Welcome to the other side. I haven't renewed Amazon Prime in quite a while. It's not that bad because you can still shop on Amazon with free shipping as long as you hit the minimum amount. I may keep things in the cart and sometimes it becomes a reminder for me to grab those items at the local shop. The only time I get an 'itch' to get back on Prime when I'm at Whole Foods. Other than that, goodbye free shipping!



My wife pointed out that the shipping is not, in fact, free, because we pay $100 (or whatever it is now) for Prime.


Do you know if you can still use Subscribe and Save without a Prime membership? We use that service quite a bit.


You can (I do)


Interesting. I'm wondering if I'd be able to drop the Amazon Prime then as well. Outside of Subscribe and Save, all of our purchases could be bunched until we hit the minimum order $. We hardly ever watch Amazon Prime video, we used to use the Photo storage but now pay for Google Photos (or Google One... whatever they call it now). Not sure what other benefits it provides?


I’d be the wrong person to ask because I didn’t find enough value in it after the trial expired :)


I am thinking about canceling as well but I am a nomad and need to be able to have things shipped to Amazon lockers. Do they still allow that without a Prime subscription?


They do. I use pickup lockers without Prime all the time.
