Right now, Amazon is offering a $10 credit when you sign up for a free 1 month trial of Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime offers you free 2-day shipping (on items ordered directly from Amazon - things that are normally eligible for free shipping with a $25 purchase). This offer is valid through July 28, 2008 for new Amazon Prime members.
Here's what I did to get my free item:
:: Went to Amazon and made sure I was signed out of my regular Amazon account.
:: Click Here (http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fsubs%2 Fprimeclub%2Fsignup%2Fmain.html%3FprimeCampaignId% 3DTenOff&tag=thecouponcupboard-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325) and signed up for a new account (with a different mailing address) with Amazon Prime (I had to enter a Credit Card number - I used a low-limit card that is currently maxed out, and it still accepted it even though there is no available balance currently). (I verified this by using an American Express Gift Card that only has a $0.42 balance.)
:: In the search bar enter: Rubbermaid FG5153RDBLUE Flex & Seal Rectangle 3.4-Cup Food Storage Container - they are $2.59 each - then be sure to add (4) to your cart. The current deal on these is: This item is eligible for our 4-for-3 promotion. Eligible products include select Books, Single Copy Magazines, and Home & Garden items. Buy any 4 eligible items and get the lowest-priced item free. You'll see the item deducted when go to checkout.
:: At this point I knew I would still have $2.23 left to spend ($10.00 - 10.36 + 2.59) so I added a BusyBone for the dog @ $3.99 - but you don't have to add anything else - you can checkout with the negative balance - MY total came to $1.73 including tax and everything will be delivered by Friday.
:: If you choose to look for something else, make sure you're ordering an item from Amazon - stuff that normally is eligible for free shipping off $25 or more- to get free 2 day shipping. It will show a "Prime" decal under the item description.
:: I went to "Check Out" and clicked 2 day shipping (free with Amazon Prime)
:: On the credit card page, I did not enter a credit card number for my order. Instead, down where you enter a promo or coupon code, there is a box to use your $10 discount. It was already checked, so I clicked "Continue". (I had to enter my credit card only because my total was OVER $10.00)
:: Once I got confirmation that my order was complete, I went to "My Account" at the top right of the page.
:: I scrolled down to "Subscriptions Management" and clicked on "Manage Your Amazon Prime Membership"
:: There was a button with "Turn off Auto Update", and I clicked that.
:: I got this confirmation message, confirming that my membership would not be renewed after the trial: "Your trial membership will not upgrade to a full membership automatically on August 22, 2008" and the button was changed to "Upgrade Automatically".
There you have it! A free item, a free month of Amazon Prime (I plan to get started on my Christmas shopping at the beginning of next month, so the free month of free 2-day shipping will be great!) and easy, one-click cancellation of the auto-renew. DON'T forget to cancel, though! Amazon Prime charges you $79 at the end of your first month if you don't cancel!
