All receivables lifeguard to post this tip slickdeals. As many already know, Amazon today raised the price of its Amazon Prime service from $79 to $99 per year. He says the $20 increase is too much for some and some is more than just the price increase, even with the price hike. Amazon Prime makes it very attractive for those who order from Amazon, that it offers users discounted or free delivery service, as well as content options such as free movies and TV shows at an annual subscription price. If you have an Amazon Kindle tablet, that also makes a lot of sense. The new price will take effect next month and you will need to renew at the higher price when your renewal date comes.
But for those who think the price hike might be too much for their budget, Lifehacker posted this tip from Slickdeals and tells you how to save $20 for another year. There’s no guarantee that Amazon will allow this to remain an option, so you might want to act fast.
- Disable auto-renewal In your Prime account
- PBuy a gift subscription for $79
- Set it to be delivered to your own email address the day after your current Prime year ends.
I haven’t tried this personally, but nice people lifeguard and slickdeals I swear it works. After completing the steps, you will receive an email the day after your auto-renewal is expected to occur, giving you a credit for one year of service at the rate of $79. If you have a Prime subscription that will expire or renew before April 18, you may want to try it.
