That’s the whole idea of e-commerce businesses. Making it easier for people to spend money. You click the button without even thinking about it and often one doesn’t even need to click any button.
Probably really close to the same for Netflix, maybe 2000-2001? I'm 98% sure we had it before we moved to this house, so that would make that timeframe pretty close. I know my first documented DVD review was in Feb 2002
Yup, me too. That is the only card I use for Amazon and it has paid for my Prime membership a couple of times.
No doubt, we buy enough from Amazon where, it build up pretty quick, then I score something for $0
Since cashback at Amazon is for us, effectively just a 5% discount, I've got to where I even factory that into the price.

It always feel good when you go to buy something and notice you have enough points or dollars in the hopper to get it for $0.00!!! Or if you go to purchase something and notice you will have a nice little, or in some cases a substantial discount on the item!
While I shop with Amazon, I am not a member of Amazon Prime.
Actually, instead, often, when making a purchase, I have to dodge those irritating and invasive pop-ups inviting me to join Amazon Prime every week or so, and am obliged to squint to locate the tiny button declining this kind invitation.

I think I have the Amazon Visa that pays 5%? I know it pays 5%, but think it’s a Visa. However I split purchases between that and Discover, which also pays 5% and rewards can be deducted from Amazon purchases.

It boils down to how much you buy and how often. Sometimes you need something, and don’t want to wait till you gather up $35 (equivalent in UK?) in items to purchase to get free shipping, and shipping can add up. With the membership you can buy things as small as a a couple of dollars/pounds and get it in two days with free shipping.

Yeah, sometimes I'll have a few items in my cart, and I'm not sure about all of them just yet, and I love that I can just 'save for later' everything else, order the 1 or 2 items and get it shipped for free.
It just auto renewed a few days ago. The price comes up but the value does not. Amazon Prime has a 'free' tier of Amazon Music and it has gotten less and less enticing. If I'm paying an extra $10 IN ADDITION to the $130+ they're already getting, I don't expect to pay more for music too. Amazon Video is 'free' not sure why Music isn't.
Not a member.
When I order from Amazon, I get free shipping. I thought that was for orders of $50 or more, but I get that benefit for smaller amounts. I don't see the point in joining.

I'm not a member. My sister gave me her login to watch movies but I don't even do that.
Buying a lot of things isn't my game- and even when I do buy things, I get my personal stuff from target (right next to my office) or ebay (cheaper, maybe used if available). I'm into Apple Music and most movies I stream via Criterion streaming or Starz (which maybe even has a better selection of movies on their app than Netflix). I buy shoes from my local family shoe store, and thats infrequent- any sometimes other goods from outlets nearby.

THIS. I will probably join before the end of the year as I hope the price does not go up for it.
Guys!!! I joined made my first purchase! Should get here tomorrow.
Excellent, and don't forget you've got access to Prime Video now as well, there's an ATV app (of course, iPad/iPhone, Computer)
I love my Prime. Somehow my husband and I both have Prime accounts. We've talked about one of us giving up the account and just sharing, but we both have too much in there to do that. We both have monthly deliveries for a bunch of things. The only time we share at this point is when I use Prime video on my AppleTV, cause he has some premium channels.
If you have stuff you know you're going to consistently use "subscribe and save" can save you some money.
The new season of Jack Ryan is about to start. Season 1 doesn't have a huge amount of episodes to catch up on.
FYI, you can have separate accounts, but share a single Prime, that's what the wife and I do! (so I have all Prime benefits, but no cost)
What I was saying was I'm able to move items out of my cart, without having to worry about the total cart value in the context of shipping. $500? Free, $10? Free.
And anymore, a ton of stuff is next day for free
Are you able to set how long you want the next delivery for subscribe and save?
Honestly I can't remember. You can skip a month easily but it started being too much for me to juggle keeping track of how much I had of what. I can get things so quickly with Prime shipping I just order them when I need them.
