So now, rather than padding your order to get to a $35 amount, you will need to reach the new $49 amount if you want to score the free Super Saver Shipping.
Of course, if you don’t want to hassle with Super Saver Shipping at all, you can always sign up for a FREE 30-Day Trial of Amazon Prime! You will get FREE 2-Day Shipping on anything that is sold by Amazon.com with no minimum amount required! Now that is really cool and a feature that is SO nice to have when prices start dropping, or you find a lightning deal to grab.
Here is what you do:
- Sign up for Amazon’s 30 Day Trial of Amazon Prime
- Your benefits will start right away!
- If you don’t want to upgrade to a paid membership, you can opt out at any time during the free trial period via the Manage Your Prime Membership page. You will want to make sure you do this, so you aren’t automatically charged $99 for the year’s subscription after the 30-day trial.
As an Amazon Prime Member, you will also get unlimited instant streaming of thousands of movies and TV shows with Prime Instant Videos!
Have you already done your Free Trial??
If you have already done your free trial of Amazon Prime, I would seriously consider doing the Annual Membership for $99. I know it is a hefty price, but for an entire year of FREE Shipping, it is well worth it, especially with the new increase to $49 with the Super Saver Shipping. Think about how much you shop online and if your shipping costs add up fast, or if you spend a lot of time going to the store to grab the deal because you don’t have free shipping, this may be a really good option for you!
PLUS, “ Two adults living in the same household can create an Amazon Household to share certain Amazon Prime benefits. Up to four child profiles (children aren’t enabled to shop on Amazon through their child profiles).” So, that is definitely an added benefit as well!

Does this start immediately?
Heather
Becki, unfortunately yes they have already changed the price.
Jacob
I’m not sure, but thought the shared shipping was reduced down to one other person. Other prime benefits can be shared with other family members but shipping is just one.

My Amazon Prime is expiring in a month. Do you know of any deals now or upcoming for Prime Membership? Thanks.
Heather
I’m not aware of any deals coming up for Amazon Prime memberships, but if I see one I’ll be sure to post it. You could take advantage of their Amazon household program by sharing it with another adult within your household if we don’t see a deal before it expires.
Amber
Also, I just missed the Costco and Sams Club membership deals…..mine expire next month so I would still love to know of any deals there also. Thanks again!
Heather
Oh darn! If another deal for them pops up, I’ll try and get it posted.
Anna
Boo! I remember when the Super saver shipping went from $25 to $35 and that made me upset. Thanks for the heads up, though! I would have hated to discover this that hard way, by trying to buy $35 worth of stuff and not be able to get the free shipping.

Thanks Melea for letting us know, that is a real bummer.
