AMAZON PRIME will be $67 this Friday 9/25/2015

I'm not sure this is really the right forum, but it will probably get the most traffic here.

According to this article, Amazon will have a sale on Prime this Friday to celebrate the Emmy wins for Transparent.

http://www.engadget.com/2015/09/22/a...s-transparent/


To properly celebrate, the online retailer is discounting the cost of Prime for new members this Friday. From 12:00 AM ET to 11:59 PM PT, signing up for the annual subscription will set you back $67 instead of the usual $99. .

I wonder if that means I can cancel it today and sign up again Friday?

I imagine AMAZON will have fixed the loophole that people used last time. Chances are if you try to gift this to yourself, all you're going to get is $67 worth of credit towards a full-price membership.

This is actually very important information for those thinking about letting their older Prime memberships expire or lapse. You lose the ability to share your account with more than one other person when your Prime lapses even for one day.

Yeah, I'm conflicted about this, mainly because of the change in Prime sharing. I'm currently bogarting a friend's Prime membership thru the old sharing plan. I would consider signing up at this rate to get access to streaming, but knowing that I can't go back to sharing is putting me off.

This is now live. They've closed the loophole for sending gift memberships at the reduced rate.

Sucks they won't let me add the Norton Promotion $20.00 credit I got from Amazon.

So we can't extend our current membership from the date of expiration, for a year, at that price?

Went ahead and signed up. Was always on the fence about it but good price to give it a try for the year.

It's unfortunate they won't let current Prime members take advantage of this deal to extend their membership. Just having a one day sale for new members only? Is this just to get them more publicity for their original programming (Transparent, Bosch, etc.)?
