Renewing Prime without ads?

[CopperBolt]

Im thinking of renewing prime to watch Fallout. Had a look last night and it just offers me two options £8.99 a month or £95 a year for prime with ads.


How do I get the ad free version? Do I have to get the £8.99 and then upgrade that? Don't want to spend the £8.99 to then find for some reason I cant go without ads.

Thanks

I think it's just an additional £2.99 a month. I pay that on top of the annual charge. I wasn't going to because it is robbery, but the way they crash into shows that weren't built around ads is awful. I didn't get through one episode without caving.

Ad free Prime video is a separate thing to the Prime membership, you have to do it through the website (not the app) https://www.primevideo.com/help?nodeId=TD5EYJIUGQM...

Indeed this is why I jacked it all in when they first started ads.

I've not paid for ad free, and I've yet to see an ad in Prime Video, I wonder if they're targeted to various users?

I’ve had them during Clarkson’s Farm, really bloody annoying despite most of them only lasting 15s or so. I rarely watch stuff on Amazon now so whilst I initially signed up to the extra 2.99 I cancelled it shortly after.

Watched a film last night and the most memorable thing about it was 3 or 4 advert breaks which were really annoying! Bearing in mind I've only watched a few things that I really enjoyed, Fallot being one, I'm seriously considering cancelling it!

I only got it when they showed a few Premier League matches around Christmas, and have only kept it really because of the free delivery aspect, and I've been buying bits and bobs for my flat!

Might give Netflix a go for a while instead, even though I think they've got adds as well! Cherry pick the good bits, then bin them off as well!

I've stopped watching Prime now as I refuse to pay extra/twice.

Each to their own.

I've just jacked Prime in completely, fed up with paying more and getting less (i.e price goes up, ads introduced) - and I rarely watch Prime video anyway, having seen all the movies countless times as it is. If there's a show such as Fallout that I particularly wanted to watch, I'd spend £30 / year on a VPN and acquire it via other means.

Pretty much everything advertised on Amazon is free delivery anyway if you spend over £20ish. Can't see the benefit anymore right now.

You must feel robbed every day with the bar that close to the ground.
