So it went from $25 to $35 to $49. The way they are pushing prime I'm not sure it's going to stop at $49.
For those who don't know, Prime members can get the Amazon Store Card (not to be confused with the Amazon Credit Card). When you buy using the store card you get 5% off your purchases in the form of a monthly credit (towards future amazon purchases). If you are savvy and rig your purchases into the 15% off subscription category then you effectively get 20% off your purchases. There are some caveats in the fine print about using the store card compared to the credit card. For example, you don't get 5% off your prime membership fee billed to the store card, but you do get whatever perks come with paying for prime membership fee if using the amazon credit card. If you choose to have both you can choose which account you pay for what.
Right now if you get approved for the store card they also give you a $20 instant credit.
