    IMO, this still works out at good value if you make use of the streaming service but if you don't, £79 covers an awful lot of next day deliveries if you pay it yourself.

    And the best bit is that now if you don't need it next day and you've got prime you can select a slower option and get a £1 credit for prime video, kindle books and digital music.

    Which means if you use Amazon a lot but don't always need next day delivery you could potentially make most of the prime fee back in credits for your books/music, something I'm starting to do :)

    Thanks for that - very useful to know. My Amazon usage sounds similar to yours, so had discounted Prime as an unnecessary expense, though money off Kindle books and music would give it greater value to me.

    Except Prime isn't (any longer)a next day service..

    So while I am using Prime on trial, why did my £10 order not get a £1 discount when I selected standard delivery ?

    If you're on the trial period, I guess that means you haven't paid for it yet?

    If yes, I'll leave you to work out why you didn't get the Kindle discount. ;)
