Amazon "No-Rush Shipping" with Digital Credit no longer available?

Since COVID, is anyone finding the Amazon "No-Rush Shipping" with Digital Credit no longer available at checkout? Trying to figure out if this is just me or part of Amazon's strategy to reduce/throttle demand in the short-term (as they're flooded with orders and can't even fulfill Prime 2-day shipping anymore).
About the OP
Don't have Amazon Prime? Students can get a free 6-Month Amazon Prime trial with free 2-day shipping, unlimited video streaming & more.
If you're not a student, there's also a free 1-Month Amazon Prime trial available.
You can also earn cash back rewards on Amazon and Whole Foods purchases with the Amazon Prime Visa credit card. Read our review to see if it’s the right card for you.

Might be grounds for a class-action lawsuit unless Amazon voluntarily extends everyone's memberships.
Bingo. EVERYTHING for me is at least 8 days out. If I am lucky, 7 days, but most is 8-10, and yes these are all prime items that are in-stock. Heck some of them ship from a warehouse not 30 minutes from here.
Amazon is totally taking advantage of the situation to save a buck by claiming " 'covid". I am sure there's likely something in the Prime T&C that allows this, but they are hosing millions of customers under the guise of "prioritizing essential items". You can't tell me that their volume in "essential items" has increased SO much that they simply can't get other orders out the door just as fast. Pure bullshit money grabbers.
Amazon used to be my "go to" for convenience, selection and shipping time. Now, I am finding Walmart can get me similar items in about half the time (3-4 days). I hope Amazon is watching their market share erode to other outlets as they continue to rape their customers with Prime fees while not offering any sort of concession.
For a few weeks it likely did. It's been months of this.

I'd bet the Prime agreement has some wording in it that would negate the grounds for a class-action suit.
