Amazon.com states that I qualify for Amazon Prime, what IS Amazon Prime?

Amazon Prime is a membership program with the key privilege being that you get free two day shipping on almost all items sold by Amazon itself. You can read all the details and terms on Amazon’s Prime FAQ. The service costs $79 per year, but you have probably been offered a free month-long trial.

I’ve used the free trial in the past. Since the month starts from the day you sign up for it, and not the day of your first purchase, I’d suggest that you don’t sign up for Prime until you’re ready to make a purchase. And if you’re planning to make additional purchases in a relatively short period of time even better.

If you choose not to continue with the paid service after the trial expires, be sure to cancel it before the expiration date otherwise you will be billed for a whole year’s service.
