        yeah pretty disappointed with amazon thus far. The odd sale & price matching is good. But the normal pricing of products outside of these is very poor.

      • lukethefish on 30/01/2019 - 00:20

        No complaints from me. They always have the almost always joint cheapest price on products. With prime delivery, you get free 2-day delivery with no minimum spend which beats most of the competition. Another big plus point is that they never require signature on delivery unlike most of the competition.

            @Yola: This. No requirement for delivery is one of my biggest issues with Amazon. A few people said their $750+ Huawei P20 Pro mobile phones were left outside their doors in that recent, popular deal. That's just ridiculous.

            @Yola: Swings and roundabouts I guess. Through my experiences with Amazon I would expect that they would replace any items that weren't at your door when you went to get them…

    I buy and sign up stuff by impulse decision. Maybe some upvotes to me might help me in the right direction.
    I am a fan of online buying, not buying from amazon much coz always trying to reach that $49 free delivery threshold.

      I did not like Amazon at first due to membership fees but once I have tried Amazon, I already love them due to their guarantee shipping timeframe and peace of mind return, competitive prices (I bought a block of knife for $50 worth more than that in the shop which everyone asked where I got it from) and excellent customer support which you rarely see it on EBay. Also Amazon music free 80 hours and video is included in the membership so you could try it free then decide what to do

    Just swapped over to yearly. The free prime shipping pays for itself very quickly. Plus there are lots of good stuff to watch on Prime Video. PLUS you get a year of Twitch prime. For $60 a year I get so much value out of this it's a no brainer.

        Yes. It's enjoyable if you enjoy that sort of thing. It also lets you subscribe to one streamer for free each month. There are also subscriber only competitions etc. that aren't otherwise available to you.

    My monthly $4.99 got deducted yesterday… if I understand correctly, I'm better off to wait until the end of the current subscription month which would be 27th Feb and then before I get charged I move to annual subscription right? And I will still get the $4.99 refunded?

    • cornbeef on 29/01/2019 - 12:19
      +1

      That was my experience however I don't know if the 31st of January date has any role to play, as being the end of the $4.99 per month discount service.

    • KentT on 29/01/2019 - 12:30

      I swapped to annual - it said I was getting the balance refunded. $3.50 or so.

    • 4x-gkg on 29/01/2019 - 23:34

      I plan to switch to annual after having this monthly discount finished.

      You can check a box to have a reminder sent to you about three days before the next charge is up so you can switch to annual then.

      • AussieDaddy on 29/01/2019 - 13:17

        I know. I wanted to exhaust the $4.99 monthly subscription first before I move to the yearly subscription so I set the reminder about two months ago. Will switch it soon.

    Thanks OP. I forgot this was going to go up in price. Had waited to pay 6 months on one AMEX to be able to then pay a year on the other AMEX (double up on the $30 cashback).
    I had recently paid the monthly fee and just changed to yearly. Does anyone know if I will get reimbursed pro-rata for the monthly fee?

    • PassItOn on 29/01/2019 - 15:52

      did you got the cashback on second Amex for yearly payment ?

    Just cancelled mine - was just billed $4.99 and it said if I cancel I can get 4.99 refunded. Used it a few times in my 30 day free trial but may not use again. Although may regret this when I see ozbargain deals come up and then possibly splurge and do the $59/pa plan.

    • greennick on 29/01/2019 - 16:49

      I don't think it will be 59 per year when you go to do that. This is the special price.

      • lukethefish on 30/01/2019 - 00:24

        Haven't seen anything to suggest that the $59 / year price is a special price. Seems to be the current regular price until they decide to add more value or increase the regular price. This thread is about the introductory monthly price coming to an end.

  • HappyXD on 29/01/2019 - 16:04

    I just changed my plan from monthly to annual and I was instantly charged as opposed to when my current period was over (which was next month). Contacted live support and they instantly refunded me the remaining days and apologised.

    • merajaan on 29/01/2019 - 17:28
      +1

      Same. Amazon.com.au is overpriced for almost everything - eBay is much cheaper and better variety. Don't understand why everyone on here is raving on about it when the consensus has been quite the opposite on Ozbargain. Have had Amazon Prime as I got the annual membership for 50% off back in October but have barely used it. Meanwhile I've bought so many things off eBay thanks to the regular sales they have on there (SSDs and other random tech).

          • cloudy on 29/01/2019 - 21:23

            @Skinnerr: if thats the case dont come on ozbargain to look for bargains, just buy what you need/want whenever you want, dont think, wasting time.

            • Skinnerr on 29/01/2019 - 22:13

              @cloudy: Whoah, chill the hostility. I never said waste all your money if it saves time. There is a balance to be weighed into account.

              Getting the absolute rock bottom price while dealing with the pitfalls of shopping in-store and in person vs paying a bit of extra $$ to avoid all that is worth it to some people.

              It's not always about penny pinching the best price ever, different people have different needs/wants and paying for convenience at a good price can be a great time saving investment.

              This is also ignoring all of Amazons popular deals that frequently get posted too.

      • Yuri Lowell on 30/01/2019 - 13:40

        I meant you pay for shipping without Prime on any item under $49. With Prime you can get any item, regardless of cost, with free shipping. For example, if I need a $5 item then I can just grab it from Amazon with free shipping.

    • cloudy on 29/01/2019 - 20:13

      Not sure anyone can confirm, it’s never been anything but $59

      • yacman on 30/01/2019 - 22:38

        I just spoke to the chat and they have told me the price is not promotional and is $59 annual

        Which makes sense because 12 * $4.99 is $49.88

        Technically cheaper to pay month by month at $4.99

        BUT once it goes up to $6.99 if you times that by 12 = $83.88

        It makes sense that annual would remind at $59 because if not, what would the incentive be to lock in for 12 months when it's only a $23 saving currently, I doubt they would offer annual memberships for say $69 (a $10 saving)

        • zootv on 30/01/2019 - 22:53

          12 * $4.99 is actually $59.88, so it was cheaper to pay annually even at the promo price of $4.99

            @zootv: sorry that was a typo, I was in a rush and now I can't edit because you replied.

            But you are correct by $0.88 cents, I would say not committing to 12 months of prime after how bad their launch was in Australia was worth the extra $0.88 cents if you could pay that rate for the full 12 months, now it has proved to have some value it is worth $59.
