A year of Prime usually costs $99, but it’ll be just $79 this Friday.
Note, this deal is for new members only. I don’t know how it will play out for someone who was previously a Prime member and their membership expired. They might be able to get this deal as well.

Our Verdict
Amazon in coinciding this deal with the release of “The Grand Tour,” Amazon’s new blockbuster Jeremy Clarkson show, as they try pushing their streaming service as a real selling point to Prime, aside from the free 2-day shipping and other Prime benefits like Prime Music and Prime Reading.
Bear in mind that Amazon also offers a free 30-day trial so if you just want it for the holiday season that might work for you without costing a dime if you’ve never done it before.
Also, Amazon offers a monthly subscription plan for $10.99 per month which especially makes sense for times like the holiday season if you expect to make use of their free 2-day shipping during this season.
We’ll repost this on Friday as a reminder, but it’s worth the heads up for someone who is on the fence to buy a Prime membership now.
just tried using the link. it took me to my prime page but no mention of renewal.
Not sure if it’ll work but last year I was able to go on live chat and get a friendly rep to cancel my membership and prorate a refund and then allow me to buy a year at the discount price. I’m going to hold off and read data points from Slickdeals that morning as I’m sure there’s going to be several people who try.
NEW MEMBERSHIPS ONLY – existing members cannot renew at this price.
