crowdsourcing a conspiracy
I've just learned that Amazon Prime, the $75/year service that provides free two-day shipping for all purchases from the site, allows users to designate up to five (or so) relations who can also use the program, apparently without much in the way of verification. Anyone want to go in on this together? It's first-come, first-served as far as who gets to be niece, uncle or life partner, though.

ok. But if you want to share with people who you actually know, no worries. The bear video was frickin' hilarious, by the way. The Destroyer should definitely have gotten that bottle of coca-cola.
Cool. So far I've heard from you and from another person over email. Any other takers? I'd like to get a few more before taking the plunge.
I'd be in for it. So they don't check for a common address? The info page says the people all need to be part of the "same household", but I guess they don't verify that.
I wouldn't be surprised if they crack down at some point, but apparently the folks in our NYC office have been doing it some time with success, shipping stuff to entirely different addresses.
I've been sharing my prime account with a number of folks, er.. i mean, my child, aunt, unmarried partner, and a handful of sisters, all at different shipping addresses (albeit all in the NYC region), for at least a year now with no issue.
They do require all users to have a valid birthday though...
I call "spinster aunt!"
Offtopic - Hi, I stalked you here via de.licio.us. Since I know nothing about regex, I was wondering if you could help make this look decent?
Much obliged..!
Shay: give this a try.
I'm totally in. I've been considering signing up because of EchoNYC's championship of Prime. I'll be grandpa, seeing as how everyone else in my building is.
I'm in for it if there is room left. If not, I can start a new account and allow people to buy in.
