If you have a grandfathered account (multiple people), you cannot use this to renew without losing grandfathered account status
(Not sure if a question belongs in the wiki, but for someone who had several folks grandfathered in, how can we check to see that they still are? There used to be an Amazon page that showed their names, but I can no longer find it.)
You can purchase multiples but they must be purchased one at a time
There is sales tax applied to this purchase

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.)

Account does not expire, it keeps your history and orders and whayt not, just that "prime" will stop.
Would love to know..
Non-grandfathered accounts share payment info and the number of people that can use it is more limited (2 people)
I read your post 3 times but am not sure what your question is.
My local stores usually dont have stock of items or get sold out. I always try to buy local if available and try to pm with amazon but not having stock is a pain. Plus how many stores would I have to search if I need a item like eg. Universal TV stand for 65 inch TV or a HVAC filter of specific size of my unit not sold at MSRP?

I guess it doesn't matter though, I just checked and it looks like I'm not grandfathered anymore. I thought I still was but I'm only seeing 'members of my household' when I check my account. When looking at my Prime receipts for membership it looks like there's a gap between 2014 and 2018. I think this is when they were giving free year of Prim with the Prime phone purchases and I remember buying a few and reselling them, I think using those free year links/codes essentially did what this gifting of membership did and did away with my grandfathered plan.

So, you used to have additional accounts attached to your Prime membership as grandfathered? What happened to them? You didn't notice until now... Didn't they mention to you about no longer having Prime memberships under your main Prime account (although they were paying you for theirs)?
