The fact that Amazon.com is starting to require Prime for discounts in physical grocery stores is absolutely news. I linked to the primary source, a press release, because it’s more informative to read that than one of the dozens of news articles written about it today.
Some people care about Amazon.com or how tech-centric businesses are changing other industries. It’s fine if you don’t, but what you consider news is not the HN readership’s universal definition of news.

Let me know when the discounts are meaningful and apply to most products; then it might be news. For now, it's just a marketing gimmick or an experiment, or both, and as such, no more newsworthy than the average press release about any other marketing gimmick or experiment.
