This could be a deal if someone really wants to go thru all that. I think most don’t know or really care it’s going up since it just auto-renews for those that use it. This is not the first time it’s gone up and don’t think most will notice or mind it increased a bit. Prime shipping alone still makes the membership very competitive for those that order online frequently.

Amazon Prime (One Year Membership) is not available for you to purchase because you are either a Prime member or you are buying Prime with 1-Click ordering. Please delete this item to continue.

How to turn off "auto renewal"? I contacted Amazon. They said that can only be changed from their end.

I was told, if you have a paused membership you cannot apply gift membership to it. and the gift membership must be accepted in 2 weeks else it expires/gets refunded.

don't forget the 5% cash back for prime members in your number crunching. //@Anonymous: Have been paying for Amazon Prime for 5+ years. Always believed (blindly) it was a deal because I buy a lot from Amazon. This price hike made me run the numbers again. Turns out free shipping on $25 is enough for my orders, and I don't rely on other Amazon services (Prime Video, which is getting worse; or Photos - never trust any cloud storage with "unlimited" capacity... look at Google Photos).

I choose "Pause on October 1, 2022" option, not "End on October 1, 2022" Option. Choosing the "End on October 1, 2022" option I think may lose my photo backup on Amazon cloud. I have been the prime member for many years. To save 20 bucks, what a hoop we have to go through!

If you spend $4633 a year on Amazon, you'll make it even with prime membership $139 (with 3% rebate difference, 5% for "prime member signature card holder" vs. 2% "citi or wells-fargo card holder").

So, I followed the instructions and cancelled my membership.
I will continue to use Prime. I use prime videos and the unlimited photos. The Amazon eco-system works well for me.

Thanks for the reminder. Just chatted with them about the price increase and turning off auto-renew. I didn't see the feature listed unless it's what you get when choosing the "end membership" option. Who do we thank for all the price increases going on? Gas, insurance, related grocery, amazon and other increases? Why people, why?

Walmart was the most reliable vendor during early pandemic. Amazon was either out of stock, or price was increased significantly. //@Anonymous: As a matter of fact, it was the opposite! Amazon was the one you couldn't rely on. Most orders got canceled. Unethical price gouging. Super late delivery even with Prime... you name it!
Walmart was the one who helped us during the early stages of the pandemic. //@anonymous: To be fair, you relied on Amazon during pandemic. Only Amazon delivery were fully functional last year. I do not like it, but I understand why.

I have been Amazon Prime Member for 11 years. Just told them I will quit.
Just no need to use their service anymore. The only two I used are Prime-2-days delivery and Prime videos. When the first one does not work in most cases, and you can access all videos from other resources, it just means nothing at all. Adios.

Costco sucks when it comes to online shopping. //@Anonymous: I love Costco for return policy. But Amazon have5% cash back for prime. //@anonymous: Costco give members cash back, with different percentages but anyway you will get a check by the end of the year. Not sure if for all people, I paid $120 for Costco membership and get a check last month for $132. Amazon won’t give a penny back. //@anonymous: I really like the choice for Amazon but...
1) buying from Amazon has higher risks than buying from Costco in term of the authenticity and quality of merchandizes. I will go amazon for those merchandizes that i cannot find in local stores.
2) One day when we see the only vendor available on this site is "Amazon", then we know we the consumers are in trouble. Amazon can give something to you for cheaper, it can also take that away from you when time comes and when you can rely on it. //@Anonymous: and yet people don't complain membership fees to Costco? I wasted far more money there that could pay for Prime 3 times over.

Now that Amazon doesn’t price match anymore, I think I may be reconsidering my annual membership. Target and Walmart deliver in my area, they can have my business. Too many other options out there now for what Amazon offers (shipping, video, music, etc.) who knows after a year break I may miss them, but that’s what I said about my cable tv when I dropped them 10 years ago… lol

I believed in the people purchasing power, so the more people cancel their membership the less likely Amazon will make this increase. We all should united to make a stand to Amazon, no more increases, especially their profits are sky high. Just stop sending ppl to space on our expenses. Use your own money for that and save the little ppl some money. //@Anonymous: Sorry to those who think their decision matters. The reality is this. Amazon decided to increase by $20 because the people cancelling will be less than 14% of the original subscribers. They are optimizing their revenue.

I think it still has values but just not this much. I’d subscribe on a monthly basis, but not every month, only when there’s a new show on prime or when I have quite a few things to buy, so essentially I am only paying half or less of the full annual cost

many items are up 30-70% and are 2 or 3X the price locally. Just failed to renew my Prime expiring tomorrow. Others should do the same and not because of the $$ increase.

It draws attention to those who may not be getting value so that they can discontinue it. And it allows competitors an opportunity to compete. Lastly for many of the shareholders (of which I am one) and holders of funds that include Amazon, it was a plus for the share price.

Just went through my amazon shopping history, spent a little bit more than $1k last year, which means prime member fee/shopping cost is around 10%. And most of the items bought I should be able to get from Costco or Target, which I visit regularly. But shipping is free (not really) and fast, why not? Funny. And what funnier is, items hard to find somewhere else I rarely get second day shipping. I guess they do not have them in my local storage house. Thanks for this increase of member fee, now I am wondering is it really worth it?

People, you should accept the news about Prime membership increase with understanding.
Amazon owner has additional expenses and needs somehow to cover them: "Historic Dutch bridge will be DISMANTLED so Jeff Bezos's newly-built £400m Y721 superyacht with three giant masts can pass through".
Don't be greedy, pay the bill and say thank you to Jeff for such great service creation.

It sounds like the membership is covering more and more services, but the only thing I need is free shipping. For people who does use other services, maybe it’s worthwhile.

what has changed? Have been paying $119 since 2019.....

Well salaries don’t keep up with inflation //@anonymous: Not sure why so many people complains of a $20 raise over $119 after 4-years. With such high inflation rates over the last few years, the $20 raise wouldn't keep up with the inflation.

I don't pay $20 extra dollars as the next guy - but Amazon is quite useful and gets things to you quickly. They haven't raised their rate since 2018 - I figured that was going to change this year with all other subscription based programs raising their rates as well. //@Anonymous: Same here. Will not subscribe any more. //@Anonymous: Same here. I’m done with this greedy company. Goodbye Prime! //@anonymous: Have been paying for Amazon Prime for 5+ years. Always believed (blindly) it was a deal because I buy a lot from Amazon. This price hike made me run the numbers again. Turns out free shipping on $25 is enough for my orders, and I don't rely on other Amazon services (Prime Video, which is getting worse; or Photos - never trust any cloud storage with "unlimited" capacity... look at Google Photos).

Really? That is why with 20 check out stands they only have 2 cashiers working and try and push everyone else to self checkout. That is why they are developing robots to stock shelves. Walmart would rather have ZERO employees, and find a way to pay ZERO taxes. //@Anonymous: I would rather shop at walmart because walmart is creating working positions and paying tax to goverment.

It doesn't matter how much they are making. The only thing matters to them is how much more they can make.
The only way to limit that is to take away their power. Stop buying from them and buy from alternatives.
They are no longer a good company. //@Anonymous: They are making so much profit and still people have to pay higher and higher prices.

2 day shipping. lol!!! Not since pre-covid.

If you don't care about timing, I agree with you, a prime is not really necessary.

By anonymous on 02/04/2022, 02:33 PM EST
Not worth it anymore. Amazon prime video is not worth more than 5.99 / month. As for free shipping, always get 25 dollars worth of stuff. Made sense when it was less than 100. Going to cancel, absolutely not worth the cost.

Good idea, thanks. Amazon also offers discounts for prime, if you’re a student or rely on Medicaid/Medicare. Not sure if those rates will rise too. I’m also beginning to question if Prime is worth it.

By anonymous on 02/04/2022, 01:39 AM EST
As a matter of fact, it was the opposite! Amazon was the one you couldn't rely on. Most orders got canceled. Unethical price gouging. Super late delivery even with Prime... you name it!
Walmart was the one who helped us during the early stages of the pandemic. //@anonymous: To be fair, you relied on Amazon during pandemic. Only Amazon delivery were fully functional last year. I do not like it, but I understand why.

Free shipping with Prime is not actually free when I found out the items available for free shipping cost higher.
I was looking for some aquarium items one time. Same item from different sellers. One is $10 more than the other and has next day prime free shipping, the other one is cheaper but free shipping won't be available till two weeks later. I do not complain for this but for the cheaper one I can pick it up from local whole food the next day which means Amazon can offer next day free shipping for the cheaper one but choose not to. //@Anonymous: Have been paying for Amazon Prime for 5+ years.

When I renew with the gift membership, do I have to set up a new account? I'd hate to lose all current settings if I have to switch to a different email. Seems like the gift card has to be sent to a different email address. So a different way to ask is if I can redeem gift card sent to abc@mail.com by def@mail.com
