Renew your membership before prices increase!

Effective May 11th, the price of a new Amazon Prime Yearly Membership is increasing from $99 to $119 per year – bummer! 😩 This means you’ll now be paying an extra 20% per year for your Amazon Prime benefits.

If you have an existing Amazon Prime Yearly Subscription, your cost for renewing will increase to $119 starting June 16th.

On the fence about a membership with the price increase? Here’s why we LOVE Amazon Prime:

    My subscription isn’t up for renewal until end of November. I won’t be charged the new rate until November not in June correct?

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      That is correct. You won’t be charged the new rate until you renew again.

    Does anyone know if the Family & Friends benefits will stay with this new rate? I’m able to get free prime shipping from a friend now.

    I heard they are building a second headquarters as well as getting their own delivery trucks. I love amazon, but I don’t love any company getting soooo big. I’m on the fence but I’m leaning towards a no..

      Same here. Quit my membership a while back, and I shop elsewhere whenever I can.
      Amazon is convenient in many ways, but service and product quality will only get worse if they keep buying out or keep suffocating smaller businesses. The produce is getting worse at my local Wholefoods, Amazon stopped price matching, etc.
