I'm watching the nightly news, and they just said that Amazon Prime will be going up from $99 to $119.  That's quite a jump!  I use it all the time though and will pay it.  I'm not happy about it though.

Re: Amazon Prime Price Increase

@NickNack  I'm not happy about it either. I wish they would keep the price the same for those of us that already have a membership and raise prices only for new subscribers. It costs more for a business to attract new customers than it does to retain loyal customers. I enrolled in prime when they first started it several years ago. I'll keep it because I like the prime video, and I have echo dots, an echo tower, a fire stick, as well as several kindles.

Re: Amazon Prime Price Increase

As a student, I get it for 1/2 price. Even at full price it would pay for itself because I order from Amazon so much.

@CLEM, I also just renewed my Amazon Prime at the same price as you. For once I actually caught a break!

Re: Amazon Prime Price Increase

I saw that.  I was barely justifying $99.  I need to check when my renewal is due.

I just got my membership bill and it was $106.90.   Last April I paid $106.90.  There was NO increase.   I looked on Prime and it says I pay 99.00 so the rest must be CA state tax.

Re: Amazon Prime Price Increase

Customers of Amazon Prime just had a price increase the 1st of February 2018.  So, three short months later, we're getting another increase?!

I save money with Amazon Prime, but I'm feeling like Amazon may be taking advantage of its Prime members.  I would think the very least Amazon could do is refrain from increasing prices for one year after a previous increase!

Re: Amazon Prime Price Increase

My Prime renewed this month for the usual 99.00, I hate increases like everyone else, but Prime is worth it to me. iIn addition to 2 day shipping, I love Amazon video.

Re: Amazon Prime Price Increase

Sigh, I'll pay it.  It's the biggest bargain in my budget.  Since my mobility is limited it saves me a lot of pain and aggravation.  Use it several times a week for this and that, all dog food and pet supplies and I love Prime Video.
