More importantly, why does no one realize that I can get pushpins for $2.22 shipped and in walmart i would need to spend at least $32.78 more to get it shipped for free?

Most cheap products under $10 on Amazon are add-ons, pushpins are an exception, not the rule.

All those loopholes will soon be closed. They are allowing it for the purpose of getting people accustomed to using voice shopping. They can’t have Alexa respond “sorry, you need to add more items in order to check out”, because that would defeat the purpose of instant voice shopping. What they probably will do is make that Alexa “can’t find” add on items.

Do I have to work for them?

It’s pretty obvious that they don’t want you ordering these items without buying more stuff. That’s why they are called add-on items.

I’m really curious what g25ppaoh is.
Is that the new UPS method?

Email I got now

The price of the annual Prime membership increased from $99 to $119 on May 11, 2018. Your renewal on June 17, 2018 will be at $99. The new price will apply to your renewals starting June 17, 2019.

My prime is renewing tomorrow at $99, and then at $119 next year (though I had previously bought a prime, so either I will refund that, or use it to extend me in 2019... TBD).

I wonder what the official cutoff is for prime renewals at the old rate.
