Gah just what I was looking for. BUT alas, it wont work.
My sign up offer disappeared after seeing it initially and not signing up.
Was hoping a direct link of some kind could get to it. :( Seems that one wont work.
Can anyone help with a fresh one that they got perhapd during checkout, seems that one redirects cause its no longer valid?

Nothing showing up for me. However during my last checkout on Amazon I was offered to sign up for their Visa card and get $30 off my first order. So my $31 order turned into $1. Never have to use the card again if I don't want to. That was sweeet.

That's truly amazing luck...$30 for the Amazon Credit Card.

Taht doesn't happen every day.

Oh, wait, yes it does.

I actually purchased it couple months ago. I think its a GREAT deal ... $79 (im not sure how much its now) /year is a steal, the price might look a little bit expensive at first but if you use amazon alot you should get the prime. I dont need to worry about $25+ anymore for free shipping. No minimum purchases, flat out free 2 day shipping. Also note that Amazon just doesnt sell "books" and "movies", I began to use the site more and more and found it to be pretty handy purchasing health/personal care products. I even order my toothpaste from there, its pretty funny to recieve a package in a big box with a tiny toothpaste in it lol

This is a good deal if you make under-$25 purchases from Amazon. However, there ARE limitations on which items are eligible for free shipping:

Generally, most items eligible for Super Saver Shipping are also eligible for Amazon Prime Shipping benefits.

So, if you're expecting Amazon to free-ship that heavy item, which normally costs $25 to ship, forget it.

Not to bump an old thread, but I was just offered a 3-month trial, so the deal is still good.

I signed up for this at the beginning of the summer and felt that this deserved a BUMP. I was about to make a post about it, but did a search first

Free 2nd-day shipping on all items, none of the $25 order nonsense, :thumbsup:

except...that offer is gone. A few new offers have popped up but the one this dead thread was about is gone.

Not to say prime is bad...I loved it. My prime trial came in at about the same time as my $200 (and more later) from expotv so it was great to be like "hmm, I want this $5 item" and have it in my hands 2 days later absolutely free.

My trial just ended and I cancelled. Of the 20+ orders I placed during the trial, only 3 were Prime eligible. There is no easy way to limit your search to just Prime stuff. Heck, can't even limit your search to in-stock stuff. I'm bailing out of Amazon because of stuff like that - I'll only go there for hot deals now.

My trial ended and I cancelled as well, but primarily because I found myself buying more stuff than I necessarily needed because the shipping was free. Best deal I did get on shipping was having Amazon send me a 107 pound exercise bike to me via FedEx overnight for $3.99.

EDIT: Now, while I do realize that Amazon receives a huge discount vs. your average Joe shipping a single package, after I first posted this, I was curious as to how much they would charge me if I was shipping the above item overnight. If I dropped it off to a FedEx location, it would have run me $382.79!

Sure there is. If you're looking for a chocolate condom from Amazon (and not a 3rd party seller), just use in the search box:

"chocolate condom Amazon"

Keep most (if not all of) the 3rd party listings from showing up
