Prime Slow Shipping Credit options may include $20 Home Services credit

If you are a Prime member, and you want to select slow shipping for your Prime-eligible purchase, among the options you MAY see in the Amazon shopping cart is a $20 credit for Amazon Home Services. These are all kinds of services that people provide for you (for a fee of course), ranging from simple (eg assemble a bookcase) to complicated (fix problems with the house). The option doesn’t always show, it seems to vary depending on what product and price-range you have in the shopping cart, zipcode, and whatever other reasons their shopping cart uses to decide.

It looks like this (screenshot below). The link there points to a short page with the terms of the promotion. There we learn that it expires by 2/28/17 if not used.

Personally I prefer the free Prime Pantry shipping option more than anything, since the digital credits ending up getting me to buy more digital content I will realistically not consume (eg ebook daily deals) 🙂 But at least for Prime Pantry, there’s an alternate way to get free shipping, buy five or more of the monthly features products [see our earlier post on those].
