One thing I noticed about Amazon Prime is many of the videos on their service you have to buy on an episode by episode basis or an entire season basis, so not only do you have to pay once for Prime but once you pay you have to pay again to get some content.

I have Amazon Prime on my Samsung big screen smart TV. Does anyone know if my 5 year old gets a hold of the remote can he just buy episodes at the press of a button or is their some PIN that has to be entered first? I have a large banked Amazon gift card balance on my account but I would rather not use it up by having my son buy shows without my knowledge at the press of a button.

You can set a pin when using Fire Stick or Fire TV, but I don’t know how it will work on your Samsung. I’m assuming you will still have to go a few pages, like 3, to finalize the purchase.

I called up Amazon one more time just to make sure what the first rep told me was correct about not being able to set a PIN for video purchases and sure enough the first rep was wrong. The second rep I called transferred me to the Amazon Video department and there was an easy way to set a 5 digit password onto my account to prevent unauthorized purchases. The rep told me that when he chooses free content that is included with my Amazon Prime membership it won’t ask for a PIN. The PIN will only be required for content that costs additional money. That gives me some peace of mind. Now I can let my son use the remote again.

@mrvietnam said in Free Hertz Gold Plus Rewards President Circle Status:

I am a little unclear. Once logged into the website where do you find the CDP section? Also, what special benefits does the President Circle status provide? Does it last a year and then expire or is it good indefinitely?

I figured it out. You click on “My Account” rom the top right and then you click on “Edit” Personal Details and at the bottom of that section there is a place to enter the CDP code. After I entered the code it said “LH Senator”. I wonder what that means. It still shows me as a Gold Plus member though and no where does it mention I belong to the President Circle.

My membership doesn’t expire until next year. Can some one figured how to add another year? I can’t find a way to do it.

I don’t know if you can do that. Why don’t you just cancel for a short time and then resign up under this offer?

Too late for me but I noticed you can also get $15 cashback in the form of an Amazon gift card when you sign up for Prime through topcashback.com:

Amazon Prime

Excludes: Existing Prime Members, Amazon Student

There is also a $3 October bonus offered when you spend $10 of more at topcashback.com (offer must be activated before your purchase)

@my4mainecoons said in $35MM Zyrtec at Rite Aid on Sat. 10-14, FnF day 30% off:

2000PP wyb $75 Allergy (year long, unlimited)

Is this something I need to activate beforehand or is it automatically on my Plenti account? If I need to activate it, how do I do it?

Also, does the 30% off coupon have a unique barcode or can I just print out how many I need?

Are you sure when I redeem a $7 cat I will get another one in the same order?

Good luck on finding enough stock.

I just subscribed to the $99 Amazon Prime, but they charged me $106.67. Bummer. I guess they charge sales tax on Prime memberships now. I am in California, but still only $56.67 after the $50 in Membership Rewards points, or about 15.5 cents a day. Upon further research I found out the following:

About Sales Tax on Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime is subject to tax in the following (31 of the 50 states):

Alabama
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
District of Columbia
Florida (Communications Services Tax only)
Hawaii
Idaho
Iowa
Kentucky
Michigan
Mississippi
Missouri
Nebraska
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
North Carolina
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Vermont
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming

Great find. I was planning to wait until Black Friday when there is often a $20 discount given for a new Prime membership, but this $50 back in Membership Rewards points deal is much better. A year of two day shipping so I can work down my large Amazon banked gift card credit balance and the Prime video content for my Samsung big screen. Not to mention the free music I can play over my Amazon Echo. Wahoo!

At Target in-store only: 3 box pack Capri Sun (30 ct) Value Pack for $1.79 each. That makes each pouch only 6 cents. The ones I bought today don’t expire until mid-July next year (2018).

Idea: Hand out at Halloween in lieu of candy

203160092 (Strawberry Kiwi) & 203160093 (Fruit Punch)

You might want to call first just to see if they are in stock as many stores are sold out now, One of my local Target stores had 8 30 ct packs of Strawberry Kiwi, so I bought them all and I got a raincheck for 8 Fruit Punch 30 ct packs when they get back in stock, The raincheck is good until 11/23/17.

This is an in-store only deal. The .com price is $6.19 for a 30 ct pack.
