Amazon Prime

[tinx]

I think my Prime membership is one of the best things I have ever done. THe delivery is awesome and very useful for someone who is badly organised for presents etc and someone who just has to have things ASAP.

The Video is great for Series, the movies are pretty crap but the AMazon Originals stuff is excellent.

THe Music I don't really use as I also pay for spotify which is also worth every penny.

The other bits and pieces are just extra bits I dip into occasionally.

For the price I think its excellent value.

If you have a 4K smart TV there is a a load of the Amazon stuff that is broadcast in 4K too which is great.

Quick Delivery and Mr.Robot...

Sold

Enjoyed the first season of Mr Robot, like a lot of US mini series they went a bit OTT towards the end and I haven't been motivated to watch the second series. Haven't seen quick delivery is this a US romcom?

Preacher is one I can recommend

Big fan of Prime. Delivery is a big plus and money saver obviously, the video is getting better, big fan of Mr Robot and The Americans, movies are limited with the better ones being 'rent or buy'.

I use the music loads and can download lots on to my fire tablet to listen offline (iPod ditched).

Something not yet mentioned - Amazon Underground, my kids have fire tablets and love all the free games.

Simple question, is it worth it?
I've got an Amazon Dot so the unlimited music would be nice.
Next day delivery would save me a few quid.
Jezza and gang return soon.
But are the TV & Movies any better than Sky, which I already have?

Simple answer: Yes.

We have prime, I lost my camera charger cable so I ordered a new one at 22.30 in the evening and it was delivered through my letter box about 12 hours later.

Music is good as you can download almost anything or just stream music at home.

Don't use the TV/Film stuff very much as that is the only real let down

Something not mentioned - Instead of next day delivery you can choose to go with a no rush option which delivers in 3-5 days, and if you do that, you get £1 credit to spend on their digital offerings (music, apps, digital video, kindle books) - a bonus if you like to own your music instead of streaming it (I've probably come close to getting at least one year of prime back in credit this way and I've only just paid for my second year). Sometimes this is upped to £3 during special offer days (such as black friday). On the last amazon prime day it was £3 in the amazon pantry (a grocery shopping area of amazon for which you have to pay £2.99 delivery for the first box).

If you're a student you get it for £39 with an academic email address (.ac.uk)

I've never worked out how to spend that bonus... (haven't looked hard enough)

It is automatically applied when you buy something. There is a deadline by which you have to use it. For an order that was dispatched today, my credit has to be spent by 31 January, so it's a decent amount of time.

No of course not. That's a bit much to ask since it's a fraction of the price of sky, and has the other benefits too.

Got mine for £50 last Black Friday. Cancelled autorenew in the hope they do the same this year as well.

 

[blue'n'white]

I've had Prime for a few years now and have made my money back on it. Cancelled Spotify as Amazon Music is pretty good too
