    Prime Day starts now — here’s 49 deals I’d add to my cart this weekend

    Hey @seanmcnamee When I first spotted the deal, Amazon was showing the original price as $299, which seemed like a typo. However, a price checking tool I use called Camelizer was showing $299 as the original price as well. Even if the price may have been inflated, Camelizer was showing that the...

    Massive Best Buy weekend sale just went live — here's the 15 deals I'd buy

    If you look at the Best Buy product page for the Pixel 8a, it lists the price as $399 if you connect your phone to a carrier during the checkout process. You have to choose that option to get the $399 price. Unfort, it looks like the free $100 gift card option has expired.

    LG OLED TV drops to just $599 in epic Super Bowl TV deal

    Hey all, It appears the TV has sold out and is now available only as open box. We've updated our article to explain that. However, I've noticed this TV comes in and out of stock somewhat fast, so I would suggest checking back a day later to see if stock is back. (When stock is back you'll see...

    I just bought my first OLED TV — what I love and hate

    Congrats on your purchase! The Samsung OLED was second on my list, but even on sale it was a tad pricier than the LG C2 (the 65" model). Love my TV now, but I just need to find better (higher-res) content to watch!

    News Prime membership is increasing to $139/year — here's how to avoid the price hike

    During the start of Covid, deliveries were (understandably) slow. However, shipping has been fast for me as of late. It definitely varies based on whether you live in a major city or a more rural area. In NYC, shipments are usually on time/fast.

    News Prime membership is increasing to $139/year — here's how to avoid the price hike

    Did they really? There's nothing in the FAQ that says you can't gift yourself a membership. (I did it back in 2018 when they last increased the price and it worked for me).

    News Prime membership is increasing to $139/year — here's how to avoid the price hike

    Correct! You'll want to end it a day early to avoid Amazon automatically renewing you at the higher price.

    News Prime membership is increasing to $139/year — here's how to avoid the price hike

    I believe you can. The only downside to gifting yourself multiple memberships is that you'll have to pay the entire cost upfront. (Two years will cost you $238 for example).

    11 best Prime member benefits to get the most out of your subscription

    Shipping is without a doubt the biggest benefit I personally use. Some of the discounts at Whole Foods are also pretty good (if you live near a location).

    11 best Prime member benefits to get the most out of your subscription

    Yes, Prime Wardrobe is another unique perk. Haven't personally tried it, but I've purchased some apparel at Amazon and should give it a try. Looks like they rebranded it from Prime Wardrobe to "Prime Try Before You Buy." Agree about the customer support. I've only had good/positive experiences...

    News Why I’m not buying the new iMac 2021

    Agree. I'm sure it'll be the fastest/best iMac ever when tested, but the benefits are simply too small for the price of admission (if you already own an iMac).
