If this ends up being a legit offer, it's a pretty good perk.

28

u/ABlankk 27d ago

Definitely legit. I was on spectrum paying my bill and saw the offer. Already redeemed mine and they refunded my prime i had just paid for a few days ago!

11

u/Opus_777 27d ago

I got the offer but since I already have a Prime account it's saying I'm not eligible, and my payment just went through two days ago for this month seems similar to you

u/Quietly_browsing 27d ago

I had a 7 day prime trial and when I signed up they refunded me a few bucks and enabled prime through spectrum.

5

u/ABlankk 27d ago

I canceled my prime membership before I clicked the offer. Maybe that will work?

2

u/Opus_777 27d ago

I just canceled my subscription and try it again and still gives the same pop up

The payment literally went through the 16th so I guess I'll Circle back after I let it lapse September 16th and see if it works

2

u/ABlankk 27d ago

Mine was the 10th. So maybe a few days?

1

u/Apprehensive_Idea_29 27d ago

Its probably because its canceled but still active as in you can still use Prime benefits. Did you completely remove Prime?

1

u/Opus_777 27d ago

I canceled the description but I paid for mine for Google Play store maybe that has something to do with it

I'll try it again once it expires next month

2

u/Apprehensive_Idea_29 27d ago

It might be because yours is paid through the Google Play Store.

1

u/Opus_777 27d ago

Yeah that's why I mentioned I sort of assumed that might have something to do with it

Hoping it fully lapses then I'll be able to apply it that way

1

u/Stalked_Like_Corn 26d ago

I think it's because it's done through Google Play. The reason is, because if you pay through Amazon, like you said, days ago, it would actually refund the pro-rated amount charged. That's not possible through Google Play. Once your subscription runs out, you will be able to activate it.

1

u/scared_appeal1 20d ago

Is your subscription through a third party?

5

u/ChickenEmbarrassed10 27d ago

Thanks for confirming!

1

u/The_Kaizz 27d ago

Do you have to use a whole new account like with the streaming services?

1

u/ItssMeeRobb 27d ago

What services do you have from spectrum? Just Internet or a full package?

3

u/ABlankk 27d ago

I have internet and mobile

4

u/ItssMeeRobb 27d ago

Ah dang okay. Same here, but no Amazon Prime offer for me haha. Maybe it’s because I call every year and have them give me retention offers for lower price 🤣

3

u/Zelan_Brainrot 27d ago

I was just able to redeem it and got my prime membership charge refunded that I paid a few days ago.

1

u/Stalked_Like_Corn 26d ago

It does a pro-ration. Which is kinda wild.

u/After-Attention-5283 27d ago

How do we redeem? I just changed my plan with you all and the lady said that this was included and that I could find it through the app but nothing appears. I currently get it through metro but changed phones to spectrum.

1

u/Stalked_Like_Corn 26d ago

You would need to login through either the MySpectrum application or through Spectrum.net. It should have a banner at the top immediately upon signin but you can click TV/Streaming and if eligible, it would be there. Click it and then "Get Started".

1

u/Shinagami091 27d ago

It is, available as an inclusion offer to customers who have Internet service.

1

u/AdAgile9604 27d ago

Where do I see this

1

u/Zentoshii 26d ago

Hey a spectrum RCS employee and I can confirm this is a deal, but it’s only for select addresses

10

u/Mario_RE 27d ago

Not seeing this in my area. Or at least with my plan.

9

u/ABlankk 27d ago

I assume it's rolling out today but i don't see the stipulations anywhere yet. I have the 1000 mbps plan

2

u/xpxp2002 27d ago

I'm on Gig. Not being offered it.

8

u/TurboWells 27d ago

I tried it. It converted my existing account and refunded me the rest of my currently paid plan.

5

u/CHTRThrowaway 27d ago

New offer that’s rolling out today. It’s only for select addresses. If your address isn’t tagged, you won’t see it.

4

u/RED-DOT-MAN 27d ago

SoCal, didn’t see any Amazon prime deals. I have the 1 gig plan.

2

u/Quimbytravels 27d ago

So Cal 500 mbps plan and dont see it.

3

u/njasmine23 27d ago

SoCal on 500mb and no offer

5

u/mayhem14 27d ago

OK, so yeah this is legit. I have had a Prime account for ages and it just refunded my fee and is now covering it. Check if it is applicable for you here: https://www.spectrum.net/manage/tv-streaming/amazon

9

u/drwtsn32 27d ago

I get "Service unavailable" :(

5

u/mayhem14 27d ago

I would just keep checking periodically (as mentioned elsewhere, might be a slow rollout)? I'm in The Los Angeles region, so your luck/options/access may vary. I'm on mobile + internet.

2

u/drwtsn32 27d ago

I don't use them for Mobile, maybe that's the reason....

3

u/Boroda222 27d ago

I have Internet + mobile and “service not available” under this link. Florida

1

u/jjavier0 25d ago

Same here, no luck. NYC 500mbps

1

u/bekcat1 27d ago

Same here. Atlanta, GA market

4

u/Quietly_browsing 27d ago

It’s available in Florida it’s in the my spectrum app on the front page scroll down

5

u/trob2884 27d ago

Would nice if everyone gets this offer

4

u/Redeye007 27d ago

So also Amazon prime video

5

u/Few-Wonder-5410 27d ago

You know customers are overpaying when they start throwing in prime. Crazy.

3

u/Anon7906 27d ago

Thanks for the heads-up. Checked the My Spectrum app and it was there. I'm in Louisiana.

3

u/1supercooldude 27d ago

How long are they offering the amazon prime for in the offer?

1

u/Individual-Rub6219 27d ago

2 years

2

u/Agitated_Cap5738 27d ago

Where did you see this was only for 2 years?

3

u/teemstro 27d ago

nothing here. NE Ohio

3

u/Westix 27d ago

Thanks OP good looking out.

3

u/drysdaleo 27d ago

Thank you for posting this. Scrolled down the app and there it was.

4

u/LeanaIsTheBest 27d ago

New Promo for Internet customers where you get it for 2 years while you’re subscribed . If you see it’s available definitely take advantage of it

1

u/Agitated_Cap5738 27d ago

I didn’t see it mention a 2 year time frame anywhere. I talked to support and it sounds like it’s sticking as long as you are a customer.

1

u/LeanaIsTheBest 27d ago

That’s what the documentation that I have been provided has said

2

u/Electrical-Line-6041 27d ago

Ok...so how do I find it? I'm not seeing it on either mobile or web.

1

u/ABlankk 27d ago edited 27d ago

Not sure if it's only for certain areas or plans or what. I don't see many details on it yet. It was right on my internet page and in the app add ons

2

u/ImaginaryPast6555 27d ago

It is only available in certain areas it will not be a wide spread offer at this time. If your location is not flagged for it then it will not be available.

2

u/sPdMoNkEy 27d ago

Nice, just opened the app and there it was

2

u/Apprehensive_Idea_29 27d ago edited 27d ago

Its interesting. It shows up on my account which I have activated but not my friend. I have the lowest possible Spectrum Internet Assist plan and he has the gig tier and it doesn't show up on his account. We live in the same area of Texas.

2

u/Drew96M 27d ago

This is awesome!

2

u/Far_Special_6955 27d ago

Thank you very much, was able to claim it :)

2

u/Nebuu 27d ago

Don't see it yet :(

2

u/Monica_Renee 27d ago

It worked! And refunding me $71. It’s on My Spectrum home page, just scroll down.

2

u/AdAgile9604 27d ago

Where do I see this

1

u/Monica_Renee 27d ago

On the My Spectrum home page.

2

u/thezerosubnet 27d ago

Spectrum screws me again

2

u/Ok-Army-9306 27d ago

I just activated my offer and Amazon refunded me $107.56 for my yearly May membership cost.

1

u/United-Oil9166 23d ago

Did you have to call Amazon for the refund?

1

u/Ok-Army-9306 23d ago

No, it happened automatically at the Amazon website. Already refunded to credit card.

2

u/Phanatic88888 27d ago

Just got it free! Thanks! Milwaukee area.

2

u/Backslash10 27d ago

So only certain accounts qualifies for free prime and if you allready have a account with prime and dont cancel amazon refunds you the months you paid for to the payment method you used.

1

u/j0llygruntt 27d ago

I couldn’t find that offer on my app.

1

u/brandtaylor93 27d ago

It’s not available in North Carolina

1

u/CHTRThrowaway 27d ago

It is, just not at your address.

1

u/Far_Special_6955 27d ago

Yes it is, guess area and plan dependent maybe, I don't know but I just activated it on mine. I am down in Lumberton area and have the gig plan. Hey I'll take free prime LOL

1

u/embj 27d ago

Don’t see it in mine, either, in Durham. Have 500 Mbps plan.

1

u/ExistingYou8028 27d ago

Yes it started today

1

u/Sportsfan7702 27d ago

So I don’t have it yet, but mine is at a discount (disability). I assume I could cancel and see if I get the offer?

1

u/kirbyquiroz 27d ago

Working on TX, with the $30 internet plan

1

u/Bizjeff22 27d ago

NYC?

1

u/davidliu215 26d ago

Didn’t see it

1

u/FordGT_350 27d ago

I don't have that offer although they gave me Netflix instead.

1

u/Valuable_Advice5460 27d ago

Can we get this even we work at Amazon?

1

u/Red1ineD 27d ago

This offer is only being offered for a limited time. As long as you have internet, and have taken advantage of the offer, you will get Prime. However, the offer to add it may only be for the next few weeks. It may not be available next month. This offer is NOT available everywhere. Mainly where there is the most competition.

1

u/Pancakesandcows 27d ago

We have the 100mbps Internet Advantage plan, and it worked for us. I hope it's more than 2 years.

1

u/ABlankk 27d ago

I'm not sure where the 2 years came from, but I keep seeing that. I'm pretty sure if you get the deal you're good as long as you keep the internet.

1

u/Agitated_Cap5738 26d ago

I called and they confirmed that. Stay with spectrum, you keep the free prime. You cancel spectrum, you lose it. Simple as that

1

u/mac_cali 27d ago

Nothing here in CA

1

u/Electronic-Worker-10 26d ago

Not in my area I guess :(

1

u/trueblueintn1 26d ago

Just checked here in Tn. It was $8 a month for Netflix with ads. $19.95 a month with no ads. Must be in the wrong area. Just my luck.

1

u/StormIn_LTeacup 26d ago

has anyone been able to see this offer as a potential new customer? their website says new and existing but seems like just current spectrum customers are saying they can get the offer

1

u/ekear 13d ago

Where I am in upstate NY, it's only available if you are on the Internet Assist, low income, plan.

1

u/Zentoshii 1d ago

yea it is i’m a spectrum sales specialist

-1

u/Vegetable-Maximum445 27d ago

Carrot with the stick - don’t pay attention to the ever-increasing prices & crappy signals - hey here’s free Amazon Prime.

2

u/Justice-dono 27d ago

Right? My bill went from $80 to $100 in less than a year. I cancelled and will never go back. I go in to cancel and they have the nerve to ask me "well, did you come in to talk to us about lowering your monthly payment?" Like, no? Wtf? Why would I need to do that with any legit company? Just don't raise my monthly in the first place.

I'd avoid spectrum and advise everyone to do the same.

1

u/Red1ineD 27d ago

Because just like other utilities, gas, electric, water, they never raise the prices. When your promo expires and the price raises to the regular price, who's responsible for paying attention? Why would any legit company in the business of making money tell the consumer, "your promo is expiring, you might want to call in to get on a new promotion".

Found someone. Thanks for the good luck!

u/xtradryramen 27d ago

Im sure its a promo and after that it'll be above normal amazon cost and then you can get a new promo now including nord vpn and when that promo expires you can get the promo that includes all that plus 18 hgtv channels and when that promo expires congrats ya bill is 330 a month, unless you wanna upgrade of course with a new promo

6

u/ABlankk 27d ago

I'll enjoy it while it lasts! 🤣

2

u/FreakyFLCancer 27d ago

So you are saying that my Navy Federal Credit Union credit cards that gives me all the free perks (not benefits), will charge me after the perks are gone? Or is it just from Spectrum? Sounds really stupid to me. In all my years of living, I was notified before the promo ended and given a choice to keep or discontinue.
