You can cancel at anytime and get the full 30 days. All you have to do is register a new email address with the same credit card number when the 30 days are up. Plus they give you an extra $10 each time you create an account if you order something through your phone app.




I really hope I'm never in such a dire financial position that I would consider going through all that shite to save less than $10 a month.

This sounds like something a poor person would do. What is it, $100 a year?

I also cancel my XM radio subscription to get the bottom dollar rate every 6 to 12 months.


God damn, you spend more time creating new emails, canceling Amazon, re-starting amazon, same with XM than any of it is worth. I'm going to assume you do the same with both cable and phone too.

Have you contacted them? They will probably hook you up with some free months.

6 for a year. They give you an extra month when you try to cancel.

Congratulations!!!

You’ve won the “trashiest thread on the OT” award.

A pair of cutoff jorts, some fake Oakley’s, a tapout shirt, and salt life sticker will be mailed to your double wide by the end of the week.

Congratulations again!

I do that too, anyone who doesn't is being dumb. But that's making 1-2 calls per year, versus creating a new email address, entering billing info, etc every 30 days.


Creating a new email address takes 1 minute on Google. A lot less of a hassle than XM Radio and having to jue them down.

So you create roughly 12 new emails per year, every year?

That seems like a lot of effort for a $100.


But not a lot of effort when it's $119.


So that $19 really pushed the whole time value of money into your favor.

No. I don't need something within 2 days every month. Just every so often.

I'd love to see your expenses. I promise there is some waste in there way above the $100 you are "saving" that could probably save you a lot more money.
