our 2nd year with Amazon Prime is coming to end in a couple weeks and looks like we will not be renewing. No one in the family has ever used books/music they offer. I have watched a few things on Prime streaming but the rest of my family has never used it, not once. Recently started doing some shopping at Whole Foods and got a 10% discount on sale items but that was worth a couple dollars because don't shop there often enough or for enough volume. As far as the feature presentation, the shipping, have ordered around a dozen times in 2 years so not worth it for us. Dog food, whey protein etc I can have Walmart ship to me for free, no membership fees and most times priced same as Amazon or cheaper. So the $120 just doesn't make sense for us. I'm thinking for alot of people it makes sense though.
If it was 10% off everything than I have cost myself several hundred dollars. The old system was better. In South Jersey my Whole Foods card got me rebates for money I spent in store. I buy mostly prepared foods from the salad bar, hot bar and bistro meals. They used to offered discounts on the hot and cold bars for card members. I should use my Amazon Prime credit card where I get 5% back but I hate having to keep a high checking account balance to pay if off each month. I rather pay cash and not have bills.
I have a prime membership and decided to watch the nfl game last night on my firestick. They have an interesting feature that if you press up on the remote during the game they have "x ray stats" that give you up to date stats for each team and listing of plays. Kind of the same thing that yahoo sports app does on my phone. At the very bottom of the page it lists pregame odds, sides and totals. Makes me wonder if down the road they get into sportsbetting and in game betting. Its all right there now, all they would have to do is add in game odds and you could bet right from the remote. Time will tell.
