For how many years I can stack up Amazon prime membership

[_deb_]

So instead of stacking up, it is actually better to wait till near the expiry date and get at least 100 rs and sometimes even 150 rs discount on the voucher which can then be used next year.

If you got a voucher it is better to use it by adding to balance or purchase, or sell it to someone else. There have been lot of discussions within TF about people finding during redemption that the voucher has already been used.

Why? I like to keep the Prime membership. ₹33 cost per month is totally reasonable.

No..i meant to cancel 3 month one...then only use 1499 one

But why do I need to do that? I have a current active plan, ₹599 plan is stacked as future plan and ₹1499 is in voucher balance. So I am set till Jan 2027. Among all of these only ₹99 was from my pocket, rest of the vouchers I had received as rewards from Credit card or something else.

₹599 for 3 month plan. ₹500 was free voucher and ₹99 was paid by me. Hence cost to me was ₹33 per month.

Yes, it would expire in 1 year. But during next renewal, the remaining amount could be used 1 day before and still get the discount. The voucher addition should be planned as near as possible to the expiry date. See how I got 100 Rs discount in 2023 and used that in 2024. I again got 100 Rs discount in 2024.

I am a bit confused:

1. Why the 2024 purchase was done on 13 Nov, and not on 2 Dec (like in 2023)?

2. How the Rs. 101 gift card came in the picture? How is the 100 saved in 23 shown as used in 24?

3. So now you have 201 left over (unused) in 24?

1. Because 100 balance voucher would have expired. So renewed earlier than expiry date.
2. In 2024, I had purchased voucher of 799+399 = 1198. I got a discount of 100 from Amazon. I had a balance of 100 from 2023. 101 I paid from Amazon pay balance. Screenshot below.
3. No because I only purchased voucher of 1198 in 2024. In 2025 I will again use 1499 voucher ( already added to account) just before renewal to get 100 discount and then the process would get repeated next year.

Yes, voucher should be added. But used only before renewal to get at least 100 more discount from Amazon.

How does it work in Amazon, -- early renewal gets queued and starts only after original subscription expiry (like Jio), -- or does it start right away, cutting the previous subscription short?

It starts after previous subscription ends.
