Lock in Amazon Prime for $79/year

If you haven't heard, Amazon is raising prices for its subscription delivery service (Amazon Prime) to $99/year. However, you can potentially lock yourself into the $79/year price by buying the gift of Amazon Prime. You will have to front the cash now, but the benefit is that you will sit on an email with a special link that lets get access to Prime or lets you renew Prime after it expires. That's a 25% after-tax return on investment in your first year! If you currently have Prime, just wait until it expires, otherwise it will ask you if you want to convert the gift into an Amazon gift card.
