Last year, Amazon offered a significant discount to military (active duty and veterans) for their Amazon Prime membership for any renewals done during a few days before Veterans Day. It didn't matter when your Prime membership was set to expire, any renewal during the military discount offer period extended your membership for one year from its normal expiration.

I don't see a similar offer this year.

Here's a ink (https://www.military.com/discounts/a...s-day-discount) to an article that describes last year's discount that includes this statement:

Amazon Prime Veterans Day Discount 2020 Update:

Will Amazon.com offer its wildly popular Veterans Day Amazon Prime discount for 2020? Although the company has yet to make an official announcement, the rumor is that the discount will not be offered again for 2020. Last year's discount was announced on Nov. 6.

There is an email ( veteransday@amazon.com ) listed in the article for contact with Amazon.

Thanks for your service.

Take care,
Stu

I sent them an email asking if the discount is being offered?
I'll post any reply.
Thanks for the info.

I may need to apologize. I posted before I sent email to the address I listed. When I did send email to the address, it bounced.

Sorry.

Take care,
Stu

Yep, my email bounced also. So I called them and it appears they are NOT offering the discount at this time.
I asked how I could find out if that changes. Amazon rep suggested I search Amazon for "veterans discount" every now and then.
If it is offered, I'll post it here.

I've subscribed to prime for several years now but not to sure I will again. Maybe it's just me but their delivery times have really began to increase to days and weeks. I get the "We are sorry but your order is running late" on just about every third order I make. Nothing ever makes it here in two days, nothing.

If I could talk my wife to DX Prime tv, I'd prolly get rid of Prime.
The excuses of wuhan delays is getting old...

Covid caused that. They are improving delivery times.
