Prime members...were inclined to spend more based on the "faintly irrational human impulse to maximize the benefits of a membership club one has already joined."
For some of us, the choice was completely rational. After noticing that at least a half-dozen times per year we were upgrading to 2 day shipping (which is about $15 each time), it made sense to get Prime. It is even sweeter since we could cancel Netflix at the same time and save $96 a year there as well (though the selection is more limited on Amazon).
- jimktrains2 13y ago$96 a year for Netflix? You must have had the 8-discs at a time option, how did having Prime allow you to cancel Netflix then?

- byoung2 13y agoIt was $8/month for Netflix...I don't remember how many discs we had out at a time, but it was either 1 or 3. When they raised their prices, we stuck with the streaming-only option, which was also $8/month, so $96 a year. Instead of paying $96 a year for Netflix, we pay $79 a year for Amazon Prime, which has about 2/3 of what we watched on Netflix, but it's worth it.
