Pay an extra 3 bucks a month to avoid ads, what BS.

Like others on here, I did not renew my subscription for Prime. You could see where they were heading and the cost/benefit ratio is not there.

My wife shops on Amazon way more than me and she has never had Prime. Not having 2 day shipping never (ad in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1; Here at Target we >>Skip) bothered her and she never watched shows on there other than what you already have to rent to watch even with Prime.

I encourage others to drop it, give it a spin, see how you (ad in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1; Don't let psoriasis get >>Skip) enjoy a little extra jingle in your pockets.

I have prime membership for the 5% off prime card. It pays for membership easily as I shop there a lot. Also, they typically do a 6% discount if I select the slower shipping. Idk.

If it's the prime credit card, you get the 5% back regardless of your prime status. Also, shipping is free for non-prime Members, it's just 4-5 days instead of 0-2

It's not the credit card, it's the less useful prime card that I believe needs prime membership
