the bargain. They'll also refund any remaining full price (or £59) Prime you have outstanding. You can also use the NUS card to get Spotify for a fiver, 10% off in Co-Op etc...

Details below.
https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/get-student-status-14-via-groupon-nus-card-12-to-get-amazon-prime-free-for-6-months-then-39-a-year-spotify-499-etc-2730087?page=9

It is Prime, just cheaper and 6 months free. I don't think you can share it with family members, but that's about it.

Can someone tell me how I can get this deal if I already am a prime member please.

Every time a deal for Prime is posted, people like you crawl out to moan about paying for delivery and not much else...

I pay £60 a year for Prime, mainly for the TV - for me, it's worth the £60 alone. Bosch is superb, as is The Man In The High Castle and plenty of others. I also enjoy the music offering, unlimited online storage of my photos & Kindle prime reading. There are loads of other benefits I'm not that fussed about.....

Of course there's no point telling you all this though, as some people just like to have a whine

Had 12 days left on my membership, done live chat, cancelled immediately, rejoined on offer. All done in about 5 minutes! Cheers

They are offering this on accounts to, not sure if this is because mine is ending this month.

But under renewing it says:

Payment Option:
Annual (£59/year)
Best value

I renewed my membership the middle of of May (after the £59 membership that was on last year) they wouldn't offer it again so I had to renew at £79.......i got on to chat and they refunded me the £79 and said I could get it for £59 now so that's what I've done so in the end I got 1 and a half months free Prime and now I'm on the £59 offer.....win, win

Another vote for the live chat route. Cancelled my monthly sub, refunded it as I hadn't used the benefits this month and then sent me a link to the £59 offer. Took about 5 minutes and saved me 40 quid on the 7.99 a month I was paying. Cheers OP

Prime music is so limited that you would need to use another streaming service to fill the gaps : which makes it pointless. If you use all the things you mentioned and you're happy then you are getting your money's worth but some people just need free next day delivery, which used to be free

i cancelled my last renewal and waited -it finally happened but I have lost a lot of my prime music
Cheers mate

Spoke to CS on the Chat, they cancelled and refunded my monthly sub and let me sign up on the deal.

Spoke on Chat had a month left. They refunded me 10% and then let me sign up for £59 double win! :sunglasses:

I really don't understand the fascination with Amazon. I rarely find things cheaper than anywhere else. They do have some interesting items but they are mostly sold by resellers. Plus I don't like to give my money to a company that pays hardly any tax and rubbish wages to their staff. There search engine is also a joke

holy moly, seriously smoky hot in here

How??

I clicked end in August because that was my only option.

I also can't find live chat anywhere.

I was paying Monthly £7.99. Just called them and switched to annual on £59.00 I am a small business owner and I need this. Thanks OP.

Cancelled on chat, £59 offer then becomes available. Thanks OP

So is your spelling. No wonder you can't find anything with their search engine.

When the Prime day starts, does anyone know how to get the deals on the horizontal bar displaying newest first?

I've lost my bookmark for it. Not a fan of the full pages etc. I like to just scroll (click) sideways through what's on and what's coming up next.

I'm not a Prime member at the moment, but I've had numerous free Prime trials in the past and paid for a few month's-worth last Christmas, yet the £59 offer link via the homepage works fine for me ?

pity its for new customers only

Sighs.... :confused:

Well I think that's brilliant . Give yourself a huge pat on the back on the back and have one if the best 'Cup-a-soups' you can think of.

I just have 12 emails (all the same apart from the number corresponding to the month) if i want to buy something ill log into the corresponding month and activate trial (as it comes back after 1 year)

Its worth the 2min hassle.

I only want the delivery as all the other stuff is useless to me. Not paying for prime for the little amount i order as stuff is not always the cheapest.

The delivery is the least useful for me, in fact I always select the slower option and accrue credit to rent the latest films. Having same day when needed however is extremely useful.

Some of the TV is superb (Bosch, Goliath, High Castle etc),they also have a good selection for kids. The music service is good enough for those of us who listen to mostly older music.

All in all I think it's a good deal even at 7.99 a month but at this price it's a great deal!

Was interested but a lot of the good TV programmes are still to pay extra for like Game Of Thrones and Better Call Saul. I thought these would be free to watch on Prime. Pity

Can anyone tell me if using amazon prime trial includes you for prime day? thanks

Yes, it does. You have access to everything 'Prime'

Hahaha get a life. I've never been on a place like this with so many spelling Nazis

Re the "debit £79 and refund £20" Amazon promised. I was led to believe it would be to the original payment card - they've now told me it will be an Amazon Gift Card. Don't have a copy of the original conversation so couldn't really argue.

Bit of a pain as there's a few of us all paying together. It still hasn't been sorted - I've been told to wait till the 9th.
