Sometimes (especially with a baby) you need things right away. |

Then you go to CVS. |

You are stupid, they do it by mailing address not just email. |

You are stupid (not usually one for name-calling, but come on). My Prime expired last month and my DH (who already had an Amazon account) registered for Amazon Mom and now has Prime. We have the same mailing and shipping address - not to mention, the same billing info. |

If big, rich Amazon.com can't be bothered to check the mailing address on the accounts, I promise you that this is not hurting their bottom line enough to raise your prices. Not that I would do this. I wouldn't. But I do let my kid eat grapes in the supermarket ::GASP:: |

Ha--if only CVS had 1/10 of the stuff Amazon has. I think prime is one of those things you don't realize how awesome it is until you have it. That shit comes SO fast! Books, diapers, household items, baby gear, toys, you name it. Without prime it takes a week or more. |

My membership has not yet expired (expires in Feb), so for the record I have not had my DH sign up and have not thought about it yet.
I do not understand how having a different person with a different account but the same mailing and billing address sign up is stealing. The husbands have been using the shipping on their individual accounts already and I would expect the wives would add their accounts to their husbands' Amazon Mom accounts. The Amazon computer system is sophisticated enough to figure this out and. if it is allowed, I suspect that is intentional. As people have said, they spend more. I specifically look for prime eligible items when I am shopping. I think the marketing people are digging deep in the data of everyone's shopping habits and there is absolutely no surprise that families are doing this. As noted, the program has been suspended for the holidays. Amazon did not get this successful by having idiots at the helm. |

09:20, I agree that with Prime, you spend more. I had it through Amazon Mom, and it just expired. We spent crazy $ at Amazon, beyond the necessities of diapers.
I am going to see how long we can last without it, and if it helps me curb my Amazon/impulse purchases. $10 here and there can really add up. |

we buy everything through Amazon prime and are just about to pay the $80 when our account expires in late December.
I just checked and we had 78 orders in 2011. That's a whole lot of free (2 day!) postage. Certainly worth the $80! |

This notion that it is stealing or a violation of the "spirit" for the other parent to subscribe when one parent's benefits expire is holier-than-thou nonsense. I am pasting the T&Sc for Amazon Mom and also their eligibility description below, to show that there is no restriction on this type of membership. And just to be sure, I just called Amazon's customer service, who not only said it is permitted, but actually encouraged. So, self-righteous pp's, I will take a turn to speak for Amazon now, in telling you to go pound sand, Amazon wants the business.
