WTF! Amazon Mom closed to new members!

I signed up for Amazon Mom already because I wanted to get a jumpstart on my registry but I was chatting with a friend on FB and she said she couldn't join because they closed the program to new members! This totally bites!

Anyone know if this is permanent? I am wondering if they are shutting down the program. I think diapers.com is going to get a flood of business.

Edit: They are taking names for a waitlist. If you are already a member, you probably won't be able to see the message. Unless you sign out.

    I have heard that Amazon Mom is not a profitable division for Amazon, so it wouldn't surprise me if they close it down or significantly redesign it.

    I would hope it is just a seasonal thing.  I was just telling a friend that doesn't have kids to sign up for it just to get free shipping for the holidays since they give you a free 3 months.  I also have a hard time believing that it's not profitable because I'm not addicted to Amazon for all sorts of stuff!

    That does suck  because they have awesome deals.  Hopefully they open it up for new mothers.

    Sorry to hear that:( Last week they emailed me that the formula we use was no longer eligible for the savings it used to be, so now I am trying out diapers.com I've noticed that many of Amazon's items you used to get for up to 30% off with subscribe and save you no longer can.

    And it's a wonder that they have to stop people who actually need it from using it.

    I thought I read somewhere that Amazon owns diapers.com now.

    Ive always assumed Amazon mom couldn't be profitable for them, except as a way to encourage moms to buy the rest of their baby gear from them, and as a good way to introduce a big group to subscribe and save.

    I was waiting until next week to sign up because it was a month before my due date!  I did sign for the waitlist though...

    That's crazy.  I already used up all of my Prime months(I signed up right after DD was born and I think I got 12 or 13 months of Prime shipping)...I miss that 2 day shipping.

    I will tell you that I couldn't find DD's overnites on Amazon, so I finally tried Diapers.com.  I got both daytime and overnites and saved a TON of money.  The diapers were ordered Sunday evening, and arrived Tuesday evening.  I loved it.  I will probably use them more.

    I believe Diapers.com was bought by Amazon at some point...but they're definitely run differently.

    Amazon bought diapers.com's parent company last year.
