Free 3-month Trial of Amazon Prime by adding book to cart

Just came off my free 1 month trial of Prime on December 21st. Got another 3 months free when purchasing this book : Pride and Prejudice (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0679405429/gotapex0e-20)

A pop-up window asked her to try 3 months free when she went to check out.


1) Instructions:
Click the link in the OP to Pride and Prejudice (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0679405429/gotapex0e-20) (Other books may work...)
Click the Add to Cart with FREE Two-Day shipping button on the right side of the page. if you don't see it(and only see the default "Add to Cart" button only), make sure you are not logged in, you can log out first and go to the 1st step again.If you still don't see this button on your screen, delete your cookies and refresh a few times. (You can also start a Private Browsing session in Firefox that way your normal cookies aren't cleared, but it will act as a fresh browsing session as far as amazon.com is concerned [thats the only way I could get it to show up --elislider])
Click Proceed to checkout button
Log in with your account (May be unnecessary if you are already logged in)
Proceed with checkout process. Trial offer will appear after you select the payment option (i.e Credit Card)
Review the trial offer details, then click Start my free trial
Now your checkout window will confirm that you have PRIME shipping. Just leave this page or click the Amazon.com home page (http://www.amazon.com/ref=ox_spc_footer_homepage?tag=gotapex0e-20) at the bottom

You will then end up at the Place your order page at which point you may leave the page without placing an order and keep your free trial without making a purchase.


2) Works on past expired prime membership accounts If it doesn't, try logging out of your account, clearing "amazon" cookies, and try again. Or alternatively, use a different browser.

3) For all who are getting the following message
"Your application for Amazon Prime membership has been received and is being processed. Your member benefits should be available in a few minutes."
Change your current Prime associated Credit Card to a valid card here
http://www.amazon.com/gp/subs/primeclub/account/handler.html/?action=reselectCreditCard

4) To prevent Amazon Prime from renewing after 3 months, do this:
On amazon.com click Your Account [amazon.com] and Log in
Click Manage Prime Membership link
Click Do not Upgrade button then click Turn off auto-upgrade button on the popup window.

5) Upgrade Prior Orders Not Shipped to Prime Shipping:

If you have open orders not in "Shipping Soon" status, you can make changes to those orders ... and shipping you can update too. So if you have outstanding orders still processing with Super Saver Shipping or paid shipping, just change the order shipping to 2-Day and you order will ship with free Prime. I just did this with an order I placed yesterday.

6) You must have a valid credit/debit card with at least 1 dollar in the account to have this go through If you don't have a valid credit/debit card, or something like a walmart money card with at least a dollar in the account this will NOT work. It will say your prime membership is pending for a little while, but if you sign in later, you'll find it will be gone. A charge of 1 dollar needs to be charged on your valid credit card (probably temporary), and it will show up as AMZ*PRIMESHIPPINGCLUB.

7) While you are preventing the renewal fee.... spread the FREE Amazon prime wealth among your four favorite "family members."

under the "Click Manage Prime Membership link" at the bottom of the page you can send the Amazon Prime membership to four of your "family members"

My free 3-month trial ended last week and tried this method again, but was not successful. It was great while it lasted. Thanks again, AnimEva. Anybody know tricks to make it work again? I wonder if it'll notice if I make a completely new account with all the same personal information....??
