Amazon Prime $59 for amazon card members only

Quote from dn3g3l : i currently have student prime and it's set to expire on the 24th. if i let it renew automatically, will the $20 credit work? i tried cancelling to renew, but it won't let me cancel. it only let me turn off auto renew.

Same situation for me and it did NOT work. I even inquired with one of their 'chat' reps beforehand and was told yes, based on the last 4 digits of my card I would be receiving the $20 statement credit. Well two weeks went by and no statement credit! So yesterday I did the 'chat' thing again and this time they came back saying no, I wasn't eligible because it was by email invitation only and I hadn't received the email! I wish they'd make up their damn minds and give me a consistent answer!

I do NOT like prime, only a few items are prime eligible and the ones that are are abhorrently overpriced to factor in the shipping.

really a lot of stuff from amazon is majorly overpriced, shop smart, a lot of the same stuff they sell on amazon for 7$ is 2$ at walmart.

Everything that is prime is super saver shipping anyway, is getting your item in 3 days rather than 5 really worth it for a yearly fee?

Picked my Wii U up at midnight at Wal-Mart; there were tons w/ nobody else there! I was tempted to grab another one to resell but felt guilty and didn't (even though the guy asked "how many?"). The stupid Wal-mart didn't have Mario, ZombiU or Black Ops II so I just have NintendoLand right now. Heading up to Best Buy in a few minutes (they opened early) to snag some games and to see if I can get them to match the Toys R Us deal or at the very least Target.

Almost everything amazon sells is prime eligible. I'm surprised how many people have a hard time telling the difference between 3rd party sellers. I do agree that their prices are not as great as they used to be.

But the no minimum has definitely come in handy a few times for me. So many split second deals are under $25, and if you spend time looking for fillers you'd miss them. And if you have any interest in the large and growing video library, that makes it well worth it practically by itself, with the free shipping an added perk.

An update on my results with this deal. I signed up on 11/11 and the statement credit came on 11/13. Very quickly. However, I did get this deal in the mail originally and my rewards credit card last 4 digits were specifically named in that mailing. I hadn't checked my credit card statement until today because I thought it was going to come 2 weeks later.

I signed up on 10/17 and still not received the credit. Has anyone else received it?

Were you selected for this offer?

Not sure. But when I signed up for this one, I did get a message that I will get $20.

Everyone got that message.

I got the statement credit but did not get whatever message right after signing up you guys are talking about. The reason I knew about this deal was because I actually was sent a piece of postal mail giving me this offer. My guess is that is why the statement credit was automatically entered. My card was specifically called out for this offer. I don't know how they chose who would be sent the offer. I got amazon prime on 11/10 and 11/13 got the statement credit.

If you don't have the statement credit yet, I would recommend contacting Amazon to ask why. You might not ever be able to get this deal because you weren't part of the offer, but you might as well try.
