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.)

It's not like inflation took a big chunk out of their margins and they are raising fees to get back to normal. They are already making more money than ever, and higher fees mean that profit number keeps going up.
Yes, if you still go to the clubs in person and you get all/most of your groceries like 2-3 dozen eggs, and 4 gallons of milk a week, etc., I can see the value. It's the same if ppl don't utilize all /most of Prime features, it's not worth it. If it's just for shipping, Prime isn't worth it (hence Walmart+ is gonna have a hard time).
And your life insurance is free? You're paying for Prime just like everyone else.
If so fakes are still getting mixed like sd cards for example?
So I just order a gift of prime to myself set the send date to today and click claim on it after my prime cancels/expires I'm assuming that's the correct way.

Please let me know where do you see such option?
Do you see an option Manage Membership on the top right? I think that should have the option to cancel your membership before the next renewal date.
Although, as a package deal is financially OK, annual prepayment to get chained into a single service provider is exactly why we hate the cable TVs

But I probably don't really even need prime shipping anymore. Been on Prime for so long I don't know how long it will take without prime. I get most prime orders next day where I live, but I usually can wait longer. Plus I hate Amazon, mostly due to their abysmal packaging, and would rather buy items elsewhere if available with a similar price. Unfortunately a lot of stuff I buy isn't sold elsewhere.

Just end membership. It will state that you will continue benefits until the end date and won't renew.
