Wonder if you could take the 1 month prime trial, buy that and cancel the trial.
There is a free month Amazon instant video trial comes with Fire TV --- Amazon Instant Video some great US TV series in this respect it is
slightly better than the TV series that are on Netflix.
Basically you can cancel anytime before the last day of the trial, but for me it is almost worth it for the free P/P as I buy quite a lot on a Amazon
rather ran eBay.
TV?
Aren't there cars to be built? 
Thats just more money for them that they won't pay tax on!

I think the £49 is only for new prime members, when i looked on the site it was asking for £79 and I am a prime member.
(insert your joke here)
I have the annual Prime supscription and the purchase process went through at £49 without any problem.
