Amazon Prime

So after our discussions about it... I noticed my Christmas presents (still in their amazon boxes) have black Amazon prime tape on it.  Does this mean H signed up for it?!  Or maybe just the trial (I think it's 2 weeks)?  Should I hack into his account to check?  I've been thinking about getting it, but if he already did - I need to know before I buy more haha.

it might be the free trial. but I would talk to him about it because unless you go cancel the free trial it automatically bills your account.

Haha I asked him last night and he had no idea what I was talking about.

Check his account. When I signed up for it, I didn't even realize that I had clicked on it. He may have done the same.

Ok, I hacked in (it's helpful H uses 1 of 2 passwords EVERYTIME).  Not a prime member.  But I might sign up for myself... I'm buying more and more on there.

I've gotten the tape before as an advertisement- glad you checked...and just do it!!

I probably will before my next shipment.  I'm lending towards getting a kindle next (the buttons on my nook are dying), so it'll be good all around.

Something I ordered for DH came like that, but if its a "Prime" item that qualifies for free 2 day shipping, it will be shipped like that even if you arent a Prime Member.

The only think holding me back is getting ebooks at the library... they have more epub formats than Kindle formats. But I envy the paperlight.

Hey havent been here for a while but popping in to say hi.

Amazon Prime is so worth it. If you still have access to your college e-mail account you can get 6 months Amazon Prime free. Its meant to be for students but they only send an e-mail verification to your address. Also, once you get prime you can share the account with other members of your family. So H has the prime and he shared it with me so I get all the benefits too with no extra costs.

And btw I LOVE my kindle paperwhite! Amzon Prime members also get free book rentals at the Amazon Lending Library. Pretty neat.

Amazon prime is the best I was going to say what @Olalala157 said, you can link a few Amazon accounts to it to get the free prime shipping, but that doesn't work for the prime instant video, only the primary prime subscriber can stream those for free.

All of the stuff I've ordered with "Super Saver" shipping has come with Prime tape.
