Amazon Prime monthly fee hiked

Amazon.com Inc. is looking to squeeze more money out of monthly subscribers to its free two-day shipping service, which could persuade many of them to sign up for annual subscriptions.

This has finally prompted me to cancel Prime.
I've had it for just over a year now, and never use it.

Why is anyone in SA buying it at all? Not worth it without the free shipping

I agree. I think people here have it for their movie/TV streaming catalogue though

Ad free twitch streaming I guess too

I get a lot out of prime, don’t mind the price increase

 

[backstreetboy]

Yearly is still same price. Why muck about with paying monthly?

Why would you subscribe to Amazon Prime when you live in SA?

Instead, here we have their Prime Video service which costs $2.99 for the fist six months and $5.99 thereafter. AFAIK this remains unchanged.

Agreed. Why pay for the more expensive US service when you're not going to be able to take advantage of it.
