Amazon has increased the price of yearly Prime membership by $20. Become a Prime member before the price-hike and claim your membership at old price.

Amazon recently announced that their Prime membership program now has more than 100 million members worldwide. That’s a surely a promising number. In a letter to shareholders, Amazon-boss Jeff Bezos said that his company shipped more than five billion items with Prime worldwide. More new members joined Amazon Prime in 2017 than in any previous year.

Now, Amazon Prime members in the US have a surprise price-hike waiting for them. The online giant has announced that the yearly price of Amazon Prime membership will be increased by $20 – taking the price from $99 to $119. This move comes after a similar hike in monthly Prime membership.

Amazon’s Chief Financial Officer, Brian T. Olsavsky justified this move saying the “value of Prime to customers has never been greater. There [are] all kinds of new features that we’ve continually added to the Prime program. It’s much different than it was in 2014, and this is a reflection of that.”

New Prime price will come into effect from 11th May. Existing members will see the new fee applied to their renewals starting June 16th.
