With the COVID-19 pandemic showing us the perks of buying online, the numbers of Amazon Prime memberships have skyrocketed as people were drawn to the two-day shipping and the many other perks, including access to Prime Video.
Not to mention that students get to have the membership for half the price and, let’s be honest, what student likes to spend their time in stores when there are much more interesting things to do with their free time.
With the prices of the Amazon Memberships going up (from $119 to $139) we thought it was high time we look into the perks that they offer again. For some, this increase in annual pricing may have been a dealbreaker, but did they know all the perks that come with the membership, or did they just superficially use it?
Here we have gathered 10 perks that most people do not know come with their Prime membership, so you can take advantage of your membership to its fullest! In true frugal fashion, it’s all about shopping smarter!

I heard somewhere that Seniors over 65 get a reduced rate, is this true and if so, how much?
I am a senior ( age 82 ) and was inquiring about a senior rate since I am now being for a renewal. the invoice #018358089 was recently received.
How about offering a discount to seniors living on fixed incomes and how about veterans? I am a veteran and I work with veterans and they’re struggling, also.
These price hikes are starting to make me rethink this Prime thing. At some point, the cost starts to outweigh the benefits.
I will be cancelling my Prime Membership. To costly for what I use it for. I only do it for shipping with auto subscription but that is not as good as it use to be. Prices not consistent and sometimes I see where I could have ordered an item cheaper. I don’t use music, books, streaming services, or anything else it might offer. There should be an option for a price depending on what you use.
Time to seriously sit down and do the numbers. We’ve already learned that free shipping isn’t necessarily “free”. Videos aren’t the best And 139 is a big bite Inflation? Greed.
I use Amazon a lot since I am handicapped and can’t get out to shop frequently. It’s totally worth the annual fee for free and fast shipping, discounts on items I use, access to online books, and Prime Video (with great content) on my streaming service. An Amazon Fresh will be opening in my area soon and I’m looking forward to using that too.
They just billed my credit card for $149.00 for Prime. I am going to have to opt out.

Why are they saying I already made that comment I did. This is the first time I have ever even got on here.
