Amazon Offers Moto G Play to Prime Customers at $50 Discount

Amazon announced a day before Apple’s expected iPhone 7 launch another unlocked smartphone with exclusive pricing for Prime members. Amazon is lopping $50 off the price of the 5-inch Moto G Play, bringing the Prime price to $99 with lock-screen offers and ads, said a Tuesday news release. The phone will ship Sept. 15. The Moto G Play, with a quad-core processor and 2 GB RAM, joins the Blu R1 HD ($49 vs. $99) and fourth-gen Moto G ($149 vs. $199) in favored Prime pricing. Prime free-trial customers and customers invited to join Prime can buy the phones at full price and receive a $50 Amazon gift card after becoming a paid Prime member, said Amazon. Customers who cancel their paid Prime membership or return the phone within the first three months of membership are subject to a voided gift card or charge for purchases made with the gift card, Amazon said. Moto G Play customers can choose their own plan with AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile or Verizon.
