How I unlocked the second month Prime trial:

Opt in for 30-day Prime trial
A day before trial ends, go to cancel and when a message to change a plan appears click the button to switch to annual ($59)
Right after changing the plan go back to cancel the plan again - a message to extend the trial for another 30 days will appear
Click the button to extend the plan

03/05/19 UPDATE:
How it might work as well:
1. Opt in for 30-day Prime trial
2. 3 days before trial ends, go to your account to cancel membership.
3. On the second page of cancellation process notice an offer for a 30-day extension and accept it.

Do they not charge you when you switch to the $59 annual plan..?

  Nope. There was a message that I've switched to 59 plan and that my current trial ends tomorrow after I will be charged $59.

  Who doesn't, I swear any major Australian online retailer has been including these for years (Surf Stitch, Iconic? etc.)
  
  It's totally worth it for one order through when you stack with a discounted mix/match case for first order.
  
  Where they get you is you need to sign up to a $40 per month cult in order to use it.
  
  Then you can't cancel online, need to call up etc. ugh.

  Apt name for the company as buying their wines will force you to sell even the clothes off your back just to afford a drink. Might be naked and broke but at least you'll have overpriced wine to ease the pain of being broke and naked haha

  I guess once you are on paid membership and already out of the initial trial, this "trial extension" won't work.

    Sorry for the late reply. I didn’t jump on the neg button ( i have probablr negged 5 deals since i joined ozb a few years ago).
    
    It wasn’t about the OP. The title has changed so it is explined better. But still no guarantee that this deal is available for the people than join today. That’s why i said it is not really a two months trial.
    
    Anyway, ozb community disagree with my neg and neg has been revoked.
    
    All good and sorry if the OP thought it was against him.

I think this may apply to everyone when their Prime trial is about to end.
I remember it offered me another free month when I cancelled my subscription a few months back.
- ShouldIBuyIt on 26/02/2019 - 10:15
  
  I believe it used to ask you why you wanted to cancel, which a comment pointed out that one specific reason triggered the offer aforementioned - whereas you'd get it for any reason really. I just tried and it seems that trick doesn't exist anymore, hence OP's is the way to get it now. Thanks OP.
- syousef on 26/02/2019 - 17:52
  
  My wife got the offer but I did not. I think it depends on how much use you made of the trial, but that too is just speculation.

Amazon is awesome. Completely forgot to cancel my mship trial at the end of the 30days. Just proceeded to cancelling it 10days later and I had the choice to either keep it until end of 2nd month or get a refund for the 2nd month! No hassle having to chase them for refund, that's great!
ShouldIBuyIt on 26/02/2019 - 09:55

Also, it seems we won't retain the $4.99 monthly fee. Still worth it though

"On 2 March 2019, you will be charged $4.99, and on 2 April 2019, you will be charged another $6.99"

  I just paid the $59 for the year. I feel I get enough value out of Amazon Prime AU to warrant it.

    your lucky, back when amazon US was US$79 (AU$110) I did many years and it's now AU$166.50. But for 2-day free shipping over a year it is still so worth it :)

The day before seems too close, appears to have charged me straight away for the year. It has a last payment as of today and already says it expires next year. So I'd do it at least 2 days before just in case. I ended the membership and it offers me to refund the $59 so that is good.

Thanks OP. Just tried it with my current trial which had over a week to go. Proceeded to cancel after being offered a reminder, a cancel and another option (can't remember). Basically there were three buttons under a picture to click on. I chose continue to cancel. Then, on the next page, I got the offer to extend for another thirty days. Might work for plans that have even longer expiries but it looks like I lost three days in the next month for accepting the offer earlier than you suggested (a small price to pay). Cheers.

Id be careful signing for the trial. The cancellation is very difficult. Also if you try and beat the system by using a Debit card with no money but make a payment with a credit card for anything else, they will charge the credit card without your approval. They also sting you with the intial prime membership which is in USD. No more free trials full stop for me

  That's not true. The cancellation was extremely straight forward when I cancelled mine earlier this year.
- DEvok on 26/02/2019 - 13:32
  
  Looks like an overdraft, that’s something with the bank, normally it should reject with no funds. Seems to only happen with PayPal, amazon and big companies, weird how the system works..
compugrid on 26/02/2019 - 12:52

  Um, if they're using Fastway they can stick Prime up their ***. My driver hates me because I refused a delivery (as instructed by the retailer), so now she doesn't even try to deliver but leaves the card and takes it to the pickup point that's 20 minutes drive away for me.

  Change your payment option to Monthly, Your Account > Manage Your Prime Membership > Monthly (dropdown under payment option)
  
  Click End Trial and Benefits go through the prompts and you'll get the Extend Free Trial offer
  
  Switch your payment option back to Annual (because it's cheaper)

  When you go to cancel the trial it doesn't actually cancel it right away. I think it just sets it to cancel at the end of the 30-day period. I think it doesn't show any popups, it was a message on the page in my case.

How is Amazon in Australia? I know they are relatively new and eBay is trying to kill them off over there, but in the US I couldn't live without them. I've ordered pretty much every type of product from groceries to TV's to clothing to sticky tape, and their streaming service is great (eg The Expanse in 4k hdr). Membership is a lot more expensive in the US.
