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!
Again! đ I need to stop buying stuff from Amazon đ
It seems like this is everything I saw on Netflix and hulu also going up everything but of everything but are salary
Done!
no
Nope Nope Nope, thanks for the heads up!
You’re so welcome!
They really should reimplement the 2 day shipping to account for the increase then it would be an easier choice. Iâm lucky if I see my packages within a week now. So annoying.
but are pay rates for their employees going up as well?
This is EXACTLY what I was just wondering.
What an increase! Will do your tip to save at least for a year. Thanks for the tip.
You’re so welcome! đ
im not sure i will dang the price is high enough how many billions do they need ? no i wont be using amazon if the price goes up. i guess ebay or Walmart it will be?
I seriously rethinking my prime membership. I don’t use any of the other things. I just use it for shipping. Even that I don’t get the “prime 2 day” on most of my purchases, so what’s the point anymore? As far as buying a membership and following your instructions to get an extra year at the current rate. I pay monthly bc I don’t have the money to pay the full amount all at once đ But it’s great for those who can!
