Amazon is more profitable than ever after a year of mass layoffs::The tech giant posted the largest quarterly operating income in its history on the back of cost-cutting and faster revenue growth in key divisions.

    How often does that happen? What’s the duration?

      I was mostly being facetious, I try not to use Amazon. My wife does off and on and has used a free trial 3-4 times a year.

      The trials are 30 days (in the US) and years ago, 4-5, I would just use a throwaway email and do a new trial every 30 days to keep Prime. Not sure if they guard against that at all now or not.

        They offer me “free trials” every few months when i try to purchase something. which i accept and then promptly cancel so I don’t forget about it. It’s helpful for me since there are some things i need to purchase regularly on there. No throwaway required.

          Good to know, glad you take advantage! Amazon is one of several companies I avoid on ethical grounds but I fault nobody else for shopping there.
