Amazon just announced price increases for their Prime membership plans. The updated pricing will apply to Prime sign-ups starting on February 18, 2022. This means that the yearly membership will increase from $119 to $139/year, and the monthly membership from $12.99 to $14.99/month.
For Prime Student members, the price of the monthly membership will increase from $6.49 to $7.49/month, and the price of the annual membership will increase from $59 to $69/year while qualifying EBT and government assistance recipients membership price will increase from $5.99 to $6.99/month.
Would you renew at this rate?
Note that for current Prime members, the new prices will apply after March 25, 2022, on the date of their next renewal.
How To Skip The Price Increase?
Fortunately, we found an awesome way to keep the same price for at least another year even after the increase! You need to be quick since you can only do it before February 18th. See steps below:
- Buy yourself an annual Prime Gift Membership
- Go to the Prime membership plans to disable auto-renew
- Click ‘Manage Membership’
- Click ‘End Membership’
(Opt to click on ‘Keep My Benefits’ to keep your Prime membership in effect until it expires) - Once your membership expires, just apply the Gift Membership to your account and get another full year of Prime for just $119!
😩😩😩😩
Wow 😞, thank you for the update
You’re welcome Alisha!
They are going to price themselves right out of the hones of many people. Cox cable got cut already for making these same choices. we’ve done without prime before and we’ll do without again. Greed gets you nowhere .
I’m out. Jeff Bezos became a trillionaire off the backs of his employees during a pandemic. This is not about increased operating cost. It’s greed.

Oh no these prices are increasing too much not sure if it’s worth it Anymore
I probably won’t renew at the higher rate. As it is their 2 day delivery has pretty much disappeared. I’m lucky if I get my stuff within the week.
So upset about it but it’s so hard to let them go 😑😑😑😑😑
Smart way to keep the $119 annual fee – thanks!
Noooo!!!!
Nice! Thank you for letting us know
You’re so welcome!
