Amazon Prime Annual Price Increasing to $119

I'm not sure where to post this, but given that lots of people did a work-around the last time the price increased, I'm hoping we can do it again.
I was not affected last time as I was renewed before the hike, but this time it's looking like they're going to get me for the $20.
The price will increase from $99 to $119. The change goes into effect on
May 11th for new subscribers, so if you're considering prime... now is the time.
June 16th for existing members.

I'm hoping somebody that went through it last time can chip in with their experience,
successful or not.

Even at $120/year, it's still worth it for me.

If I save $20 this time, I'd like to.
If they decrease the price to $1.19, I might consider.

My Prime membership expires October 22. I just gifted myself a years worth of prime to begin the day after (October 23). I waited the extra day because their rules state if the recipient is already enrolled in prime they can use the $99 for a gift card. I may be reading the rules to literally but IMO better safe than sorry! I also printed out the invoice showing my email as the gift recipient and the start date.
Amazon said that that will just be considered a $99 GC so in order to enroll in prime, you will still have to front the extra $20.
While I always hate spending more money for the same service, Amazon actually continues to improve their service at the same time. I get a lot of extra shit which makes it worth it. I easily save $500 a year on shipping alone, not counting the time saved, so even without the service extras, I'd be making out pretty well at the new price too.
