Now that non-Prime items are temporarily marked as Prime (purple tag) instead of Prime Flash, I'm unable to know whether the Prime price is going to change. I started a thread in the Suggestion Box, but nothing has changed.

Is there a secret code to discover if a marked Prime item is true Prime, or is this another of the new regime's improvements?

Hi arifzhafir,

There was a glitch in the system that caused products on temporary prime discount to be marked as "Prime". That has since been fixed! Now, products that have the Purple Prime sash are the permanent prime products.

Thanks,

Thanks, Ethan B, for the update and clarification.

Apparently, the fix hasn't been fully implemented. dForce Apollo Outfit isn't a Prime item, but it's got a Prime tag and an expiry date. Tranquility Lodge is a premier item, but it's got a Prime tag and an expiry date---perhaps it is Prime.

OK. A Prime tag denotes that an item is on sale but is ineligible for coupon usage. (Prime Flash would've worked just as well for this purpose, but I guess that's too much trouble).
