Rumor has it Amazon will be increasing their prime membership to $139.

The price of Amazon Prime Membership will increase from $119/year to $139/year. The change will occur sometime in the next month or so (possibly on March 1, 2022). Prime Student price is also increasing from $59/year to $69/year.

Suggestion

You can lock in the $119 price by purchasing a Gift of Prime membership. These cost $119 right now and they never expire – set your Prime membership not to auto-renew by cancelling the membership using the 'Manage My Membership' tab, and then when it expires you'll apply the Gift of Prime to your account. (You won't lose your full current membership year when cancelling membership, as will be clear on the final screen; they even give the option on the final screen to 'pause' membership.)

Come on man. This increase is a 16% increase since 2018. Inflation over years: 2019 (2.3%, 2020 (1.4%), 2021 (7.0%). Be smarter about your assumptions.

Yes. Years ago I made the mistake of letting my account expire so that I can use a prime membership code I bought on sale. Found out after I was no longer on the grandfathered plan. My family members were booted.

Quote from PaulP6715 :
it's exactly the same price at $139 once you account for inflation since the last price change in 2018. I personally find Prime to be wellllllll worth its cost.

Imagine the worst case scenario, then take a wild guess.

Quote from xtrabad :
I've been on the fence for some time about ditching Prime. Service has become sketchy, food is not always fresh, and a few times since the pandemic Amazon has even sent used, counterfeit, or completely wrong items.

I do use Prime video quite a lot however, not a Netflix fan, so that is what keeps me hooked. Decisions, decisions ….
Just today return an item which was bought as new but delivered open box with missing stuff. This has happened 4th time with me now
