Yargh!!

One month ago, I signed up for the Amazon Prime month-long membership because I really wanted their free 2-day shipping. I read the fine print, made a google event in my calendar, and was ready to cancel it today. Lo and behold, I logged into my Amazon account one month later intending to cancel my trial membership, but I was shocked and felt pretty stupid when I realized that I set it as the wrong date!! It didn't occur to me that starting a membership on 1/4/09 would renew on 2/3/09. Pretty major FAIL. Bye bye $79 :(

Let this be a lesson to you all.

*edit* Hans' genius idea -- buy toilet paper, bottled water, all that good stuff with my free shipping. Genius I tell ya, genius!

FAIL #2 -- Apparently, up until the moment you make a purchase with Prime, you can cancel it and get your money back. I was SOO excited, but then I asked my brother (who shares Prime with me) whether or not he used it recently (aka today or yesterday). HE USED IT YESTERDAY. I don't get my money back. *insert failface*
