Well, that’s nothing new. The real change is that free no-minimum shipping is no longer available for non-Plus/Elite accounts.

I have Premier and there’s a $35 minimum for free shipping. So is paying for Plus a better deal than earning free Premier?

$20 annually for in-store technology servicesKeep in mind if you order from a Kiosk in store, shipping is free for all orders. You’d have to save $49 in shipping costs to break even, so that’s your benchmark. Also, if you’re already allowed to recycle 20 on your premier status per month, the free shipping is really the only benefit you are getting for your $49.

@mistercheap yeah, I use that a lot but just pointing out that the Premier benefits are not as good as Plus. Got an “oops” email from Rewards saying that we get 5% back in Rewards on everything not 2% as the first email said.
