PSA: Today only Amazon Prime for $72

[ajm0711]

Got an email that stated through 11:59pm Pacific time you can get Amazon Prime for the first year for only $72.

It's only good for new members, though.

If anyone is on The fence it's totally worth it. I LOVE having Prime. Isn't this offer only like $8 off?

Love Prime!!

I thought it was normally $99? Anyway, best purchase ever if you have young kids. We use it for diapers, wipes, fruit pouches, toilet paper, paper towels, and now some kiddie videos too.

Maybe? I thought it was $80. Maybe it was when we first joined. I shod check on that because obviously I have no idea. We use prime for cat food and never run out. It's on auto order which is so nice. I can see it being a lifesaver for things like diapers and wipes too.

@blackpearl08 mine is too. We order the most random stuff from there. His most recent purchase was some weird cap things for the battery on his car he was so excited about them. He gets things for his smoker and computer parts quite a bit too. Just the free two day shipping alone makes the membership fee totally worth it.

Poppy it was $79 when I joined two years ago but it went up to $99 last year.

Oh, and I love Prime. Just the free two day shipping makes it worth the money.

Isn't amazon Prime and Amazon Mom the same thing? I could totally be off...

I agree. If anyone is on the fence about getting Amazon Prime, DO IT. Amazon prime is one of the best decisions we ever made. I love the free two day shipping, reduced one day shipping, and free returns. Plus Amazon has the best customer service ever. I can't tell you how many things they have replaced or refunded after they broke or were defective in some way. Definitely worth it!

I believe you have to be a Prime member to get the benefits of Amazon Mom. So I guess they are the same thing, but you just need to sign up for the Amazon Mom membership too. I may be a little off though.

Someone correct me, but I believe you get the "better" discount if you have Prime AND mom.

This is true. It's definitely worth it!! Half the time the shipping is even faster than the stated 2-days.

This is true! Your registry discount is higher also if you have Amazon MOM. We had prime for free when we were in college and we somehow still had it for a year after we graduated. We get everything from amazon so it is a no brainer to have it. I am pretty sure they have deals on Prime memberships all the time.

My Amazon mom subscription came with a free trial of Prime (3 mos, I believe), but then I had to pay to keep the Prime benefits after the trial ended.

[mayflowers]

Yes you need Amazon prime to get Amazon mom (if you sign up for mom you get prime but not vice versa) but it's $99 for prime or both. I did the math and on diapers alone the savings pays for it not even including the free shipping. And we buy way more than that on there. Also the registry discount is 15% if you have mom (only on items sold by Amazon).

Prime is AWESOME! I love it for the holiday season especially.

I love Prime, I have it for students so I have access to tons and tons of textbooks too. Just a PSA for any other mamas in school.
