Is Amazon Prime susbscription worth it?

[travellingwest]

I have studiously avoided a subscription to AP for years but am contemplating it. Is it worth it? I shop on Amazon a fair amount but it isn't always my go to. I was wondering whether to just pay for Prime TV?? Can you still separate them, only paying for one service and not the whole shebang?

Thoughts everyone.

Amazon Prime is available at £8.99 a month, or £95 a year.

Their Prime Video service is available on its own for £5.99 a month.

Really depends on what you want from the service whether it’s worth the extra £3 a month to you.

I've got it purely for the delivery, and consider the video as a bonus.
As a standalone TV app I'd pick Paramount or Netflix first. Prime would be 3rd behind those. I've not looked at Disney, ATV is 4th. YMMV.

Count your deliveries for a quarter or year and add up the estimated delivery charges. Add in your own value for prime tv (it might be 0). There is your answer.

I recently got Disney plus free from Sky for some reason. It is terrible. I spent a while looking at it and couldn't find one single program that appealed to me. Not one. There were a couple of possibilities in the movies section but even there they seemed to have curated a huge library of samey looking straight to video tripe. Oh well, it's free.

My wife has Prime Video. She finds things to watch on. it. I don't think I ever have.

Like anything else that costs money, its only worth it if youre using it.

Mrs D has it. She's a regular Amazon shopper so it more than pays for itself with saved postage costs, and not having a TV licence Im happy to make good use ofmthe streaming service.

If you do neither of these then its not worth it.

We have it

My wife reads a lot - and all on her Kindle
so she goes through a lot of books and the offers she gets from it makes it worthwhile

As we are registered as a family - or something - that means I get it as well

so anything either or us order - we both get whatever advantages there are - including delivery

so check out if other peope might want to share the cost and link your accounts or whatever

We have prime for deliveries and TV, but the latter only occasionally.

Also have Netflix and NOW.
Used to have Disney, which was great for children, but no longer have children living with us

I find the bbci player, itvx, U and other free on demand services really good now.

We also have a Firesticks on our TV's as well. This turns our non smart TVs into smart TVs. You can get all the terrestrial channels via a fire stick and WiFi, so eliminates the need for an Ariel cable in rooms which are not connected to your roof Ariel

Jeff Bezos is an oligarch whose business depends on tax avoidance, monopoly abuse and subverting workers rights; he uses the billions he has extracted from us to bribe the current US regime.

Avoid using anything from Amazon if at all possible.
