Amazon Prime requires a full year payment (at $79/year, or $6.58/month, this is a pretty good deal, as of course it also includes free 2 day shipping on amazon items), and their terms and conditions state: "You are not entitled to any refund if you cancel after you or your invitees have made any eligible purchases or after you have taken advantage of any Prime benefits." But this makes me think that the ones with the real grounds for complaint would be those who signed up for Prime in order to have access to a television series which Prime soon after lost access to an exclusive deal with another provider. I have actually found Amazon to be more than reasonable about any disputed purchase over the years - I think there is a good bet that in such an event if someone made this case to them they would refund at least the pro-rated portion of the Prime fee. > On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 3:43 PM, PGage <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 2:35 PM, Trevor Tymchuk <[email protected]>wrote: >> >>> Exactly.
