I needed something shipped fast back in August and signed up for the free trial then. I was hopeful I would be able to sign up again but it won’t allow me to sign up again without paying for it.

Still can’t find anything that states you get a month for free. It’s not letting me have that option. HELP!!!!

I want to sign up for this offer too, but like the last person, I do not see where it says one-month trial free. Am I seeing a different page than everyone else? I did follow the link on the website. Suggestions?

Hi! Just a tip for everyone…I was having trouble finding the “do not upgrade” on my account. Then I figured out that you have to go to “Manage Prime Membership” under the more order actions area. From there you should be able to find the do not upgrade button.

Hi,
I can’t find any place that says you get a month free. I went as far as putting in my card info and only stopped before it asked you to confirm the $79 dollar charge. Any suggestions? I am following the link right off your page.

FYI…i joined on a similar promotion last year and when I cancelled they tried to back-charge me for the two-day shipping I had used during my free trial month. Read the fine print.

Here’s the email I got when I complained…

Hello from Amazon.com.

You can cancel your Amazon Prime membership and receive a refund of the membership fee if you or your registered guests have not made any eligible purchases.

Your order history indicates that you have used your Amazon Prime benefits prior to requesting cancellation.

Because of the circumstances, I made an exception to our policy and requested a full refund in the amount of $79.00 for the Amazon Prime membership. Other members you may have shared your benefits with
will be notified of the cancellation.

You are welcome to join Amazon Prime again at any time. Simply click “Join Amazon Prime today” at the top of most item detail pages.

Thank you for joining Amazon Prime and shopping at Amazon.com.

*************
Money Saving Mom here: I personally have gotten this free trial before and canceled without any charges. They say right on their homepage that there is no obligation and that you will not be charged if you cancel before the trial is up. If you do what I say above in checking the “Do Not Upgrade” box, you should be safe.

I have been an Amazon Prime member for a year and a half now, and it’s totally worth the $79 to me.

We actually do have the prime membership all year and love it. It isn’t “all” orders just the ones that qualify (with the prime symbol next to them). Happy Shopping!

I signed up about 1 week ago. have already bought 3 gifts, all less than $25, all mailed to different addresses free!

just make sure you to cancel the membership before your month is up, or you will be hit with $79 membership fee. (I already marked my calendar in 2 places so I don’t forget to cancel).

Is the free shipping only on items sold directly from Amazon or from other sellers as well?

Thanks for the heads up! I have a ton of books to order with my Swagbucks. This makes it super sweet!
