omg rite said:Wait, that seems kind of obvious. Have we really not done this before?
A GAF Amazon Prime thread where we all get in groups and use PayPal or whatever to give the main person $16
Granted, I wouldn't do the thread. Couldn't organize that well. heh
Having that said, here is our 1st ever Amazon Prime Gaf Thread!
The basic principle of this thread is that since an Amazon Prime Memeber ship (Prime) is split-able into 4 accounts, instead of one person paying the 80 dollars for their year membership, members can now 'Host' a Prime and other members can split the cost via paypal.
How it works?
Simple! Within the Prime registration, it allows you to add 4 households (5 including yourself) and you are able to register their account and they will gain the benefits! think of it like giving gifts via Steam!
****************update 11/9
When you send out your prime memberships, you will need to send your group the following info and in-turn they must send you the same back.
What is Prime?
Amazon Prime is a shipping service they offer which has 2 day shipping for free on any items sold BY AMAZON. There is no order requirement, objects can be 1 dollar to 600 dollars, and you can upgrade to overnight for 3.99$!
Why go Prime?
It is true that you can receive free shipping if your order exceeds 25 dollars, but (now this is a roll of the dice) sometimes your items will not leave there warehouse for a week, sometimes they will leave the next day, it depends. On top of that there is the shipping time, which is 5-9 days. In my experience the turn around is generally 2-3 weeks, but it depends. This is a surefire way to receive your items when you want them and if you cannot wait, there is the 1 day shipping.
How it works with Gaf members
1st off, NeoGaf nor I have NO LIABILITY for this. This is thread is meant for other Gaffers to meet newer people to come together and get their Prime accounts. Depending on how you guys feel it would work best, either I can choose to delegate members to Hosts.
OR if this is better, people who want to be HOSTS will post that they want to be one and other members will PM them to be on their team. The people who are the hosts will then post their groups or post if they are looking for more members.
It should look something like this.
Demimatt: Host
Members: TheCrow, ziegen
Looking for 1 more!
The members will then paypal the 16 dollars to the host since an account is 80 dollars, and that Host will delegate the memberships accordingly. Hosts will also need to distribute their birthdays and full names to their members and conversely members will need to send their full names, birthdays, and emails to the hosts. THIS IS CRUCIAL!
Notes
gdt5016 said:Thats what I did actually. Me and two other GAFfers went in together. Worked out great. I'd advise against going with junior members though lol.
Hosts who choose to use Juniors in their groups please do so at your disgression. Please keep in mind neither Neogaf Mods nor I will hold any responsibility to members NOT paying so please, do not purchase the Prime account until you have received all funds.
If the Neogaf Community wants me to delegate members to Hosts please let me know. Otherwise Hosts will create their own groups in this thread.
Always open to suggestions on how to make this work, I just threw this idea together.
Currently for me
Demimatt: Host
Members: TheCrow, ziegen, madara, DCX
Group Assembled!
