Amazon is offering a one-day sale on their Prime membership for just $79 for a year, instead of the standard $99 fee.

You can even pay with your Amazon gift card balance. Otherwise, use your Discover card for 5% back or your Amazon credit card for 5% back.
This offer started at midnight 11/18, and will continue until 11:59 pm PT tonight. We covered the deal a couple days ago; reposting since it’s live now.
This deal is only for new members. So long as your previous membership expired, you are considered a new member and the deal will work.
If your membership is renewing soon, you might consider opening another Prime membership under a spouse/family-member’s account and locking in the discount that way. (Some have even had success chatting with Amazon and getting buying the $79 rate the coming year with getting a prorated refund on the remaining membership from the year before. YMMV.) Purchasing this deal also worked for a returning customer.
Aside from the well-known two day shipping benefit, Prime also gets you access to their video and music streaming service, Kindle library, Prime Pantry, and more.
