Not sure how many of you use amazon, but shipping is free with Amazon Prime. You can get amazon prime shipping (free 2 day, upgrade to one day for $3.99 per item) for FREE for 3 months or even longer with Amazon Mom or Amazon Prime!!
Prime shipping is great esp when looking for deals. If you are busy you can save a LOT of time by having basics shipped - and with prime you don't pay a ton extra for shipping. With Amazon Moms you can set up scheduled shipments and save even more. their scheduled shipments normally save you 15% - and you can save another 15% on diapers and wipes - a total 30% discount on them with Amazon Moms.
This is the body of the welcome email I got from the mom's program:
We're so glad you're here. Now it's time to put Amazon Mom to work for you to save time and money. Here's how:
You also get guaranteed delivery on day of release for new books, movies, games etc.... Amazon is usually cheaper than any local place in my area, so that is pretty nice for us. This page will link you to the explanation of the program and the sign up page. It says that it is for mothers of babies and toddlers but you do NOT NOT NOT have to have a baby or toddler. You also don't have to be a mom - dads, caregivers, stepparents, etc... are welcome. It is just called Amazon Mom because it sounds better than Amazon Parents and Caregivers. They ask for your child's birthday but you don't have to give them verification of that info in any way. I changed the birthday by a few days because I don't like to spread their real birthday around to places I shop. This will take you to the page that explains the program: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_left_sib?ie=UTF8&nodeId=200529600
I don't know the details of Amazon Student, but I do know that you ahve to have an active email with a university or school that has .edu at the end of the email addy. You can learn more about Amazon Student with this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...e=UTF8&nodeId=200500380&qid=1310577780&sr=1-1
With the full ($79) Prime membership you can put other people on it. With the student and mom you cannot do this. Right now there is a deal to get a FULL prime membership for half price if you have the free student membership. You get one year for half price and this includes their free streaming videos. They have 6000 videos available for instant streaming with a full membership. Be aware that the selection of videos does change often, or so they claim. I haven't tried this so I don't know if it is true or not.
Right now there is a thread on sellout.woot.com that will offer a full Prime membership for half price to anyone with Amazon Student. It is how I learned about all this. It doesn't work with Amazon Mom. The way the deal works is that you get your free student membership for a full year (NOT the 3 months with Amazon Mom) and then you have the option of renewing your prime membership for half price ($39) each year for 4 years! That is one full free year and 4 full half price years - or 5 years of free 2 day shipping for $158!! The half price offer is NOT a limited time offer. It is part of the student benefits to get students to continue to use amazon after they graduate and have some $$, and I doubt they are likely to change this.
The one real condition for either the Moms or Students program is that you MUST accept emails from amazon. You CAN cancel the emails from amazon, but your free prime membership via Student or Mom will also be cancelled as of that time.
If you already have a paid Prime membership and want to join either program, they will refund the months left on your paid full price membership. You won't get the streaming videos, but I think most of their free streaming videos are on hulu, netflix or even the network websites.
This is a really great bargain, in my opinion, and costs nothing to try. I had a one month free prime membership deal that expired on July 8 and I saved over $45 on shipping for some stuff we needed including tubes for husband's CPAP machine (not just the item that was the wrong size).
Please let me know if you decide to try it. I try to only post deals I think y'all will be interested in, but without feedback I don't have a clue if they are helpful or just taking up space. Thanks!
