  • How to sign up for Prime.... really?!
  • Gotta keep the lights on. From their disclosure policy link: Some companies operate affiliate programs, meaning if you purchase the product or service by following a link on our site we could receive a commission
  • I agree. That's the only reason I can think of. Amazon shoves Prime down your throat constantly. I don't know how anyone could miss it. Not picking on Prime, though. I have it and love it.
  • Only Americans could be convinced that they need to spend $99/year whether they need to or not!
    No wonder we have a political zoo in this country.
  • But how ?
  • Huh? The article just showed you. If you want to keep it permanently, don't cancel and it will automatically charge you 99 bucks for a year.
  • Are you ******* kidding me? This, plus ads? Protip: Just ditch 'Mobile Dad' Or whatever BS that genius is working on.
  • Price for prime " 7.5 -$99" ? Wtf
  • $7.5 is for India.
  • How do I sign up for AC?
  • Hand them your credit card and I am sure they will show you.
  • Signing up for Prime: Simply click almost any button or link on the Amazon web site and you will get a strange $99 charge on your next credit card bill.
  • Really AC? Even for you guys this hits a new low. Next they will be giving instructions on how people can mail Android Central a $100 for giving instructions on how to put a stamp on a envelope and open the mail box door. Wait! But there is more! Order today and you will receive free shipping on your Prime Video Streaming service!
