Old Thread Died, Need Help

[byalexandr]

This is not a troubleshooting thread, but it is tech related. I ordered the following today with a $75 American Express Gift Card. KEEP IN MIND IT'S A GIFT CARD.

 

1x Cooler Master Seidon 120V for $49.99

 

1x Scythe Gentle Typhoon PWM 120mm Fan for $20.00

 

The items qualified for free ground shipping, but during checkout it asked me if I wanted to start a Prime trial and get free Two-Day shipping. I accepted, and the order was processed. Currently it is at 'Preparing for Shipment' and it's expected to get here Sunday by 8PM. Now after I was celebrating that I just got some swiggity swaggity new parts, I went online to see how to cancel the membership/trial if I didn't have more money by the next month to continue it. Well it said my Trial wasn't started due to the card being a gift card, not a credit card, and that I 'won't receive Prime benefits' until it is resolved. I don't mind if they downgrade my shipping back to ground shipping, I just don't want to have to put in another card if they message me or something. What should I do? Let the shipment go through or edit the order? I feel bad for 'cheating them' I guess, since I didn't actually start the trial and it still went in as free Two-Day shipping. Help me out guys, thanks!

I know, I'm sorry. I already resolved the issue, and I still got free Two-Day shipping in the process, lol.
