Amazon to raise Prime subscription pricing in the US by $20-$40(update : raised to $99 yr)

[invincible1914]

They just sent me the email. Talking about $99 I'm about to hit them with the school email though

Edit:
We are writing to provide you advance notice that the price of your Prime membership will be increasing. The annual rate will be $99 when your membership renews on June 5, 2014.
Even as fuel and transportation costs have increased, the price of Prime has remained the same for nine years. Since 2005, the number of items eligible for unlimited free Two-Day Shipping has grown from one million to over 20 million. We also added unlimited access to over 40,000 movies and TV episodes with Prime Instant Video and a selection of over 500,000 books to borrow from the Kindle Owners' Lending Library.
For more information about your Prime membership, visit our Prime membership page.
Sincerely,
The Amazon Prime Team

[Gooseberie]

I'm getting charged $39 next month and For 2015 I'm gonna have to pay $49. I feel like I dodged a bullet here.

 

[STAN JONES]

i got the email too but the good thing for me is my membership just got renewed on the 9th so i wont have to pay the $99 until march 9th next year

I buy a lot of groceries from Amazon. It's Costco without wasting gas.

what's the quality like? are you buying produce as well? not having to go to the grocery store would be ​

 

[King Koopa]

Got the email, too. Good thing mine doesn't renew til Dec.

Lucked out and reupped at the student price last month so I'm good for a year

If we gotta pay an extra $20 they better add some better movies than shyt like Bloodsport 4 to instant video

I got the $99 email too... that's the highest I'll go. I love Prime and am constantly ordering from Amazon so the extra $20 will still be worth it for me but if it goes over $100 it'll be hard to justify.

[Primetime21]
