We don’t have official confirmation yet, but it’s more or less clear that starting this Friday, Amazon will offer an annual Prime membership for just $68 instead of the regular $99.

This was first reported on aftvnews based on prior year’s experience that Amazon has offered a discount after winning Emmy awards. It’s also been confirmed by an Amazon rep to a Slickdeals member who was told the deal will last 3-5 days. I called up customer service and the rep didn’t want to commit to anything since it’s not official, but told me to be on the lookout for a deal.
The big question is whether they’ll offer this deal for existing Prime members and for Prime Gifting. They used to allow this, but the most recent time they only allowed new members and no gifts.
In any case, if you’re Prime membership is about to renew, it’s probably worth waiting a few days. Even if the fee already hit recently, you can still get a refund if you haven’t yet used any Prime benefits.Â
We’ll post the official link when it goes live.
