Lisa told me all about a new program that Amazon is offering called Amazon Mom
Plus, when you sign up for the program, you get 3 months free Amazon Prime service. And each $25 you spend earns you an additional month. And (there's more), when you subscribe through the program, you get an additional discount. Some things are discounted more than others -- diapers seems to give you great discounts.
We'll see how well it works out.
So, Netflix has hiked their price and made lots of happy subscribers unhappy. I have primarily used Netflix for their streaming service for the kids, but there have been enough things they wanted to watch that were only on DVD that I thought it was worth the extra two bucks. Not eight though. We'll be cancelling that part just prior to the September 1 change.
Of course, there has been some commotion about the big increase and I came across the "Netflix alternatives" list today. Most of the list was not very comparable, but I noticed that Amazon was listed. I checked out Amazon Prime Streaming Video
It will take a Wii app and mobile device support before I'll switch, but I see the change coming. Also, I'd like to be able to pay monthly instead of annually, but we'll see what happens.
