Amazon’s original series Transparent won five Emmys earlier this week. To celebrate, Amazon is offering $32 off Amazon Prime memberships. But there’s a catch: this deal is only good today, September 25. Today only, Prime memberships are on sale for $67. The normal price of an Amazon Prime membership is $99, for a savings of $32. You can learn more about this promotion here. This one-day discount will start on Friday, September 25, at 12 a.m. Eastern time and end at 11:59 p.m. Pacific.
Amazon first launched Amazon Prime back in 2005, and recently celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the service with their Prime Day promotion. Until early 2014, the price of Amazon Prime was just $79. Amazon increased the cost of a Prime Membership to $99 in March of 2014. That marked the first increase in price in the history of the program. The September 25 promotion will see the cost of Prime drop to levels even lower than the 2014 membership price.
