For people who have prime is access to Amazon content really worth it? I don't think I order enough to make it worthwhile. Then again I may order a bit more if I had prime.
 
having it around christmas time alone is worth the fee.

amazon prime video is terrible though, just like netflix streaming is terrible. it's a bunch of crappy movies or old stuff i've already seen for the most part.
 
Prime is AWESOME! It has replaced my going to the store for lots of items, household mostly. Dogfood, laundry detergent, specialty gourmet food items, printer ink, heck, we even bought our couches & they were delivered Prime. Worth every penny. Prime music is okay, Prime video is meh, except for the new original content.
 
Order a ton of shit from there because I get more cashback than at grocery stores. I've got the Amazon CC (3% year round) and the Chase Freedom (5% Oct - Dec). I order everything I can from Amazon because of this.

I find myself watching TV shows much more than movies. They are a season behind but that's fine for free. It really shines if you have kids though. Currently the kids are watching through Pokemon Red & Black.

Yep, it is worth having Prime just for Christmas shopping for sure.

I actually like Prime video though. They have all the old HBO shows that I never got to see, so I get my money's worth there. The music streaming isn't half bad either.
 
I usually end up ordering something that takes advantage of free 2-day shipping about every month or so. I occasionally use Amazon Instant Video, though not as much as I do Netflix. Overall, I'd say it's worth it for me, but just barely. But I like it.

You can get 6% back at grocery stores with AMEX Blue Cash Preferred. It does have a $75 annual membership fee though.
 
My son watches a bunch of stuff on there that was removed from Netflix. They also have exclusive early HBO stuff. Prime shipping really makes it a no-brainer. Sitting on the couch "damn I need a new SDcard" 1-click buy, $8, and 2 days later it was here.

My order count has increased dramatically over the years I have had prime. They really get you hooked once you buy in.

Seriously thinking about dropping Netflix now.
 
I don't use the video service much but, I do use the music streaming. I order 3 to 4 time a month so that alone makes it worth it for me.
 
Ever since I had Prime, I've had between 30-40 orders per year from Amazon. Very rarely these are single items, so that's about ~50 items or one item per week on average in the past ~4 years (that's delivered to our household in two days or less). I haven't really leveraged Prime for grocery type and day to day stuff (which I should), or it could be way more.

The best example is when I browse around on a lazy Friday night, found something I wanted, submitted my order (say, around 9 pm), and boom there it is delivered to me Sunday before noon.
