I think so, but I buy a lot from Amazon, and the $79 is definitely more than covered by all the free shipping I get. I like the streaming stuff, too.

It is to me - I buy stuff from Amazon a lot, and like @FutureMrsMcK said, you can stream movies and tv shows, too. Plus (if you own a Kindle) you get access to the Kindle Owners Lending Library which has all the Harry Potter books and Hunger Games (plus tons more, of course)

I didn't. My ended right as my schooling ended so no more needing it to buy books or electronics for my laptop anymore.
But if you do still constantly shop there then: heck yeah renew. I loved it when I had it (for 3 years!)

I think it's totally worth it! I got it for free for being a student and I thought that there was a amazon mom that gave it for free also... I buy so much of amazon and I love the free two day shipping!

I buy almost everything on amazon so it was worth it for me! Now that I have a 6 week old it is so much easier to have things sent to the house rather than go to the store and the 2 day shipping is great, plus the kindle lending library. I buy cleaning supplies, beauty supplies, baby gear, car stuff, occasionally food. They can be good for buying bulk too. I bought tons of papaya extract for heartburn when I was pregnant and kept a bottle in my car, in my purse, and bottles scattered all over the house.

Mine is set to end in a couple weeks and we are going to go ahead and pay for it. We have a netflix account already but have found several things that Amazon will stream for free with prime that netflix only has in DVD (we only have streaming). Plus we buy a lot of non-baby stuff from Amazon so the shipping we would have ended up paying will be more than the prime membership. Plus I have a kindle so I am looking forward to the free book a month.

I was skeptical at first but after my free trial ended, I realized that I really liked the free 2 day shipping. Plus I buy a lot of stuff from there so I think it is worth it. To echo a previous poster, people have told us that it is fantastic for buying diapers.

When my student membership ended I received an email from Amazon promoting a discount to renew as a regular Prime member. I think I paid $35 or so. It might be worth a phone call to them, asking if there are any discounts/promotions available.

@Meggo5: ooooh I'm jealous! That's a great deal!

For me it's worth it, but I'm an amazon addict.

@meggo5 how do you get a student membership? i wonder if they do any discounted memberships?

@duckduckkristen: quick question for you... what kind/brand of papaya extract do you buy? I have horrible heartburn and was told this was a good cure...

@heartsnsunshine: Nature's Bounty

Totally worth it...I order everything off Amazon and love that I get free 2 day with Prime!

It sounds awesome. I have the Kindle App on my iPad and the one-click ordering is so bad...but soooo good. I think it sounds like something I'm going to look into!

I looked into this but found I did better using diapers.com and their family of websites. I always have an order that's over $50 and I haven't paid for shipping there ever.

It is to me! I love getting stuff in 2 days.LOL I buy so much baby stuff, for cheaper at that, that I don't even go to the store to buy her stuff, it a;; just comes to the house.LOL
