AmazonAt Insider Picks, we are big fans of Amazon Prime. It is arguably the best values out there for online shoppers looking to get the most for their dollar.
We’ve written about all the perks that come with a Prime membership before, mentioning the well known (free two-day shipping, early access to exclusive deals) and the lesser known (Prime Video, Prime Pantry, unlimited photo storage).
If you already have a membership, you already know how great the service is, but for those who've never signed up for Amazon Prime, today is probably the best day of the year to start your free trial.
For anyone who's new to the service, Amazon Prime offers a 30-day free trial, and by signing up today you would be optimizing what you get out of those 30 days. Holiday shopping is fast approaching (for some, it has already started), and Amazon will have some of the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals out there — on everything.
By activating your free trial before Friday, November 25, you’ll get early access to Black Friday deals, as well as free two-day shipping on all of the Prime-eligible purchases you make.
Arguably more importantly, starting your free trial now means you’ll still have Prime well into December. And, trust me, free two-day shipping is a godsend when you realize at the last second that there are a few people in your life that you completely spaced on getting gifts for (sorry, Mom!).
After your free trial, you either continue to be a Prime member by paying a monthly or yearly fee, or opt out and wait until next holiday season to get back into the service.
While the free trial is only available to those who haven’t taken advantage of the offer before, thanks to Prime now offering monthly memberships, non-members who have already used up their free trial can sign up at this advantageous time for just $9.99.
