i miss the days when cancelling a subscription would just stop it charging you but you keep the service until you would have to pay

    I miss when Amazon prime would refund you the remainder of the month when you cancelled… I have no interest in being a prime member and actively avoid buying anything from Amazon. But sometimes I need something I can’t find locally ASAP and giving them a quarter or two to have prime for a day was a solid option.

      Yeah doing that sounds like a stupid business practice exactly because of what you’ve described

        Paying $15 a month for “free” shipping which is also included in the price point of the products sounds like a stupid practice too. Lots of people doing it though.
