Amazon Prime increase - Page 2

I guess I lucked out, because mine renewed end of January so one more year.

It's still pretty worth it. I get way more back on my card for the year than the annual fee, plus no shipping on orders.

I will have to reconsider if that'sworth it for me. Most of what I buy on Amazon are gifts for the g-kids.

The same with me @tansy but i usually only get it for a week or two. The last time that I used Amazon Prime I payed $12.99 for the week. and I bought several items.

Mine just renewed in January 29th.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

We have a center nearby in OKC so we get so many things overnight. It's worth it for so many things we might need in a hurry--otc medicine, light bulbs, things like that you run out of and need in a hurry.

The first article I read today about the price increase blamed it on Amazon's acquiring the rights to Thursday night football, among other things. That seemed sure to inflame a segment of Amazon's subscribers. Later articles, including the one from @SeaMaiden , simply cite inflation and higher labor costs. That seems like a more sensible approach - one that most people will understand even if they don't like.

@chickenbutt I agree. I have the 5% back Chase Amazon card and received about $400 back last year so it's worth it to me to keep my Prime.

In addition, with the difficulties with shipping and managing returns from QVC and HSN, the Amazon shipping and return policies mean a lot to me. While it may take a MONTH for HSN/QVC to credit my acct on a return (HSN used to be better but recently I had 2 very bad experiences dealing with them), Amazon makes returning items (I return very little) a SNAP.

I had several return items that their CS instructed me to keep while crediting my acct. Other times, I didn't even have to wrap the item, just use the QR code on my phone and drop it at Whole Foods where I can shop after returning.

Because of the return and shipping issues, I find myself shopping Amazon more and more. I would prefer spreading my purchases to other retailers; however, I appreciate the hassle-free (minimal) experience of shopping on Amazon (including their excellent CS) so I'll stick with them for the immediate future.

I just checked to see when mine renews. I thought it was in May but it's actually March 26th. I guess I will be stuck with the higher price. I will definitely renew. I use Amazon all of the time.
