Amazon, for one day only this Firday, the price of its $99 annual Prime membership program to $67 on Friday for new members to celebrate its original series “Transparent” winning 5 Emmys at the 67th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.
The deal is only available this Friday, September 25, from 12:00am ET to 11:59pm PT. The $67 (normally $99) covers the first year of Amazon Prime.
Amazon Inc. has been adding offers and services to attract subscribers to its Prime club. Most recently, Amazon gave members free online access to the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post while also expanding same-day delivery.
Amazon Prime benefits include:
• Free Two-Day shipping with Amazon Prime
• Watch thousands of movies and TV shows for free
• Unlimited, ad-free access to over a million songs and hundreds of custom-built playlists
• Free unlimited photo storage
• Get Early Access to Amazon Lightning Deals and MyHabit.com
• Over 800,000 free ebooks

MacDailyNews Take: For the delivery alone, Prime is a good deal even at $99. If you use Amazon, this Friday’s your chance.

New members only? Pffftttt…….
If you have more than one person in your household, you might be able to gift a subscription and get the special rate. Gift subscriptions can be scheduled to start on a specific date up to a year in advance, as I recall. I did this when the Prime cost went from $79 to $99 a while back.
Yea, this Friday is the day Amazon tells all their current customers (like me) that they don’t care about them.
New member just means new email address. You don’t have two email addresses? Pfft
Not to mention new credit card number. Pfft. Not worth it.
$67 is a lot of money for one day. I get a whole year for $99.
😉
With many purchases over $25 having free shipping (albeit slower), it takes a lot of sub $25 purchases to make up $99 (or even $79).
In Canada the only extra perk we get with prime other than the free shipping is unlimited cloud photo storage. Big whoop!
We also don’t get the $67 deal because Amazon really doesn’t care about us Canadians.
Agreed! Most of the stuff available on the USA Amazon site isn’t even available in Canada. And they want $99 bucks for a lame membership. Target thought we were just a bunch of dumb smucks. They got their ass kicked and went home crying to their mama. Amazon and others should take note of this great, intelligent, and affluent market that’s right on their doorsteps.
it has been free shipping at 35 dollars for quite some time now.. but we get your point..
“Amazon Inc. has been adding offers and services to attract subscribers to its Prime club”
Amazon is becoming more and more like AOL back when they charged a premium price because they thought all their “extra services” were worth charging more for.
$67 is a lot of money for a membership to something for only a day.
Apparently some dummies didn’t get it. 🙂
Of course this has nothing to do with the end of the calendar quarter in one week. Amazon would never pull a stunt to goose their earnings report…prime day sale last June…cough…cough.
You get more then just delivery of course, you get their streaming service too.. if you already have Netflix, then this adds to the library of viewing options, because of course, each has their exclusives..
Still you have to order things pretty routinely from there to even get $67 worth of service.. Course probably just several items at 2 day delivery you’d get your money’s worth, and then factor in the $8 a month you might not be spending on Netflix if you suspend that for the year..
Not in Canada. I’m afraid that here the hosers get hosed…….again. Definitely not a good way to treat a Five Eyes ally.
I have a student discount with Amazon Prime. We get %50 off the annual membership.
In other news, Apple offers all its customers free fast shipping every day as usual.
Zero money for this company which extremely abuses their workers.
Just for feed his Napoleon complex of the owner.
Just because he’s short, and ambitious, and sets high standards for his workers, you demote his esteem. Yet he remains an entrepreneur that has done more good than harm, in a capitalist playground that has seen, usually, the reverse.
