So basically you have to order three things in a year to make your money back on shipping instead of two.

smh, my prime membership expires shortly after the increase

New users will have to pay $119 for Prime starting on May 11, though existing Prime members will have until June 16 to renew their membership at the current $99 price-point.

Well, okay, I guess.

Eh, my wife currently has one and so do I so we can consolidate without much increase.

Happy that the Amazon workers can get more money.

Amazon is a great service.

He's saying that the cost of the prime membership is balanced out by the free 2-day shipping.

They changed the rules on game discounts to only include a standard editions of the game. That's what I was referring to by them dropping stuff.

So they've dropped stuff and increased the price $20.

You don't seriously think that this price increase is going to go into the workers pockets. None of the overworked grunts in the warehouses, trucks, or offices are going to see any of this.

Still well worth it. For all the stuff I order I still save a bundle on two day shipping, and don't have to worry about finding cheap items to get free shipping. There's also the benefit of packages not changing hands as much with two day.

It only works for 4 years. Better find someone who wouldn't mind tying you to their account.

I don't understand the "dropping features" part but that is shit.

They already neutered their game discount program beyond making it useful for useful for me. I buy things a lot less from Amazon these days.
