    Default Amazon Prime & Lovefilm (Soon to be Amazon Prime Instant)

    In 5 days time Amazon are re-branding Lovefilm Instant to Amazon Prime Instant just as they do in the states.
    they are also offering the same service to Prime members where you get it as part of your Amazon Prime subscription.

    Currently it is £49 a year but this is set to rise in 5 days time to £79

    So, if you sign up now you will save £30 and get Amazon Prime (Next Day delivery for free and Sunday delivery in some areas), Kindle Lending Library, Discounts on baby stuff as well as the Lovefilm service.

    I've been using Prime 'free trials' on various accounts and really rate it for next day delivery especially now that Amazon do charge for some items under £10 (No Super Saver on some items unless you spend over the £10).

    Probably won't appeal to most and for those who have a subscription ending soon you will be annoyed of the increase unless you opt for pay monthly, which does not give you the video option.

    Magic! I let my trial lapse but then realised I use Amazon so much its worth it. This just evens it out with the USA deal. Thanks

    Just to confirm it is the 26th February this starts. So I am holding off until the 25th to buy it (to get those few days extra).
    You can then cancel the automatic membership renewal so that it does not renew next year - it is already quoting the £79 fee, unless you want to continue with it but by then the wife's account will be ready for another trial

    It was always disgusting that the US members got it and the UK members didn't.

    That's absolute bollocks - I paid £79 for a dual Prime / Lovefilm membership anyway so technically if they're upgrading standard Prime members then they should also be reimbursing the people who paid full whack.

    Fingers crossed as I could use the cash for nappies right now!!

    Glad we'll be getting the same benefits as the folks in the US finally though - that's a long awaited bonus.

    That is brilliant news. I've been a prime user for 2 years now and cant fault it. Wonder if I can add another year to my existing membership at the £49 price.

    Check out your account and find out when your renewal is due. You will get the service in 5 days time, but your next renewal is going to be £79 if it is not due in the next few days.

    This is good news.

    Just interested how built in Lovefilm apps will handle this AND how many family members I can share this with.

    The apps are to be rebranded but should act the same.
    I had it on my TV, Xbox and iPhone before. I am sure you are limited to x devices so sharing with Family etc should not be a problem.

    *Edit*

    So from the T&C's you can register as many devices as you wish, but you can only stream to 3 at a time.

    As much as I hate giving Amazon my money it is necessary in many cases due to price and the fact I have to compete with other suppliers with much greater buying power than me when supplying a printer etc. Amazons prices allow me to compete and often get a new customer for life.

    If you have Amazon prime you were (possibly still are?) able to add up to 5 friends/family to the account even at different addresses so I paid £10 and have Amazon Prime for a year, now I have this too which makes it a sweet deal. Might be worth members here clubbing together and splitting the cost of prime between 5 of you

    We have suggested this to family member but they are as tight as crabs arseholes and want to utilise it for free.
    We told them to ......

    The classic comment from them was:
    "We use Amazon all the time for all sorts of stuff we don't need, waste loads of cash on there"

    Followed (by them again) with:

    "Oh we can't afford to chip in for the £50 - We will just use yours"

    ?????!!!!?!?!????!?!?!?


    But good idea though and worth mentioning and I know it works as a girl in the office does the very same.

    Mine says this.
    On 30 Apr 2014, you will be charged £49 for another year of Prime. Starting 30 Apr 2015, you will be charged £79 per year.

    Shall i just leave it alone...?

    I would, clearly looking after current customers because they have already quoted that price.
    You will get the service on the 26th going by their website.

    If you sign up today though you will be charged £49.99 but the renewal quote next Feb is £79.99

    Active Amazon Prime + LOVEFiLM Instant members (with a 30-day trial or paid membership) will have their memberships automatically changed to an Amazon Prime membership on 26 February. This is the date when Prime Instant Video will become available. You'll receive a £30 refund for your current membership and an e-mail confirmation of the refund

    That makes me happier now - bonus

    Thanks to reverend
