Initial Question: I currently have Amazon Prime. I hear that today Amazon Prime is available for purchase at the discounted price of $73. I would like to take advantage of that to purchase Prime as a gift for someone. How do I do that? It is appearing in my cart at regular price.

Hi! I am so sorry to hear that, Kevin! I will be happy to take a look!

well thats a bummer
guess they caught on
If that's really Costco's business model, they must rely heavily on most (or at least very many) members not using their shopping "privileges" very much, and having higher online than in-store prices, or at least limited inventory available on-line? (Otherwise it just doesn't make any rational sense.) Since Amazon's entire presence is online, they couldn't do something like that and it's a lot easier to shop online than drag your butt to a brick & mortar store. I guess they could achieve a similar result by charging a (much) higher fee, but I really can't imagine many, if anyone, would be willing to pay a fee high enough to balance out those other factors.Wonder if Amazon has considered the Costco model. Selling things at almost at cost and making a profit through Prime membership.
Like Amazon but since they started taxing here, I have used them far less, also how in the world is a purchase of Amazon prime taxed? To me that should be tax free.

The word is out about you... ordering one peanut at a time instead of the full packet. That's why they make you wait 3 days. It's all about the peanuts.Now that they push prime so hard, you can tell they purposely hold back shipping. What used to process same day or within a day or 2, now takes 3 days minimum. I won't be contributing.
