I really value my Amazon Prime membership, especially on the order I just placed. I bought ten books as gifts, and since I'm Amazon Prime, I paid no shipping for two-day delivery and the books actually showed up the next day!

Amazon creates a great dynamic where the more money you spend with them, the more value you are getting from your Prime 'dues'. How many members eel that way about their associations?
