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.)

Their profits are so astronomical, they could easily afford to improve this, but they choose not to.
Chances are good I'll hang on to it then though. Prime gives me *just* enough to make it worth it to me. (I'm including The Expanse and now Reacher in there with it.)
I weigh out the options every year and while this made me think about it a bit more, the price increase not affecting me made my decision that much easier. But that's just me.
looks to me, I am fine for this year?
