I love the free shipping because I buy a lot from them! Also enjoy the movies and shows as well as the music. It's definitely worth the yearly fee for me.

I have had Prime since it was available. Here are a few tips:

1. Select no rush shipping and get $ credit.
2. Put items in your cart but don't buy. Amazon will send you notice when the price goes down or up on that item. I have saved a lot when the price lowers on an item I want.
3. Select Amazon Smile so every purchase you make Amazon donated to your selected charity. I selected St. Judes. It doesn't effect or change any way you shop at Amazon.
4. Watch for bonus buys. You add the item to another purchase to get a bargain deal usually because it cost more to ship that item separately then to buy it.
5. To have Prime work for you and get all the benefits, read the discussion forums at Amazon.
