I hate online shopping. Hate it, hate it, hate it. Despise it.

50. Depends on what you could use

If you don't buy a lot the shipping benefits alone likely won't add up to 99 per year. For us we get our money's worth on that alone.

But Prime also gives you a decent but not great streaming TV channel (you can watch on a PC or phone if you don't have Roku or a smart TV) which has some good series including originals and a fair selection of movies, a music streaming and downloading service that again is decent but not quite top notch (for "classical" stuff that is. Other genres may be better or worse), a Kindle book borrowing dervice (again can use on a PC or phone app if you, like me, have a different e-reader or none) and a free unlimited photo storage option, not that that's too rare.

If you want or would use those other benefits it's very worth it, as it's cheaper than Netflix alone. Prime is probably not as good as Netflix unless you have unusual tastes, but it comes with everything else too.
