I'd pay $8 / month just for the non-shipping benefits, especially Prime Video. The fact that I also get free two day shipping is awesome.

My big pet peeve are add-on items. I don't understand why they don't just give me the option to pay for shipping. I don't mind paying $10 shipping on a $1 item. It's still cheaper than driving to a store.

I haven't tried this myself (maybe it doesn't work) but why not just order a physical $25 Amazon gift card (like https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-com-Amount-Amazon-Shipping-Bir... ) and then the addon will ship with it for free.

Edit: Just tried it, didn't work. Khaaaaaaaaaan!
