Amazon.com is offering a discount on its Prime membership for people who have low incomes and receive government assistance, positioning itself as an even greater competitor to retail giant Wal-Mart.
Customers with a valid Electronic Benefits Transfer card — used for programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps — can now pay $5.99 a month for Prime membership, which offers free shipping, as well as streaming of certain movies, TV shows and other entertainment.
Prime’s typical monthly price is $10.99, but standard users can instead pay $99 per year up front, which equates to $8.25 a month.
Amazon said Tuesday that it wants more people to have access to Prime.
What do you think about Amazon’s new marketing strategy?
Woo! Karen ‘KK’ King is probably one of my favorite reality tv moms. She reminds me of a crazy cool ass OG chick from the hood. I know a million Karen Kings.
In the video below, KK jumps on her InstaLive to set the record straight about Tommie Lee who used to date KK’s son, Scrap DeLeon, who is currently incarcerated on drug charges. Personally, I do not have Instagram so I usually miss out on all of “the gram” beefs and shenanigans but this beef is quickly making its way across the internet streets.
Tommie and KK started off as friends who used to run credit card/fraud schemes, and like most friendships, especially those in the limelight, they had a major fall out. KK says that Tommie got on Snapchat and “came for her” resulting in her verbally annihilating Tommie in the video below.
Check out VH1.com to see the clip of Tommie going off on her mother as well as the infamous Snapchat that started this whole beef with KK, who seemingly was trying to help Tommie and her mother work past their differences.
You cannot make this kind of drama up. Its too good for tv, but thank goodness for these internet streets. Grab some popcorn and sound off in the comments section!
