I'd pay $120 just to watch 'Bosch" on Amazon Video!

This is exactly the misapprehension that I referred to above. It's the first increase in four years.I could see 5% to offset the operating cost due to inflation but 20%?
5% at Whole Foods as well.Oh yeah, the 5% store card is also for prime members only, isn't it? So that's a 3% benefit over my regular 2% back. I'll have to do the math on my purchases, but that goes a long way toward the $119. So I'll probably keep it.
The 20% is math. Actually, it's 20.2%. Nothing misleading about that.Calling this a 20% increase is misleading since it is the first increase in four years. Adjusted for inflation, Prime costs roughly the same now as it did in 2014, and offers so much more than it did then. I'm surprised they waited as long as they did to apply this increase.

Would you prefer a system of annual increases instead? If reactions are shaped by misapprehension like this then we can surely expect to see a change to annual increases.
Yes, free standard, over $35 (though that does change sometimes). It's slow standard though, they often don't actually ship the item for a week.
Hmm, here's what my Prime settings show, when is this hike supposed to go in effect?
Next Payment:
On September 04, 2018, you will be charged $99.00 for a year of Prime.

This year they started giving back 5% on Whole Foods purchases. That's a benefit worth more than $20 if you were previously getting 2% back on another card and spend more than $675 in a year (rounded).
Math can be misleading if it is incomplete. It's 22% over four years .5% at Whole Foods as well.

I didn't comment about what you posted. Perhaps you meant to quote some other post? What I posted is what I just posted again.Huh?
Not sure what you mean by "complete", but if you want to look at average annualized rate of increase, you might consider staring in 2005, when A*Prime was introduced (@$79).Math can be misleading if it is incomplete. It's 22% over four years .

This is getting pointless, so I'll let you have the last word.But then you get into the equivocating factors of the services added and enhanced since then.
