Cancelled mine long ago. Was not happy they way they kept pushing things at me and not allow me to opt out of their heavy marketing.
Seriously? I've had the same Amazon account since 1995. I've never had to deal with a bunch of spam from them.
Yeah, I've had an Amazon account since the mid '90s too, and I've never had any problem with them either. But I am curious Jumping Frog.....why cancel the "Prime" membership, but not your complete membership? I have a "Prime" account too, so that's why I ask.

OTH, I don't do all my online shopping at Amazon.
I still buy most of my DVD, CDs and books on Amazon. For most other things I check with Amazon and then do my shopping for price and shipping.
My wife says she can buy groceries from Amazon. Meh.... I actually like Amazon, I just don't want to buy everything from them; and I do try and support local businesses whenever I can.

I've had a prime membership for 6 years now and the free shipping or next day shipping (life saver when I forget about a birthday/anniversary/Fathers day/Mothers day etc) makes it totally worth it. We also use the free streaming video we get with our prime membership (its like Netflix but with slightly different selection). If Amazon has a warehouse in Dallas where their products ship then we need to pay sales tax. Keep in mind that its not Amazon.com's fault here, Texas pretty much left them no option.
Now more than ever its more important to comparison shop though.
