        depends how much you shop there and whether you watch prime video.

          I never watched any but will consider

        • aragornelessar on 16/07/2018 - 11:00

          I've got a prime video membership from the french offer a while back - any idea if the Australian offerings be the same? I heard the US offering is different

          @aragornelessar:

          Can confirm, U.S Prime Video is much much better than the Australian version. The movies and tv shows are newer and you get a lot more choice.

          Use a VPN to get access to the U.S version.

        • virhlpool on 20/07/2018 - 23:25

          @emoticon: Even with VPN (set for the US), it shows the same list as that for Aus. Any trick?

  • SnoozeAndLose on 16/07/2018 - 06:00

    Only payments for Amazon Prime monthly or annual memberships are eligible for the offer. All other payments at Amazon.com.au are ineligible.

          @LoveBargain15: Just to clarify if you signed up just for monthly installments and continued for 1 month. You would be able to get 50% off the monthly installment and a purchase…. up to the value of $30. Hope that makes sense.

        • SnoozeAndLose on 16/07/2018 - 21:55

          @gdiddy7:

          so do i need to sign up for a month and make the purchase immediately?

          I am a bit confused.

      • sween64 on 16/07/2018 - 10:36

        But will Amex be able to distinguish the difference? What does the invoice entry for a prime subscription say?

        • ihavecentsnotsense on 16/07/2018 - 12:06

          I’m not sure, but it’s pretty clear in the terms that it has to be purchased through the particular web link. I think it’s be easy for them to distinguish between the purchasing of goods from their website, particularly from a third-party supplier, and the creation of a subscription-based service that Amazon themselves operate. But if you’re curious, why not give it a try and let us know?

  • JIMB0 on 16/07/2018 - 06:22

    What exactly is prime and why would I want it?

    • ihavecentsnotsense on 16/07/2018 - 06:23

      https://www.amazon.com.au/prime

      like @ihavecentsnotsense said, most people use it for free shipping (great for those sub $10 items)
      and also Amazon video (not as good as Netflix, but has some decent shows & movies)

    Anything wrong with this strategy

    Pay monthly with one card

    December pay for yearly with another card

    • T-man on 16/07/2018 - 06:44

      Why not, you can change card info as many time as you like

        What's the strategy if you have multiple? Are you going to buy multiple Prime memberships?

        Use one Amex for the monthly subscription until December, then a second card for the yearly subscription (to get the full 50% off).

        • theguyrules on 16/07/2018 - 08:40

        • lostn on 16/07/2018 - 08:48

          do they have to be different Amazon accounts?

      • kulprit on 16/07/2018 - 09:01
        +1

        Why the 14th?

        Are we going to have to be careful that we currently don't have a month paid up so that when we change to a year the fee gets taken before the 18th? I've assume going from monthly to yearly won't bill me until the last month runs up.

        • josho9 on 16/07/2018 - 14:04

          I can confirm that at least if you are currently on the free trial, switching from monthly to annually does not bill you immediately but rather changes the amount to be billed on the next renewal date. I think it's reasonable to assume that it will operate the same way if you have paid for your current month, but hopefully someone else can confirm.

      • AncientWisdom on 17/07/2018 - 17:36

        What 50% Amazon Prime thread??

    • ash2000 on 16/07/2018 - 07:12

      Anything wrong with this strategy

      Pay monthly with one card

      December pay for yearly with another card

      I think it's only one transaction per card, so if you pay monthly, you'll only receive $2.50 cashback for the first month.

      No, I'm wrong! Smart thinking.

      …..then Dec 17…."WTF?"

        • [Deactivated] on 16/07/2018 - 08:37

          it does pretty much elsewhere too. I'm guessing they seperated it as it's expensive & thus lets them keep the Prime price lower (it's $au160/yr in the US, $au108 in the UK). And they've missed the boat for music streaming in Oz, Spotify, Google & Apple have that cornered.

        • interstellar on 16/07/2018 - 08:52

        I just registered and it clearly states Prime Music is included.

        " Prime Music
        Get instant access to over two million songs ad-free and on-demand, for up to 40 hours per month. "

        So it includes Shipping, Video, Music, Twitch (games) and Reading.

        EDIT: Uggghh sorry, I just saw how old these posts are. Offer is still valid though and just signed up.

        • zzyss on 19/11/2018 - 09:28

          It's not Music Unlimited. Like Kindle Reading (not Unlimited), the Prime Music is a cut-rate version of the full thing (Music Unlimited) with only 40 hours and a drastically reduced catalogue.

    • jiulun on 16/07/2018 - 08:17

      The selection of movies is very limited.

  • tonyjg on 16/07/2018 - 07:07

    registered with Amex QF card

    so… Prime free for 1 month.. then the discounted deal for a few months…. and then register it for a year for $30 after that in December ??

    given the UTTERLY POOR blu ray selection - and more expensive UK and US limited selection- I'll have to monitor what stuff they have.

    We're only doing this because of the Turnbull Tax.

    • [Deactivated] on 16/07/2018 - 09:18

      what you've described is Amazon's fault actually. they've decided to limit the availability of stock in the AU store. As for the price, we're always going to be charged more then the US store (that goes for pretty much all things, as the US has economies of scale, much larger popiulation density and it's cheaper to do business) , but we should be similar to the UK store (or cheaper as they have a 20% gst).

    • RockyRaccoon on 16/07/2018 - 09:33

      Considering that many US deals were limited anyway - Wouldnt ship to Oz, this isnt as bad as you make it out.

      BTW Its NOT Turnbull Tax

      nope, people in the US were spewing when they announced the 20% increase, as they weren't able to extend their yearly membership before the price rise.

      Pretty much same as most other streaming services, a la Netflix, except for whatever reason they don't support Chromecast from their mobile apps.

      • sween64 on 16/07/2018 - 10:38

        Probably because Amazon have Alexa and Fire Stick and don't want to support their competitor Google's products of Google Home and Chromecast.

    I'm still on the Prime Trial period, how do I make full annual payment, can't see the option anywhere?

    Update: Nevermind, all you need is manually register your AMEX from link posted by forumninja above, then edit your Prime payment and change it to your Amex card, by going here Your Account > Manage Your Prime Membership, once your trial period end, money will be taken out of your AMEX and then you will receive your cash back.

    • RtN on 17/07/2018 - 15:33

      Would you not let your trial go close to lapsing and then change it?

      • RtN on 17/07/2018 - 15:34

        Oh wait, so you can make it choose annual membership once trial is over?

  • whtsthenews on 16/07/2018 - 10:29

    I have a similar question as kml22, if I am already enrolled for Prime and still in trial period, am I still eligible for this offer as long as I pay monthly or annual membership on Amex card?

    • kml22 on 16/07/2018 - 11:02

      Yes, make sure you manually register your card first (link posted by forumninja above), then edit your membership payment to use AMEX, after the trial period, money will be taken out of your AMEX card, and then you will receive your cash back.

  • tightm8 on 16/07/2018 - 10:54

    For those tossing up if it is 'worth it' or not.

    I'll be honest, Prime Video alone is worth around $5-8 a month. The free shipping adds even better value. Get this asap!

    Note, I'll be keeping the membership going monthly $4.99 until November using a Mastercard debit, then switch to annual using the Amex card. That way you maximise savings, won't risk doing it in December.

    • ash2000 on 16/07/2018 - 11:39

      • Jared17 on 20/07/2018 - 12:07

        Gonna answer my own question after signing for free trial. It's rubbish. Not worth even $1 a month. For people considering Amazon prime, just consider merit of that alone. Don't even need to take Amazon video into account. Selection is pitiful.

      • SickDmith on 26/07/2018 - 02:53

        Do they do geoblocking?
        Can I watch Amazon Prime US with Getflix?

        If this is the case then we compare Amazon Prime US vs Netflix AU.
        Right?

        • nickeveli on 28/07/2018 - 21:40

          No you can't just use geo-blocking to access the US catalog in this case. You would need a US-based payment method and would need to set your country as US, which you can't do in Amazon.com.au.

  • SBOB on 16/07/2018 - 11:08

    might be cheap enough to consider prime now ;)

    • ash2000 on 16/07/2018 - 11:40

      I'm not entirely sure it will be even worth $30 to me, but at $2.50 a month, I'll give it a go.

      • virhlpool on 20/07/2018 - 23:44

        You don't even need to give it a go at $2.50 if it's only for a month. Just take a free trial.

    Only payments for Amazon Prime monthly or annual memberships are eligible for the offer. All other payments at Amazon.com.au are ineligible.

    I wonder how this will be achieved.

    e.g. I bought something from amazon today and in the amex app it has associated this offer with that transaction (perhaps the logic in the app is less sophisticated than the logic in their cashback processing but here's hoping)

    • Sweetnsour on 16/07/2018 - 22:22

      Probably a separate merchant account. Maybe Amazon prime is paid to parent company or subsidiary. Au site might be another merchant account.

      • zzyss on 17/07/2018 - 10:06
        +1

        This.

        I bought 2 items yesterday, and one was billed to "Amazon" and the other "Amazon Marketplace" - neither triggered the 50% cashback for Prime. It wouldn't be too far a stretch to imagine that memberships are billed to another biller. Otherwise, there's a small possibility that it goes by amount? But that'd be a very weird way of doing it.

        • u3g32 on 21/07/2018 - 05:28

          Membership goes to "Amazon Prime" as merchant for your membership fees as opposed to just "Amazon" or "Amazon Marketplace" for items.

  • couger on 17/07/2018 - 21:48

    Thank you for using Amex Offers with your Card ending in xxxxx at AMAZON PRIME.
