We will have a group release of new prime products on Wednesday, August 19th.
You do now have 55% off ALL clearance items, that price will be reflected when items are added to the cart. Prime members do now receive 7% on Render Rewards. Those will be calculated at 7% at the first of the month when those are issued.

Finally - been waiting and asking for some info on this for weeks and not got any replies which has a tendency to make a customer to feel unwanted and therefore shop elsewhere.
However after copying and pasting the link you posted, it would have been nice if you had just posted a link but perhaps that can't be done with the new forum, I am still confused as to the pricing structure of the Prime items - I am not going to pay for a membership until I know what I'm getting.

Thank you for the Link but it didn't really tell me what I wanted to know.
I did a bit of looking and asking and realise that the Prime doesn't really have much value any more some of the products are only reduced by a couple of dollars, all I can see is that during some sales Prime items will be more expensive than the sales items.
I'm also rather disappointed that no on has replied to me sooner and the only reply is a Link, sadly I can't help but get the impression that the Prime isn't really supported anymore and new members aren't really wanted.

If a product is on sale you will check out at the sale pricing.
There are a lot of benefits to prime. Lower everyday pricing, you don't have to wait for a product to be put on sale to get a good price on it. There will be special releases into prime at a huge discount for prime members only for a few days only to let prime members get a great value. There is a free item each month. There will still be some items released at $3.50. The pricing structure was changed to allow for larger products at a good discount for prime members. The $3.50 pricing structure kept the size of those items constrained at times. We have many vendors who do LARGE high-quality items that they can now put into the prime section at a good discount for prime members. Some of these vendors rarely put their stores on sale, so putting an item in prime for a larger discount is a benefit to those prime members who would like to purchase those items. Also, this allows for a larger variety of vendors to participate in prime. The prime section is no longer limited to a select group of vendors.
Prime members will still get coupons each month that are for prime members only and are not available to all members. Prime members will still get vendor specific store coupons that are good for Prime Members Only. There is the prime only forum, prime only gallery, ability to upload unlimited gallery images, prime challenges coming up with prizes for those who particpate and other benefits. So we do still support Prime completely.
I posted the link because of the request for it and thought it would help and be easier to just click that than copy paste for anyone who wanted to view it. :)

Would it be possible to give an example or 2 of the
''special releases into prime at a huge discount for prime members only for a few days only to let prime members get a great value.''
Thank you.
I'm still rather disappointed that its taken 3 days for someone to reply to my post.

Hi.
We are working with vendors currently who would like to participate in this. There will be NEW product releases of larger items, and sometimes regular sized products at say 50% off (not 50 in all cases, could be 40 or 60% depending on the regular price and vendor request) and can only be purchased at that special price by prime members for a period of time when it is first released. Regular members would be able to purchase, but at the regular price. The period of time will be varied as well as the percent off so that this promotion does not become static in appearance and savings. These could be done randomly each month.
I am sorry it took so long to respond. I responded as soon as I saw your post.

Thank you for taking the time to answer, but to be totally honest I think I'll give it a miss for a while until I can see how it works out.

Ok. That is understandable. Be watching. :) Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you.
