I bought my grandparents an iPad. How generous yes? On the contrary, it was actually completely selfish. The reason was so that when I visited them, I didn’t spend the afternoon installing Windows updates, Java or Flash or showing them how to do something simple on their computer …
The iPad has proven a great benefit … until … now …
Increasingly, many people are unintentionally signing up for Amazon Prime thanks to Amazons misleading order process. As a consequence, much of my free / social time as a tech savvy computer user / website guru is now spent trying to log into other peoples accounts for them and cancelling Amazon Prime. This process is too difficult for most people. If it wasn’t I wouldn’t KEEP being asked by people with a phone to cancel their Prime membership – again …
When placing an order with Amazon, the ‘continue’ button starts the Prime trial. Cancelling Prime is a 3 to 5 stage event! You think you’ve cancelled but when you look more closely you notice it’s a sales page asking if you’re really really sure. The following page asks if you’re really really really extra sure …
There are occasions when Amazon users genuinely want a 7 day or 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime.
Members of GoProdMe can get advance reminders to cancel Prime – and a video of how to do it (updated daily – private joke there).
Share Your Amazon Prime Benefits
Free trial or paid Amazon Prime members can share certain Amazon Prime benefits with one other adult by forming an Amazon Household.
Amazon.co.uk
If someone in your household has Amazon Prime, Amazon ‘should’ automatically share the benefits with them. After all, Amazon know you live in the same house from your credit card billing address. But instead, Amazon don’t explicitly inform / remind the Prime account holder. Instead Amazon try to sell Prime to other members of your household!
GoProdMe automatically detects if you’ve been sold something twice or unnecessarily.
