      Noy OP, but I canceled all of Prime. I haven’t used anything but video and shipping from it for months already. Almost everything I want to see on Prime Video requires renting/buying or getting a subscription to some other service through Amazon.

      We didn’t buy enough stuff on Amazon last year to justify the cost via shipping either, even considering Christmas gift purchases.

        Seems like they thought if that: I just ordered coffee and Prime is claiming i saved $10 on shipping by using Prime. I mean, I wouldn’t have gotten coffee that way for a $10 shipping fee, but nice try

      Prime. Subscriptions with rebates still work. Prime video was already annoying enough with the ads at the beginning.

      Killed Amazon Fire TV stick before, was on nVidia Shield TV pro. Will try to order stuff elsewhere in future, too.
