Amazon now requires customers in some areas to spend at least $35 to qualify for free shipping — up from $25

• Amazon is testing a new minimum order requirement to get free shipping.
• The company now requires some non-Prime users to spend a minimum of $35, up from $25, to qualify.
• The change comes with holiday shopping and the year's second Amazon Prime Day just around the corner.

It's not a glitch: Amazon is requiring some non-Prime customers to spend more in order to qualify for free shipping.
