Amazon Questions

Yes you can do a search for a item and there is a place to check for PRIME eligible.
There is a way to get prime about half off $49 a year instead of $99 a year.
Just need to do a few steps to get it. The way I did it was sign up for a student prime account.
You need a .edu email but you can easily get of from any community college.
Yes you have to apply for admission but almost all community colleges accept everyone.
As soon as your accepted you get a email address even if you dont enroll in classes.
Just keep the email active or linked to another email, I send some ads and forward a few things there
every so often.
We use Prime a lot and just started using the prime video
Also with some colleges are enrolled in microsoft's education deal
so all students can get free office download(mac or PC)
also good idea to have a .edu email a lot of places offer student discounts
just need email to send to or order from, ex:best buy

The question if it's worth or not to pay $99 a year for free shipping is very much in connection with the answer to the other question : How much do you use or intend to use Amazon. If over 10 or 15 times per year, you'll get your money's worth right there. I use my son's account who is a student without a problem, so that's my escape. But just today I tried to order some H&S shampoo and saw some thing called " Pantry". Even with Prime didn't let me get it with free shipping without being like 5 items ordered. Never seen it before. Again, with the shipping rates being as they are, if you order a lot from Amazon, which I don't see why not ...it is worth it, IMO. Hope this helps.

Not only do you get free 2-day shipping, but Prime Video really makes it worth it. Bosch, especially.

Oh, and one more thing. I buy quite a bit of stuff on Amazon and I can't remember the last time something wasn't listed as Prime Eligible. They have a ton of stuff listed like that.

Thanks a lot, guys.

Just using Amazon Prime for the Video service and Amazon music is worth $120 a year for me. Then add in free 2-day shipping... it's pretty much a no-brainer

You don't have to pay for Prime at all

Do free trial, then when it runs out do it again under new email address/account

Repeat

Prime is not worth it. Do the prime trial and cancel the auto renewal

It's well worth it in my opinion since we buy everything from Amazon. The Prime Video is also a plus.

Dont they have software to prevent this from happening? You would think after using the same mailing address they would force you to pay for it.

How do you keep getting new adresses? Thats money still out

I just make a new email address and a new amazon acct every time I expect to do some heavy shopping at Amazon. Yes, I know I'm a cheap fuk. The funny thing is... once you cancel... you now can get up to 2 months FREE.

I'm not paying $100 a year.

You guys are probably saying... how does Amazon allow it? Well maybe Russian Rocket can check in and verify this? Or some computer expert. You can't use the IP address from your home network 24/7. Amazon records this. You have to sign up using your Mobile device... I use Sprint... and Sprint apparently somehow changes the IP where I'm located ever so often. That's why Amazon allows this. Works like a charm.

I do this as well except I just sign up from home.

Been doing it for years, no issues.

Highly recommended.

You can make as many email addresses as you want for free.

Capitols44 · 06-12-17, 06:35 PM

i meant mail addresses

stevek173 · 06-12-17, 07:47 PM

Oh they don't detect that, or name or anything else. Just need a new email address each time and you're good to go.

RockBottom · 06-12-17, 08:08 PM

The third-party sellers who use amazon as a storefront do not honor the free/reduced shipping if they have to ship it themselves. It tells you that before checking out. Sometimes the item is cheaper even with paying the shipping, so do your homework.

I had an issue with my IP from home. I made a new email address and also new amazon account... and also a new CC that was never used at Amazon. Amazon didn't allow me the Free Prime Trial.

I waited a few days and used my Mobile Data on my cell. New email address... new amazon account... and it worked. Once you click free trial on your phone... you can log on from home... once everything is set.

I wasn't as lucky as you setting up from home anymore. Has to be done on my Mobile Data from my phone.

Be careful. If it's a third party seller you don't really know the source of the item. I'm a third-party seller on another site and believe me, you don't want to know where I get the stuff I'm selling.

Interesting.

I'll keep that in mind while continuing to rip Amazon off.

Thank you.
