With free two-day shipping on millions of items, Netflix-style video streaming, and a library of Kindle books that you can borrow for free, Amazon Prime is a no-brainer for anyone who shops online. Today, a policy change for non-Prime customers makes a membership more valuable than ever.


Amazon has long offered free five-day shipping to non-Prime members with a minimum order of $25. Starting today though, that threshold has increased to $35. If this Super Saver Shipping program kept you on the fence about signing up for Prime, this policy change might be the perfect excuse to jump, especially with the holiday shopping season on the horizon. If you haven't signed up yet, you can try it out for free.
