Existing members can buy a gift membership for $72 to use on their own account
Gift memberships [amazon.com]
are also $72 and can be purchased by existing members. Enter your own
email address when asked for the recipients email. You will receive a
Prime membership redemption code emailed to you. Save this code in a
safe place and use it when your Prime membership expires to extend your
membership. If you redeem the code while you still have Prime, you will
receive a $72 Amazon credit added to your account.
Gift code of prime membership has to be sent out no later than one year
from today. However, the code itself never expires and can be redeemed
anytime.In order
to avoid the auto renewal of Prime (which is the default option) at the
end of your year of prime and so you can use the gift membership you
bought for $72 you need to do the following:
Go to "Your account” and then select the sixth option
down – “Your Prime Membership”. On the left sidebar, you’ll see an
option to end your membership. The first time you click, it does not
end immediately, it gives you more options. The options were something
like, “Continue membership”, “get a reminder 3 days before membership
ends” and “end membership”. Again – if you click on “end membership” it
does not actually end your membership right away, as you might expect,
instead, it gives you the option to either cancel immediately, or have
it cancel on the annual renewal date. Chose 2nd option so your Prime
will be cancelled at the end of your year of service. The next day after
that happens use your gift Prime membership.
