I cancelled prime quite a while back and I’ll use the free month they offer and immediately cancel and also get it for the month of November to make life a little easier, and again, I’ll cancel it immediately.
It just isn’t worth it!
Comment on Way past its prime: how did Amazon get so rubbish?

People consume prime so inelastically thinking they can’t get by without it.
I cancelled mine when Trump won and don’t miss it at all. Most places will ship for free nowadays and charge the same prices as Amazon. Two day shipping is the only perk of Prime and even that doesn’t always happen. If I need something that bad, I just go to a store, which again, charged the same prices as Amazon nowadays.

I was holding onto Prime for the unlimited automatic photos backup (I had 300+ GB backed up) but I finally cancelled a few months ago. I’ve ordered a couple of times since then when I couldn’t find what I needed elsewhere and instead of 2 days shipping is has consistently been 3 days delivery.

I canceled my Prime in 2023 to save money. They offer free months of it all the time. I swear we’ve gotten at least 8 out of 12 months free. I’d accept the offer then immediately cancel it and you still get the remainder of the time. Just pay attention to the offer because they do word it weirdly sometimes. Sometimes they’ll also offer 1.99 for 14 days. Accept and then go to Prime settings and cancel.
