Does anyone without Prime really miss it? Or did you cancel and regret it? Mine is up for renewal at the end of this month, fairly certain I'm not going to renew regardless of a price hike.
Added bonus is I found myself impulsively ordering less useless crap since it requires more thought to order and isn't delivered immediately.
I don't miss it at all. I do miss the amazon of 10 years ago though.
Why? What about it do you miss?
I buy all sorts of one day/same day items that I would need to go to a store for otherwise (virtually anything that isn’t fresh food that you might want same day like toothpaste or soap or bandages), so I could never give it up.
Though I do have a pharmacy in walking distance so it's not much effort for me.
Just earlier today, I was looking to buy some isopropyl alcohol spray. There was one that was listed as "Get by Sun Feb 6". Out of curiosity, I applied that filter.
Now that item had disappeared. And a much smaller list of items where none of them were actually available tomorrow, and in fact, most were a week slower than the first I found.
(Personally I keep Prime mostly for Prime Video, and a few other perks. I typically only buy a few things from Amazon each month, so the free fast shipping is a bonus for me, not a must-have).
So the statement you challenged makes perfect sense.
Their point was you might have erroneously assumed you had to make a decision now.
"Paid members who haven't used their benefits are eligible for a full refund of the current membership period. We'll process the refund in three to five business days."

I have received a pro-rated refund when I cancelled in the past.
For me, I go without, and I only buy things with free shipping, so having Prime would not save me money; it would cost me money.
(I also buy less things when I do not have Prime, so that saves me additional money!)
The "2 day guarantee" doesn't really exist anymore, so I have to ask - what am I paying for?
The faster delivery is a nice bonus, but I have prime for the live tennis content mainly.
