It sounds like Amazon Prime in which membership allows unlimited "free" deliveries.
Amazon Prime has a "membership" fee, as some store loyalty cards do. The problem with this "pay a flat monthly fee, get lower prices" thing is that it's only cost effective for customers who normally buy more than a certain amount of stuff. Otherwise, one possible workaround is to delay buying anything till what you want to buy has exceeded that threshold amount, opt in, buy the lot, and then opt out. Another is to combine with friends and family, thus dividing the fee by the number of people involved until it's so tiny that nobody gets nudged into buying stuff they don't much want. Get the cheese without springing the trap.
I used to have Amazon Prime, I always went shopping there, I used to get my groceries from Amazon Fresh, they stopped delivery to my zip code, I’m very happy with Instacart now. I also had Amazon Videos, I loved Amazon Videos, Amazon it too much money now, I’m in California, I paid under $15 month, they are more expensive now, so Walmart+ is a good deal, but I usually shop at Walmart once month. I have Best Buy card, I always shop there when I could walk better. Best Buy was like Disneyland to me
