Amazon Is Raising The Price Of Prime Membership Immediately—WHAT Is Happening!
February 8, 2022 by Marissa Matozzo
Amazon just announced on February 3rd that the company’s Prime membership price will increase from $119 to $139 per year in the United States, as it informed customers in its earnings report last week.
This means that the price of a monthly subscription will also increase from $12.99 to $14.99. The last time that Amazon increased costs for Prime was back in 2018 when the annual membership went up from $99 to $119. This most current price change represents a 17% increase.
The company said in its report that this price change is due to “expanded Prime membership benefits,” like more movie and show content for Prime Video and expanded free, same-day shipping to compensate for rising costs of labor and transportation in its distribution.
