I didn't notice this benefit when I applied for the amex BCP, but its actually is paying off fairly well for me. If you apply for amex plat, BCP, BCE or Gold Business you can get a credit for one year of Amazon Prime (assuming you meet your initial spend requirement), which is a $79 value. Its a nice little perk for a card I was getting anyway for other reasons. Not sure when amex started adding this as part of their offer.

It was there at least as far back as Christmas. I even did an online chat with Amex on Dec 26th to see if I had that benefit, but they said no.
Considering I received their best APR for the BCE, and a larger than normal signing bonus, I had no complaints 
For BCE, the sign up bonus is $50 plus Amazon Prime. I've seen much higher sign up bonuses and honestly I think I'd prefer the cash

Another reason I went with the BCP its $100 cash back.
You should be able to get $250 CB from the BCP signup.

I assume you mean the cardmatch offer. Once my credit improved they pulled the offer from me and I waited a few months but it would not come back. Its really absurd. The website offered me the card when I knew I would be rejected (because I had just been rejected for an amex charge) and then they pulled it and I was able to get instant approvals.

It really depends on the content you're looking for.
I like Netflix quite a bit and watch a lot of TV shows + they have a decent foreign film select IMO + Netflix originals have been A+ so far. I've been told though that Amazon has some newer movies and decent TV selection as well. I'm guessing the combo (Netflix+prime) will be pretty good. Plus I buy something from Amazon once a month, so the free shipping will add up pretty quick too!
Amazon Instant isn't really anything to write home about. If you have Netflix, I'd just stick with that. However, I have Amazon Prime for Students, and I have saved a ton on shipping (yay two day!). Kind of bummed Indiana now requires sales tax on Amazon orders
