Prime Benefit: 1-Year of GrubHub+ FREE

Amazon’s Prime benefits continue to evolve with the times. Such as this benefit: as a Prime member you get a 1-Year GrubHub+ membership for FREE. This Grubhub+ membership gets you unlimited $0 deliveries on eligible offers.

The offer continues as long as the Prime membership is active. Meaning if you start a 30-day Prime trial and then cancel it, you don’t get to keep the 1-year GrubHub+ free membership.

NOTE that the GrubHub+ membership is auto-renewing, so if you don’t cancel it before the FREE 12 months are over, you will be charged an on-going monthly fee (currently $10/month), until or unless you manually cancel it.

I haven’t done this, so I can’t tell you what to expect…

Prime Dayz 2022 Day 1 is HERE!

The day is here! Prime Dayz 2022 is here! Day 1 has officially just began at 12:01am pacific time at the Amazon website. Most of the offers are for Prime members only. They are marked with the “Prime Day Deal” in the multiple-product page listings, and on the individual product page it tells you you must needs be a Prime member to buy!

IF you are a Prime member, dive in!

If you are not a Prime member, and you want to participate in the festivities, you can start a 30-Day FREE TRIAL. If you previously had free trials, the Amazon computers decide that your account is eligible again and tell you so.

If the Amazon AI bots determine you are not eligible for the 30-day free trial but you want to buy some of the offers, you can start a month-to-month paying Prime membership and cancel it after the 1st month (or whenever you no longer need it). Or prepay the 1-year membership at $139.

Either way, if you are going to make a Prime Day purchase until Wednesday night, make sure you fill up the Stampcard promotion to score a $10 Amazon credit.

Lots of laptops and computers and kitchen ware and Amazon’s own devices and Amazon’s own brands are participating!

More posts as I digest the offerings!

Earn $10 Amazon Credit with Prime Activities

If you are planning to make an Amazon Prime purchase by Wednesday 7/13/22 at 11:59pm pacific time, AND you are a Prime member (paying or free trial), you can easily earn a $10 Amazon store credit thanks to this StampCard promotion.

The four things you have to do to earn the $10 store credit are:

  • make a Prime-eligible purchase
  • stream a Prime video
  • listen to a song with Prime Music
  • borrow an ebook on Prime Reading

The only thing that costs money is the money you pay to make the Prime-eligible purcahse. The other three items are Prime Benefits. They are basically adding them to the Stampcard to encourage more Prime members to try out the other Prime benefits.

The aforelinked page has a progress bar showing you which ones of the steps you have completed.

PS: if you are not a Prime member, first start a 30-day free trial and then take the steps to earn the $10 store credit…

Prime Dayz are Coming – start a FREE Trial

The big dayz are almost upon us! Prime Dayz officially start on Tuesday July 12 in 2022 at 12:01am pacific time and run for 48 hours until Wednesday July 13 at 11:59pm pacific time!

If you are already a Prime member, you can participate in all the offers.

If you are not a Prime member, you can still participate in the offers by starting a FREE 30-DAY TRIAL and be eligible for all the offers and Prime benefits during your free trial.

If you previously had a 30-day free trial, the Amazon AI computer system will decide if you are eligible for another one for your account. It will tell you so.

Alternately if you don’t want to prepay for a 1-year subscription, and you are not eligible for a 30-day free trial, you can start a month-to-month subscription and keep it only for as long as you need it, eg one month so you can participate in the Prime Deals or to watch the new half-a-billion Lord of the Rings TV show…

UPDATE: if you are a student at an eligible institution, you can get a FREE 6-month Prime Student trial, and then you can optionally stay one for a 50% off a prepaid 1-year Prime membership ($69 per year). You are also eligible for three Prime Student benefits, Showtime $1/month for a year, Amazon Music Unlimited for $1/month, and 6-months of free Linked In Premium…

Prime Days 2022 revealed: July 12-13

Amazon has officially revealed that Prime Days 2022 will be July 12 and 13 in 2022, which, according to my calendar are Tuesday and Wednesday. This event is open to Prime members only.

If you are not a Prime member, you can still participate by starting a strategic 30-day Prime free trial that includes July 12-13 time window. Amazon is well aware of this and encouraging it because they know that a sizable percentage of those who start 30-day free trials will stick around as paying Prime members for eternity 🙂

Alternately, if you are not eligible for the free trial, but you also don’t want to commit to the $140 per year plan [back in our time kids, Prime was $100 per year but we had to climb up the internet hill backwards at dialup speeds to get it!], you can start a $15/month month-to-month membership and keep it only for the time window that covers the July 12-13 Prime Dayz.

Remember, a Prime membership also includes access to Amazon’s videos and movies, so you can factor your TV/movies streaming/watching schedule into the decision when to start your 30-day free trial!

A Prime membership includes many other benefits as well. To give you a general sense, we have a Prime Benefits round-up post at the main blog, but note that it was last updated in late April 2018, that’s *GASP* four years ago 🙂 Time sure does fly!

BREAKING: Amazon Prime annual fees increasing to $139 per year [monthly $15/month]

Maintaining the globetrotting yacht and tearing down bridges is an expensive thing, so Amazon is raising Prime prices from $119 to $139 as follows:

+ existing Prime members: March 25 (so if your annual renewal is before March 25, you pay $119; after March 25, you pay $139)
+ the previous bump in Prime pricing was in 2018, it went from the psychologically friendly price of $99 to $119

+ new Prime members: February 18 or later. It’s Amazon’s Valentine’s gift to y’all 😉

+ monthly Prime fee goes from $13/month to $15/month

So if you are not a Prime member, and are considering to lock in the $119 price for a year, start a FREE 30-day trial now, OR strategically use the monthly Prime when you need it (eg when the LOTR show comes out in Fall 2022 or when you shop a lot)…

Prime Benefit: FREE 2-Day shipping at Woot until 12/20/20 PM

Prime Day Update: Moving to October 2020, Still Subject to COVID change

One of the main Prime Benefits is the annual Prime Day which typically happens in the early summer. This year, because of COVID-19 seasons, it had been moved to September, and now according to new updates via Techmeme, the sale-a-bration is tentatively moved to October 2020. But still subject to change…

Considering that Black Friday is November 2020 and singles day is mid-November, the end of October is mayhaps the latest Amazon can do it without colliding with pre-existing sale-a-brations. On the other hand, this year could be Amazon’s embrace of Singles Day which could also be Prime Day. This paragraph being speculation of course…

Prime Day 2018 Festivities begin at 3pm ET today

Another year has gone bye and another Prime Day is almost upon us! The official Festivities for Prime Day 2018 begin at 3PM eastern on Monday 7/16/18 at Amazon. Amazon has published a handy Prime Day guide, and as usual, this morphs into a Prime Week of festivities (as opposed to just a single day), with some offers already going live, including a variety of credit cashback promotions for those paying with a Prime credit card (Chase Visa or Amazon store card). These include 20% back on the GoPRO HERO (2018) action camera.

Other early offers include the Echo Show creature for $139 (up to six per customer at the sale price), and some new product launches that Prime members get first dibs on.

Keep an eye also on the good old Gold Box if you prefer that display format of deals.

Only Prime members can participate in these festivities, however, if you are not a Prime member and want to participate, you can start a FREE Prime Trial and enjoy these festivities along with the other Prime Benefits for 30 days.

Woot now offers FREE 2-Day Prime shipping on select items [Prime members]

The Amazonification of Woot continues with another new experimental feature. As of a few weeks ago, Prime members would get free shipping at Woot, but now, the new experiment gets Prime members free 2-day Prime-like shipping on select Woot items. This is probably for items shipping from Amazon warehouses, so it makes sense they’d be able to do this for paying Prime members.

Here’s an example of a listing, the Klipsch speakers. Here’s an annotated screenshot of the relevant part of the pages for products eligible for this new Woot-Prime benefit:

Prime Only: 10% back on select LG 2017 4K Ultra HD Smart OLED TVs

While checking the upcoming Gold Box schedule, this offer was featured at the bottom of the page. If you are a Prime member and you pay for these with a Prime Credit Card (Chase VISA or Amazon Store card) you will earn 10% as a statement credit instead of the usual 5%. “These” are the LG Electronics 4K Ultra HD Smart OLED TV (2017 Model) for $1700 at 55-inch and $2600 at 65-inch. Unlike the quarterly credit cards, there is no limit on the cashback you can earn with the Prime offers. Only these two main TV-only options are eligible, not the various bundles you see on the product page (neither TV with BluRay nor the TV with soundbar).
