Greed.
Looking at the other posts, it feels like us Americans are the 1%ers. We are being forced to pay a huge amount so that other places get it cheap and they can get a strong foothold there. Soon those prices will likely increase as well.
I thought about cancelling hearing this, but then remembered my amazon prime credit card. Not sure. You get 5% back if you are a prime member. Only 3% back if not. So doing math, it looks like if I spend $6,000 or more on Amazon in a year, I will break even with that card alone.
So do I spend $6,000.00 and roughly 2 day shipping worth it? I say roughly, cause I swear I haven't gotten 2 day shipping in forever. Feels like its been 3 minimum always. I ordered something Sunday, it arrived Wednesday. How is that two day shipping. I rarely ever watch any prime videos, and don't 'listen to amazon music.
Edit: Quick research and even counting a big ticket item in 2017, I spent less than 2 grand. I know I spend more in 2016, cause I purchased an item that cost like 3,500.00 but beyond a huge ticket item here or there, it looks like I spend less than 1000 per year. I should probably set my account up to no auto renew next Jan or whenever it is.
