Paribus is the app, you must give up some privacy.

There is a little additional trick, place your order at the last possible moment. On the last page before placing order, there is a section that says "order in the next xx hours xx minutes to get your by x day." Don't place your order until it gets closer to zero.

Of course if something is on sale. Don't wait.

Also order all your prime items seperately, amazon will still ship together, but you Have a chance of getting multiple free months.

Lastly, it's unproven, but I always include a gift note, I assume it might help delay the process.

It seems like work, but it becomes habit and keeps my prime cost down, especially since the last one left University, so no more prime student.

Of course the cheapest prime, is to be an add on to someone else's account, or know a student.

We have used Parabus...we have gotten several items free because of late shipments. We have also gotten several months free for Prime. Totally worth the time to use Parabus.
