Amazon India is now offering cashback for No-Rush Delivery on Prime

[Sushubh]

This has been a feature on Amazon USA for a long time IIRC. Good to see this on Amazon India!

looks like this option would be available on products that can be delivered next day through prime.
i guess Amazon is realizing that it is cheaper to give back 15 rupees to the customer than to actually deliver the product next day.
anyways... win situation for prime users as not every product is indeed required the next day.

I imagine they're saving more than 15rs per delivery

You just need to get cashback from 67 orders to have prime for free ?

67 "prime" orders not taken as prime!

 

[Sushubh]

well you still get free delivery. for orders under rs. 500. so you are still getting prime benefit.
but yeah, having 67 orders in a year that are available on next day delivery would going to be hard.
the thing is... Amazon could easily just remove next day delivery option from these products. next day delivery is available on a very small range of products under prime. they are not doing that. but offering an incentive for opting for a slower delivery.

brb ordering my entire pantry list as single items.

 

[Sushubh]

Haha. Probably would not be applicable on pantry. Because Pantry is not Prime. Even though Amazon pretends it is.

so found out something. it only works on orders above rs. 200.

had ordered a product that was over 200. but sale price was under 200.

Amazon showed the no rush delivery option. i selected it. cashback never arrived.

got on customer support chat. that's when i found out about the rs. 200 requirement.

Well then they should not show "no-rush" option at first place.
