Between that and the introduction of ads on Prime Video, I’m tempted to cancel as well. I probably won’t yet, but it’s no longer a no-brainer to renew.

- ostensible 3y agoEh, ads can be blocked. 5% cash back on travel alone on the other hand makes it continue to be a no-brainer. (And Whole Foods if you shop there). Everyone understands that you still pay for free shipping. That’s not the point though. If you have prime your stuff ships first. If you don’t — you pay for shipping and/or have to wait longer. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes not. And then there is a massive list of other affiliate services prime members can use - each one another reason to use prime, if you happen to use those services. I’m actually surprised how cheap prime is considering its value.
- nytesky 3y agoIs there a ceiling on cash back? Some spends $20000 travel gets $1k back vs $400 on traditional cash rewards. That would be competitive but most high rewards have caps?
- genocidicbunny 3y agoSomehow, I've managed to get one of my systems to consistently skip those ads. The screen will go black for a moment like it's trying to load or play an ad but then the video will just resume. This happens with both the freevee stuff, and the regular prime video that now has ads. Pretty sure it's some rule I added to ublock but I haven't spent the time figuring out which exactly. But seems it's still possible to block those ads.
