    Very tempted!

    What are the advantages? And with Amazon Music, is it a package that is compatible with Amazon Alexa (I believe some Amazon Music deals aren't!)?

    Is there plenty of choice on Amazon video? I looked earlier, and some had a prime marker, and some didn't. Do I take it that anything without a Prime marker would be an additional cost (for example, TV Series of Death in Paradise).

    I personally don't find Amazon video selection of shows/movies any good but down to personal preference, I think.

    Don't forget about Prime Reading too. If you enjoy reading there are lots of books and magazines to read.
  • I find prime video pretty good lots of free movies/tv series and exclusive content. plus some others from as little as 99p, add in the free delivery on many things and you soon get your money back.

    Hi All,

    Just a tip for renewing Amazon Prime:
    (it worked for me anyway!)

    My Amazon Prime subscription expired on 2nd July 2019 so I decided not to auto renew at £79.

    I bided my time and today I checked Amazon and, lo and behold, I was offered Prime for £59.

    So I renewed for £20 less. :money:

    Has anyone else had this?

    (by the way I do generally get my money's worth out of Prime).

    Prime is currently on offer at £59 so I am afraid you are not special :p

    Although it does state
    Available to new customers and those switching from monthly to annual plans only.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    That's interesting because I've never been a pay monthly Amazon Prime customer.

    Perhaps I'm a 'new' one though after less than 2 weeks.
