Changes to Amazon Mom

Just got this email today from Amazon Mom.

If you’re already an Amazon Mom member then you would have received it too.

There are major changes to the program that we all love.

Sadly, it was good while it lasted.

There won’t be a 30% discount anymore or free benefits up to a year.

And there’s a waiting list for new members.

Check this out:

• Starting on January 24, 2012, the maximum discount available on diapers and wipes subscriptions will be 20%. This includes a 5% Subscribe & Save discount plus an additional 15% exclusively for Amazon Mom members who are earning free shipping benefits or have an active Amazon Prime membership. (The program originally offered 30% discount on diapers and wipe subscriptions.)
• Customers who join Amazon Mom in 2012 will get three months of FREE Two-Day Shipping benefits.  (Original members could receive up to a year of Amazon Prime benefits.)

To continue receiving the Amazon Mom diapers and wipes discount once your free shipping benefits end, you can join Amazon Prime for $79/year. As a Prime member you’ll receive:

• 20% off diapers and wipes subscriptions with Amazon Mom and Subscribe & Save.
• FREE Two-Day Shipping on millions of items.
• Unlimited instant streaming of thousands of videos with a wide range of content for the whole family, including Sesame Street and Phineas and Ferb.
• A Kindle book to borrow for free each month from the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library.
• Membership sharing benefits: invite up to four household members to share your shipping benefits for free.

If you’re already an Amazon Mom member, then you will continue receiving free 2-day shipping until your year is up, as long as you buy the minimum amount that was required to extend your membership up to a year.

Waiting List

I also saw a waiting list for Amazon Mom. Wow! I don’t know if they will open it up on Jan. 24 or not. We’ll see.

I love Amazon Mom and the free 2-day shipping. I might join Amazon Prime when my year is up. I was always curious about Amazon Prime, but now I see how much I use it.

I seem to buy things from Amazon every month and I love the convenience.

What do you think?
