Amazon Ending Prime 20% Off Games Discount
- joebubna 8y agoNot surprised considering Best Buy just recently decided to discontinue their Gamers' Club Unlocked program which offered a 20% discount on games: http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Gamers-Club/Gamers-Club-Unlocked-being-discontinued/m-p/1138597#M32725 http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Gamers-Club/Gamers-Club-Unlocke...
- meesterdude 8y agoWill amazon be lowering their price for prime because they are offering less for the membership?
- tofof 8y agoTo the contrary, they also intend to charge an additional $108 per year just to keep an ad-free Twitch.tv experience (which ceases being a Prime benefit on September 14).
- tofof 8y agoNot only that, but Twitch Prime's no-advertising benefit is disappearing. New prime subscriptions or renewals after September 14 will no longer have that feature. Instead, it will cost $108/year to purchase separately. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17805691 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17805691
- Ancalagon 8y agoYet another reason im glad I cancelled my prime membership
- MrMember 8y agoYep, I let mine expire this summer. It would have been 50% more expensive than when I first signed up for it. If I want two day shipping I'll pay for it and it will be significantly cheaper than a Prime subscription.
- Ancalagon 8y agoI mainly cancelled mine due to the worsening quality of everything I tried to buy from amazon. Its gotten so bad I pretty much look away from Amazon when online shopping whenever possible. Just as an example, I purchased a supposedly new pair of $300 headphones. They arrived in the mail, obviously opened previously, and covered in q sticky residue (dont know what it was). That was a prime featured item.
