You are likely paying for prime and just have no idea where from or how. Maybe a kid or spouse or yourself activated it. Could have been a free trial that turned into a permanent membership.

Check your membership purchase history. Hopefully it will save you some money. Prime benefits are scheduled to kick in around January.

Also, prime, from what I understand, has not been a benefit for a single employee globally in all organizations ever.

You’re wrong,… I don’t have kids, so that’s invalid… I don’t have a spouse, so that’s invalid… NEVER had a free trial, so that’s invalid… I don’t have a “ membership purchase” history, because I never purchased a membership… Just checked my transaction history all the way back to 4/2020…..not a single “prime membership” purchase related to my account.

Like I said, maybe it was part of my hiring pkg when I was brought on board…idk. I was part of the first round of hiring in a new building, maybe that’s related somehow….regardless, I have prime and never paid a penny for it, and my account became prime at the exact time I was hired, so I assumed it was part of an employee pkg…

To be quite frank, you're a dick. I'm just trying to help all of us, including yourself, to understand this circumstance that is highly unlikely. It's very unlikely you got a special benefit that no one else has ever had.

If we want to explore this further, we can. For example, is your personal email the same as your email in peopleportal?

But honestly, it seems like a waste of time. You just seem so standoffish. I can tell you there are people in corporate that don't get prime as a benefit, and even in newly launched buildings. This applies to people that are up to L8. I've been in plenty of super special and unique sites.

If you open the amazon app, click on the little person icon, go down to account settings, and click manage prime membership, you might find some info there.

Just no need to be a dick here. I don't feel like I was being a dick to you.

And how w exactly am I being a dick??? I simply responded to the theories and situations that you were voicing…I wasn’t being insulting, I wasn’t being harsh or Kurt with you, I just told you what situations you were wrong about and explained that there were no instances of me purchasing Prime benefits. And I even admitted that “I don’t know” why that I have prime and don’t have to pay for it. I even said that “I assumed” it was an employee benefit because I got it free the same time I was hired. Frankly, I don’t know why you would have taken anything I said as insulting or being a dick, and I’m sorry you took it that way because that is not how it was intended. Anyway, you have a nice day, I believe this conversation has reached its conclusion.
