      • tgame on 01/10/2020 - 17:11

        S&S is still has free shipping for me at least for the month of Spetember. has anything changed?

          • tgame on 01/10/2020 - 17:22

            @SnoozeAndLose: honestly, i don't know how/why. it's just works for me. I just add an item to s&s and looking at the amazon invoice no delivery fee was charged.

            Can someone else confirm this as well?

        It's more than that, they don't even offer the free trial before you even give a card number so they are looking at IP address, device IDs and cookies etc

        • CyberMurning on 01/10/2020 - 19:29

          Is this true? I'm thinking to create new account…… I can use different credit card but it's the same laptop

            +2

            @CyberMurning: Most subscription services have implemented checks like this now for their free trials, like Netflix. I'd be surprised if Amazon hadn't.

            IP Address, device ID, cookies, browser version, installed plugins, your OS - is all information that is generally passed over the internet as defined by various protocols such as HTTP. Add payment details and address to the mix and it's pretty easy for them to identify you.

            If you can't get another free trial - try using your phone, on mobile data - with a different credit card as well, I'd be surprised if it doesn't work

        • [Deactivated] on 21/10/2020 - 20:25

          IP address, device IDs and cookies are easily bypass. They mostly look at shipping address and card payments.

          • CyberMurning on 01/10/2020 - 22:41

            @soggypotato: That trick email plus one only works with Gmail right? Not Yahoo?

            • TheBooleanOne on 01/10/2020 - 23:10

              @CyberMurning: Looks like Yahoo supports disposable emails though, and it's a bit more elegant than the + notation.
              I personally use email forwarders on a custom domain which works pretty well too. Although you can't beat free with gmail and Yahoo.

          I think they have a 5 account limit, before the system starts flagging for dodgy stuff going on.

          Getting around 5 new free trial accounts was easy for me. After that, it's now become progressively harder and harder for me to get new free trials, to the point where I've almost given up.

          The last time I got a new free trial, I had to use the following convoluted method:

          (1) Create a new email account
          (2) Go to Amazon & use the Firefox Quick Cookie Manager add-on to: (a) Search for amazon & clear all found cookies (b) delete current site cookies (c) delete current context cookies.
          (2) Close the current Amazon tab. Do NOT use Private window. Use a new normal Firefox tab.
          (3) Go to Amazon again. Click on "Try Prime" and then the "Amazon Trial" box
          (4) Sign up for a new account. If everything is going OK, then it won't ask for a mobile phone number.
          (5) Use https://www.fakeaddressgenerator.com/AU_Real_Random_Address to put in a fake address and phone number

          After following the above steps, I got another free trial.

          The next problem I came up against was that I bought a box of Coke using a $20 gift card (and of course, the shipment address was my real name and address). I had originally bought the physical gift card using another one of my Amazon accounts (which was under my real name).

          After a day, not only was my order cancelled, but Amazon also 'seized' my gift card balance. The email claimed that I was suspected of having 'bought' the gift card from someone else, and the gift cards were supposed to be non-selleable to other people.

          I dunno. Maybe, I might have been more successful using a new credit/debit card, but I haven't tried since then, because the whole experience left me a little bit upset with Amazon, and I now do most of my shopping of small items on eBay.

          The Prime video inclusion is no use to me because I can get a much better selection of shows on Pir^te B^y, and shipping is free anyway, when I buy a large item above $39.

        Just cancelled with the hope it would come up with the extension of trial but unfortunately nothing, it just cancelled.

            When I try to switch to annual plan I get the following message:
            "Important Message: Due to a technical problem, we could not process your request completely. Please check after a few minutes."

  • brentsbits on 03/10/2020 - 11:49

    Deals are awesome but all that effort to effectively save $5? Amazon Prime at full price is the biggest steal out there. Free shipping on basically anything you want with no minimum (or a pretty low minimum internationally). A limited version of Prime Music. Access to Prime Video. For $60 a year.

    I mean, save what you can, where you can but this saves you five bucks….

      It is the principal not to pay for prime and get prime Benefit. Sour grapes?

  • crazyboy on 08/10/2020 - 13:31

    Just a heads up guys. I had Amazon Prime free trial for 60 days (including 30 days extension) in 2019. Today, logged into Amazon AU and one of the front page banners said take your 30 day free trial and they again gave me 30 days free trial again. I used the same credit card as I used previously.

    You can also try and update it here. If it works, someone can also post this as a deal.

    Getting ready for Prime Day!

    Thanks OP. My scenario was a combination of Options 1 & 2.

    3 days before trial ends, go to cancel and when a message to change a plan appears, click the button to switch >to annual ($59).
    1 day before trial ends, go to your account to cancel membership.
    On the second page of cancellation process, notice an offer for a 30-day extension and accept it.

    Just try to cancel, take them up on Annual offer.
    It says successfully changes, but after your free trial you will be billed.
    Then go and modify -> Click cancel -> Offer of promotion just for you will be shown. Accept the extra 30 days.

    Do it all on the same day.

    Thanks! My prime expires in 3 days & could extended for another 30 days.

    I first tried on app, switched to annual payment, proceeded to 2nd step of cancellation but the extension offer didn't show up. I then switched to monthly payment and followed the same step, but no extension offer. (Repeated 3-4 times by switching annual & monthly)

    It worked when I changed the payment on Internet browser (on Safari), proceeded to 2nd step and there came the 30 days extension offer!
    So people who can't see the offer on app, try on internet browser and see if it works.

  • CyberMurning on 06/11/2020 - 14:11

    i paid for yearly prime on one account last year, and few days ago created new email/account to get new trial.

    register all good, but when i go to the prime section i dont see any "trial" being offered.

    went to do a chat, the staffs said dont worry just click join, put your credit card, and i will credit a month fee to you, therefore you get 30 days free trial.
    now when i go to my account i can see:
    prime plan monthly aud 6.99
    renewal date 3 Dec 2020
    and i dont get any charges on my credit card.

    is this normal?

    • skido on 09/11/2020 - 14:57

      if no trial is being offered on a new account, it means amazon systems detected multiple accounts had been created on the same device / ip address / credit card / address

      • CyberMurning on 09/11/2020 - 15:03

        brand new laptop / ip is dynamic / different cc / havent put the address yet i think.

        for anyone who sign up for month to month, do we need to pay in advance? no charges yet on my CC already a week.. hmm ok will do online chat

        • skido on 09/11/2020 - 15:07

          either you have signed into your other accounts on the same device so it's detecting that also. no idea how it works but if you have multiple accounts then that's the reason it's not being offered.

          and yes, if you sign up month to month, it will charge you on the day of signup and renewal.

            @skido: nope, this is brand new laptop i had intention to get second trial so didnt use to log with old account previously.

            alright, now after going to the tax invoice section i can see a refund on the same day as my signing date, so the staff must be able to remove the charges before it hit my credit card.

            so yeah, same thing, free one month.
            will see early next month if i can get second one or not, probably not - if not then i drop prime on this and just re-join/pay for a yearly on my old account
