its dropping the price for Amazon Prime to just $67 in a one-day sale starting on Friday, September 25th at 12:01 AM ET, and ending at 11:59 PM PT.

The company says the sale will last for only 24 hours, as it’s a limited time offer.

Why $67, you ask?

The figure is in reference to Amazon’s five Emmy wins at this year’s 67th PrimeTime Emmy Awards, the company says – and this is its way of celebrating.

Amazon’s Original Series “Transparent” saw its star Jeffrey Tambor taking home the trophy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, while “Transparent” creator Jill Soloway won for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series. The show, which focuses on a father coming out as transgender to his family, is the second Amazon program to win an Emmy. However, the first was a Daytime Emmy win for “Tumble Leaf,” which scored five trophies, including Outstanding Preschool Children’s Animated Program.

So get Amazon Prime for $67 on Friday only for 24 hrs. Black Friday is coming up, did last years Amazon Black Friday have some good stuff ?

Damn, why is this on N3DS Launch day? Muh wallet...

 

[Loxley]

I'm...going to have to jump on that.

 

[E the Shaggy]

I will be picking up an Amazon Prime Membership then!

 

[kingkitty]

i actually had to renew my prime account soon

nice

 

[Effect]

I'm on a prime trial now. It ends on the 28th so I wonder if I can just canceled the trial and then just buy this. With how many games are coming up I might finally be able to take advantage of this and the $99 price was always a deal breaker for me.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Can I stack this if I already have Prime?

 

[Spacebar]

Any chance Amazon refunds me the difference? I've had prime a long time and just renewed last week for a 100$

Edit: never mind only new members...lame

 

[snake fish]

The deal ive been waiting for does anyone know if I can purchase more than one and use it when my subscription ends.

 

[Illusive_Juan]

Don't get too excited just yet.

The limited-time offer is only available to new members.

[KirbYuuYuu]

Should be 67 period.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Why not 5 dollars to represent your 5 emmy wins. Huh Amazon.

If you can extend a membership then... Neat. Will do.

 

[Dan]

^ I'm 99.9% sure Amazon has no method of extending your membership. It's renew at the expiration date or nothing.

I wonder if I can cancel and then buy back in at Friday's rate.

 

[kamakazi5]

Slightly related but does anyone know if I can stack multiple years of prime with the student discount?

 

[SliceSabre]

I'm certainly tempted now.

 

[alba]

Got excited for nothing if it's only new members.

 

[Walpurgis]

Just tell them you're a student. They don't check.

 

[cthoaa]

Technically, this special discount is only valid for new members, but if you are already signed up you can still buy a gift subscription and email it to yourself. Then you have to cancel auto-renew on your existing Prime membership and wait for it to expire, so you can then use the $67 gift code for another year of Amazon Prime

So let's say I had a prime membership but stopped using it about a year ago. Will this method work?

 

[Armadilo]

Mods add "for new members" in the title

That's a load of farting bullcorn.

 

[sixteen-bit]

tempted, but honestly I'm not thrilled at the idea of paying money for the privilege of buying things
(referencing amzn's "prime-only" items, yuck)

 

[Raistlin]

Should be 67 period.

Amazon should go out of business for your benefit

 

[Fox318]

meanwhile I just reupped for 100.

 

[Flip4k]

Only new member!?

 

[brotherbean]

Damn, good deal. I signed up for the trial about a year ago but cancelled before it switched over to the full membership, will that keep me from getting in?

 

[Servbot24]

Damn, why is this on N3DS Launch day? Muh wallet...

Aren't you the one who had to get a bunch of financial advice in another thread about needless spending? ;P

 

[OmegaSkittle]

Haven't had Prime for a few years. I wonder if I would be considered a "new member"

 

[NeoFaff]

Give someone in college $5 to use their edu email for 3 years of $50 prime.

 

[Storm Chamber]

Exclusively for Prime Members
This item at $42.99 is reserved for Prime members.

No Amazon, I'm quite done.

 

[Bare Grills]

pretty good deal but i got that student discount.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

I think it may be time to jump back on Prime. Specially with the holidays coming up. Om nom nom nom.

 

[Darth Karja]

Damn, good deal. I signed up for the trial about a year ago but cancelled before it switched over to the full membership, will that keep me from getting in?

I would like to know too.

 

[Fjordson]

I assume the price goes back up after your first year?

 

[The Iron Yuppie]

I'm gonna strongly consider paying up.

 

[Ermac]

New as in never signed up for Prime? Or did in the past and don't have it now?

 

[kingkitty]

Don't get too excited just yet.

fuck you amazon

 

[Persona7]

What are prime-only items? Do you mean the sales?

How do you feel about costcos membership where you pay to purchase items?

 

[TheAbsolution]

Aren't you the one who had to get a bunch of financial advice in another thread about needless spending? ;P

Don't wake him up.

 

[Damaniel]

Worth it at full price, and a steal at $67. It's a shame that I can't renew at that price, but oh well.

 

[backflip10019]

I might bite on this. Is Amazon's streaming lineup as good/better than Netflix's?

 

[goldenpp72]

My account expires on the 27th, can I use this option somehow?

 

[E the Shaggy]

Having gotten a trial membership won't affect this will it? I've never had a full blown membership before.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

So let's say I had a prime membership but stopped using it about a year ago. Will this method work?

I would need to know this too.

No.

Give someone in college $5 to use their edu email for 3 years of $50 prime.

Actually thought this could work a while back, but my ex-roomie can attest that they somehow cracked down on it. YMMV on that one.

 

[x24hrs2livex]

Is a Prime membership still needed for Amazon Instant Video? I'd love to sub to that service but I never saw a monthly payment option and dont want to kick out $67 or $100 for a sub.

 

[neogaffer1]

i'm in college and i have three different edu accounts for this shit

one for my college, one for the one i took summer classes at, and one for the community college i took classes at in high school

 

[slick7rick]

Meh. Now that everybody can price match Amazon, I don't see the point. I used to buy almost everything from there but now I only go online to PM them, lol. Same price and I don't have to wait a few days.
