Hey, why not? Everything else is going up.

The 5% back I get on that card more than pays for my annual Prime membership.
I got in under the wire too as mine membership just renewed today.My prime membership [-]is about to renew in a few days[/-] just renewed as it happens!
It was inevitable because of higher shipping costs.
Here's an interesting strategy I read about:
I haven't tried this, but it looks like it should work.
I don't buy enough from Amazon to make Prime membership worthwhile. The membership fee is perhaps 1/10 of the total of my annual purchases from Amazon.
When I buy, I bundle enough items on one order to get free shipping. I don't get the stuff the next day with this free shipping, but I rarely need anything that urgently.
On February 3, 2022, we announced price increases for our Prime membership plans. The updated pricing will apply to Prime sign-ups beginning on February 18, 2022. For current Prime members, the new prices will apply after March 25, 2022, on the date of their next renewal.

Can't find "cancel auto renew" on my Prime settings anymore.
It was either switch to monthly billing (instead of annual) or cancel Prime altogether.
Anyone have a direct line to an Amazon page that will let me cancel auto-renewal?
Just saw the announcement. You knew it was coming!
No point for us. All we ever do is buy stuff, none of the other add-ons. We always buy enough to qualify for free shipping, and more than half the time we get the product within 3 or 4 days anyhow. Last time I bought chocolate it was late in the afternoon and I got it delivered the next day.

This pretty much describes us as well. I did get their credit card to get a $50 amazon credit. Card got hacked before I even used it. Got new card and have still not used it. Should just cancel it I guess. Honestly, I don't find their prices all that cheap anymore but you can find pretty much anything there.
This is how we operate also. I do see a change with this way of doing business with them at some time though.
Same for me.While it is true that you can find anything on Amazon, I have often found better prices on eBay
