Prime for students is 49.00.  I've never understood why Amazon doesn't offer seniors the same benefit,  I dropped my Prime too.  You can club yourself into the poor house,

We have been Prime members from the very beginning.  I get packages from Amazon almost every day.  We get so much from vitamins & health/beauty items to large items and all sots of odds & ends.

Prime has been well worth it to us!

I'm not surprised. Prices are increasing everywhere. I thought Prime Video would be included with Prime Membership, didn't realize it was extra. 

I order from Amazon, but not enough to get my money's worth for Prime membership. It would be worthwhile if I ordered more frequently.

Same here. We occasionally shop from Amazon but not enough to justify a membership fee. We shop Amazon for things we can't find in our local stores.

@kaydee50 Thank you for posting this.

I am over paying the $139 a year for Amazon Prime.

I do watch a few things on AP but I don't think I would miss that.

It was cool when it was $99 a year & I got things in 2 days. I rarely got things in 1 day where I live.

Now I rarely get things in less than 5-7 days. It's fine but if I can get the same service without paying $139 a year, I would be up for that.

$35 is pretty easy to get to.

@MorningLover Thank you!

@teganslaw Prime Video is included.

I think that is if you just want to buy PV instead of Amazon Prime service. Which makes no sense. $107.88 for just video or $139 for the service.

@teganslaw @It's included in the price of my annual membership.

I think it may vary over time and by region, like Amazon pricing does generally.  It was $35 when I ordered a month or two ago.  

I just keep a list of wants and place an order when I'm over the free-shipping threshold.
