I've been a Prime member since 2005 when the yearly cost was $79, and I just cancelled my membership today. Only reason I had it was for faster shipping, but shipping times haven't been the best in the past couple of years. $150 (with tax) is not worth it for me. Camel's back has been broken.
Great video, Michael! I remember that just a few years ago Prime was $99/yr. Then it was $119.00. Now it’s $139. We don’t watch Prime Video content all that often. Amazon keeps nudging us to consolidate deliveries into one ‘Delivery Day.’ And sometimes, Amazon sends our orders via USPS, which means that occasionally we have to go to the Post Office to pick up our packages. So…hmmm. You gave us something to think about. Prime isn’t looking like such a deal anymore.
I miss the days of $99/year Prime too!
TBF the 119 to 139 increase is inline with the record inflation during this administration.
After a few years, I will rethink my subscription
I don’t think that it is so great as I can get music etc or already pay for services elsewhere.. I’ll think on it
Maybe the price will come down again if they just separate prime video from Amazon prime.
Always appreciate you breaking things down. You’ve helped me make decisions that just seem to be overwhelming. Cord cutting was so confusing and I resisted it way too long. Thankfully you gave a lot of great advice on that. I can honestly say I wish I did it a lot sooner. ☕️
I will not renew my Amazon subscription , I almost never use Prime Video, shipping is taking longer + longer
I agree 100% and plan to do the same.
That makes 3 of us. I have streaming services because I HATE ads. They require double the time and push junk I am not interested in. Now I have to pay for ad free viewing, it’s no longer worth it. In addition my shipping is NEVER 2 days anymore.
This is my go-to channel for keeping up with the latest news on all things streaming. Thanks, Michael!
$139 yes, but in Maryland I pay an additional 6% sales tax, so Amazon Prime is really $147. Because of your video, I decided to NOT renew my Amazon Prime. I have been getting less and less items on Amazon, less Subscribe and Save items (not always cheaper either), and hardly ever watched Prime Video. Thank you for this video.
The shipping isn't even two day anymore. I've waited over a week for some items.
Yep it's greedy Democrat do as I say not as I live my life Bezos screwing his employees and customers with low wages and trash delivery times.
@@shanew7361 Shut it with your political crap. Bezos is a greedy capitalist. Period.
THAT was my biggest issue for not renewing after having prime for years! Super slow shipping even with prime. Also most of the vids are old or b quality at best. The other thing is the price increase. Funny how the prime service has almost doubled since it started, and the quality has gone down..like most things these days.
I have been spoiled by Amazon Prime for years. I buy monthly and can receive in 1-2 days for a lot. Prime Video rarely, sometimes Amazon music, Amazon Pharmacy is helpful. STILL, the new price is ONLY decent if paying annually if trying to budget, that hurts. BUT, for me, getting assistance allows me an immense discount. 5.99 monthly, and that will only increase by $1. I can do that! Thank you for your videos, always so helpful!
Thank you Michael you have such great points and made me see clear, thank you for the advice.
I have been trying to figure which subscriptions I am keeping and this was a good way to check. Thanks
Very great video. Helped me with my decision!
I rely heavily on Amazon since I had to give up driving. I generally find what I need at a price that compares well with Walmart, Target, and other stores that provide free shipping with a minimum order. I watch Prime Video occasionally, and sometimes find a decent free book on their preview list. Mostly, it's about the shipping. I'll probably renew, but have until September to decide.
I would say you would save money by planning ahead with the shipping. I stopped the membership a few months ago and been feeling so good that I don’t waste money. However, if you can find ways to save or counter the price of prime then great, prime is for you.
I have friends who are long time Amazon prime fans, but I have never tried it and don't plan to start. I've never paid a penny for shipping and I almost always get my order in 3 to 5 days. Anyway, I didn't know about those other perks until now. Thanks for the video Michael. 🙂👍
Do like I did for a while when money was tight, I did the monthly plan. I would pay for it one month get all the items I need, Then cancel it the next month during the month that I cancel just put items in the cart that I want to get, sometimes if the cart is over $35.00 they ship for free if not I just wait until the following month and pick it up again..
Great video and education. Thanks for sharing.
If you get EBT or food stamps you can get it monthly for around $7.00 for prime service
My use of Amazon is finding the products at one stop of online shopping. Yes buying a few items direct from some vendors will quickly eat up that PRIME membership cost due to the minimum shipping cost. And yes the cost of fuel has gone WAY UP so not making trips is a savings. Wish fuel cost will go down to save me and all shipping services too!
Great video! Thank you!
Great points. I'm a Prime member, but the price increase will likely have me cancelling. I used to watch Prime video a lot, but these days I rarely watch anything there, so the free shipping isn't enough to justify the price increase to me.
I'm guessing this never happened lol.
Thought I never even considered taking the yearly option so I've been paying monthly for years. REALLY Haven't been saving money!
I receive prime video because I use MetroPCS as my phone carrier love all the different choices of programs
Great video. Thank you.
I use Prime video & music almost daily. Also as an avid reader, I take advantage of First Reads & Prime reading.
well said sir. a couple other things to consider for some people would be "do I impulse spend and buy things I don't really need" . "do I drink and prime LOL"
Nobody has mentioned of the taxes they add to your Amazon prime. For instance, I pay yearly and last year it was $119 and when that renewal came up, I ended up owning $127. I have until June 2022 to decide if I should keep or dump, but the 2 day shipping is always late (I don’t have a close hub of Amazon in my state), yeah I have called up to complain and then get credit. My question is, if I cancel is my wishlist gone? What else disappears? Can we still use Alexa?
Thanks for this video, first time seeing it.
Its worth it to me alot of perks. Plus i like Wheel of Time great show
Thank you for the video didn't even know that they had all these other add Ons
We don’t even get Two-Day shipping on most things anymore because their deliveries are always inexplicably late
I cancelled, Walmart plus isn't necessary it's really if you want groceries. If you spend $35 you get free delivery the same or next day. I still do some subscribe and save with Amazon. The only thing I miss is the 5% back on the Amazon card
I just renewed my yearly Amazon prime and it was $129. I order a lot from Amazon and watch quite a few shows but I’m not sure if any of the online video subscriptions are really worth it. I guess Hulu is prolly the best bang for the buck for me.
I have a college student discount which I only pay $56 annually. My family uses Amazon Prime a lot. I also use a lot of Amazon products like Firestick and Recast.
I do like their catalog of movies which it is quite surprised have a lot of classics that I enjoy. But I hate their UI because it is a mess.
Im in Canada and have Prime but when i buy items now and never get fast 2-3 days service anymore which is why i paid the premium. It takes on average 1-2 weeks now. Not sure i will continue.
What do I do if I have prime and it still makes me pay for shipping
Amazon has many items I cant find anywhere else.Downside is I havent had 2 day shipping in a while. Even order I made today shows expected delivery date 4 days out. I only watch Prime Video during football season it seems like and i know that will become much more starting this football season. Prime music gets used every couple of days, truthfully though I cannot justify paying more for prime during football off season and I am not sure if even during season will be worth $15 a month
My membership is up for renewal but lately I’ve ordered stuff from Sam’s and Walmart and have been satisfied with them. I think I will follow your advice and try to live without it for a while.
We moved from Castle Rock, Colorado to Wilmington, NC, and we almost always got 1-2 day shipping for that year in Colorado. Now we never get it. Everything is from 4 (if lucky) to 8 days or more. Is it due to the economy right now, or is it the State? We canceled as it's not worth it at all, even though we used prime video.
By the way, thanks for the video. I'll probably go for the lower price of standalone Prime Video when I stop binge shopping on Amazon. LOL.
I didn't realize you could pay for prime video only. I'm off the Amazon bandwagon but for $9 that's not too shabby to rotate with other services.
I've learned to live without prime. The new price hike has demonstrated that I don't use it enough to justify the cost.
What about THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL 😮! WHICH IS ONLY ON AMAZON PRIME 😳! Being able to watch football on Thursday for 17 weeks makes it a good deal if ur a football fan 👍. Plus u have movies u can watch if u want.
Starting this year you’ll need prime video for thursday night football
I do not see a way to only subscribe to Prime Video for $8.99 per month...??
Or save some more by sharing your prime with someone else that you trust. 😁
Thanks for the video Michael!
To me it hasn’t been worth it anymore every since the supply line issue. Alot of the times they can’t meet the 2 day delivery, if they even have the item on stock under prime. So maybe this year i’ll wait.
We use Amazon here on a daily basis especially for food and occasionally clothes. Prime Video isn’t worth it without all of the other perks it really isn’t. Most people are better off taking advantage of an actual membership. I use Walmart+ too since that’s a good alternative as well since Amazon sometimes doesn’t have all the groceries you’re looking for.
I used to get grocery delivery with Prime when I lived in Atlanta, so I know what you mean. Yes, it's worth it in that case for sure!
So in a country where Amazon shopping does not exist, Prime video or Netflix?
My wife and I both search for things on the same account at the same time and we found something out. We have a Prime Account. For some reason her settings have a Prime Free Delivery toggle. I don't. We were looking up a fuse box for a vehicle. She found it 88 dollars free delivery, shipped by Nov 28. I found it for 69 dollars with 17 dollars delivery, shipped by Nov 29 to Dec 4. Best case scenario, Prime gets your delivery there a bit quicker, but you are not saving on shipping. Is Prime a ripoff? One hundred plus dollars for movies?
Old movies, two day shipping in my area has gone to a week or more, and now they jacked up prime music!
How do I join Amazon and not Amazon prime?
I LOVE Amazon Prime and use it ALOT and couldn't do without it, and I keep paying the monthly fee for now since I can't afford the annual price... I use it for everything, even groceries, so to me, it's definitely worth it!
Exactly and some items are cheaper on Amazon than it is at target
You can’t afford annual prime membership but order groceries from Amazon! I think you doing something wrong. Groceries are considerably cheaper at walmart, aldi, kroger etc and variety is more. I would recommend visiting these stores for groceries and the money saved can go to prime if you need it for something else. Only true benefit of prime is fast shipping which they are no longer able to do after covid
Thanks for this video I shop at Amazon a lot was thinking of signing up to prime but I won't sign up now many thanks for your advice
Michael,
I originally got Prime mostly for the streaming movies. Now that they've moved SO MANY MOVIES to their ad supported IMDB service, it's becoming less and less a value for me. I REFUSE to watch movies with ads when I'm paying for a service. I'm still able to squeak by with enough ad free movie and show watching through direct Prime, but now my subscription value relies more on the other services. The free shipping alone, along with the discounts from having their Visa, makes it now worth it for me. So much money saved on gas. If this didn't offset the balance in a major way, I would've dropped Prime. Time will tell if the monthly price hikes take their toll, but for now, Prime is still a good value for me.
vgv
A friend of mine told me to get a VPN and TOR Browser and watch soap2day watch all my shows without the networks forcing me to watch commercials like watching Blue Blood on CBS they put them commercials in and make people watch them, cannot fast forward even show on TUBI that we like to watch does the same thing,,
price hikes to amazon might not be that common
But what makes me both concerned and a little dissapointed at amazon is that these price hikes have been coming at the consumer too much in waves
first it was the jump to 119
and now this 139 price
maybe its because of a couple of factors that are forcing these hikes
if they had a little more confidence in both the consumer and paying their workers, they would Lower the prices to a reasonable price
they need to be rational, rather than charging the consumer more, they should pay their workers more
Won't happen even though Bezos is a pretend Democrat. Typical Democrat more like it. Do as I say not as I actually do. I agree with you.
I don't think you understand a very simple understanding here, when you have to pay your workers more money, that will bring up price of the items they sell.
They don't magically have the ability to sell you a cheaper item when they're paying their workers more money.
Say what?
@@user-tp5yb4hr4w In other words, Amazon was able to give us all great pricing when they were underpaying their workers!
@@Wiser1FOREVER
Back then it wasn't underpaying, back then it was a competitive wage, however because inflation went up and every other item and Goods also went up along with taxes and everything else, they had to raise the price of the pay, but if you really think about it, they're really not earning much more than they were the dollar sign say it's much higher, but because everything else went up along with it, they're really not being paid that much more then what they were being paid before the pandemic and inflation.
Its funny looking back on this now, because it makes me laugh that we're just following the same footsteps as the movie Idiocracy LOL.
Maybe one day we'll have a $10,000 bill that's only worth $10 in equivalence lol.
I'll probably cancel my membership when renewal time comes around. Amazon isn't in any way as good as it used to be. I rarely get things delivered next day anymore, more like two or three days, unless I'm lucky enough for them to use USPS then it's usually longer...if I get my package at all. Just in the past few months I've had two different items stuck at a warehouse location, Amazon's response is I can order another free of charge if I wish to. So I ordered the replacements both times only to have the original show up later. Not to mention the quality of items on Amazon has gone way down. I will no longer buy anything that can be tampered with i.e. shampoo or fabric softener.
I think I’m not paying for my Amazon subscription, the shipping has not been the same as before. Items typically take 2 to 3 days to arrive even with my Amazon Prime. I don’t think it’s worth it anyways at least not as much as it used to be. Thanks for this video!
I've heard that from a lot of people recently about the shipping. Hopefully that gets worked out soon.
A year later and that issue persists. I think I’m going to cancel and get it back if I need it.
I have it for one dY shipping and same day shipping
Nice overview. I watch prime video and our house uses the video game extras so it's worth it. I do qualify for the low income Prime membership so that makes all of it well worth it.
Yeah it's still worth it .. we order something nearly daily plus we watch Prime Video.
Living in the U.K. we haven’t had the price hike so £79 is great value for me
I paid for the yearly membership when it was $119.00. I cancelled my membership renewal when they tacked on $20 to $139! Now they're charging $179??? That's absurd to say the least!
Do I get to download free music for free?
In 2022 UK it’s £7.99 per month or £79 year =£6.50 p/m
Hi Michael,
Thanks for putting this together.
I have a question, and it's likely not a mainstream one.
If someone has an annual prime membership, however tries to stream Amazon Originals out of the US with or without a VPN,
will they be blocked? I know Netflix Originals, and if I'm not mistaken Disney+ programming will work internationally.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, or perhaps using my question as a topic for a new video.
Have a good week,
Delfino
Let me look into this. And if anyone sees this comment and knows the answer, please reply!
@@MichaelSaves Sounds great!
There are supposed to 53 thousand movies, I cant find them?
I had membership since long time ago it was the best but since the pandemic and after its no longer a 3-5 days and the service got poor with packaging so I quit but I do want to watch a movie so how can I? It 2 that's the one I want to see
In my opinion, it feels as if it pays for itself. You can get your orders within a day or two and there's good stuff on Prime video. "The Boys" convinced me to sign up. Your channel has been hitting the game winner as of late.
Unfortunately Amazon prime service costs are raising, and it becomes unaffordable 😥
Hum, considering my shipping is already 5-8 days from them w/ Prime it doesn't seem very worth it.
Over the last two years they have slid our time back further and further till now I don't even remember the last thing I got in under a week.
I think I might be out..
Not really! One of the areas I look at is their snack pricing. This past year I can't help but note how they jack prices after they see you buying some things almost immediately after you buy it. That's where it's at for me. They started doing this earlier after I bought a product for the 2nd time within a short period between purchases. Now, they immediately jacked the price of a jerky purchase I made, so buying it again would cost me at least $3 more for the same purchase. Virtually everything, snack item or not in my recent purchase history has been jacked up in price, some things as much as 50%, with most at least 10% more...
Years ago Amazon was caught charging people who lived in wealthy zip codes more money for the same product than other people were charged. People figured it out and they were angry and Amazon stopped doing it. I wonder if you are being charged more money than other customers for the same products ?
@@style_icon997 I'm guessing that they do that automatically with everyone they can get away with it on! I have called them out on it on more than one occasion & saw them eventually change the price on one or two items back to my previous purchase price. Of course they almost immediately hike those prices again soon after I made another purchase, which makes me think they have a program in place that does that to any item purchased on a recurring basis...
I’ve been getting charged $16.47 per month for Amazon prime. That’s $197.64 per year. Also, it’s not a set date when is deducted from my account. In July was the 16th, in August was the 13th, and today September 6. I had Amazon prime for over 10 years. Not anymore, it’s not worth it for me anymore.
I like Prime Video because I can mix and match relatively low cost Prime Channels and they smoothly integrate with Prime Video itself. Along with Freevee, I get just about all the on-line content I want. It makes me wonder why I pay for Sling :) I should mention that I'm not a fan of original soap operas on streaming services. I am enjoying Billy the Kid on Prime but it's an exception.
Prime members are saying they no longer offer 2 day shipping anymore at Amazon, that it is taking longer.
Prime doesn't offer all movies, series with prime though. A lot of the movies I have on Amazon. I had to buy standalone. I live in the UK so I get same day and next day free delivery and buy stuff a lot. I don't use the music at all, but I use everything else.
Prime is why it's good to have metro by T-Mobile cus they give free Amazon prime so if I use video or not it's free don't order often but when I need it it's there free
This month I will have to make the decision. I think I will stay with monthly.
I don't use music because I know that it's a trial and I can get all I want here on
YT. I haven't used many of the features...yet. I do order but not all that frequently.
Thanks for another informative video. Always appreciated. 😊😊😊
Do like I did when money was tight, I would pay monthly one month get what I need then cancel the next month, during that month I just add it to my cart until I start up again so you are basically paying around $6.00 not the 12
@@altha-rf1et Interesting strategy I just might try it. Thanks ! 😊
Price hack to postpone the increase for the next year and extend your membership date, until your first order/use: Turn off your auto renewal of Prime membership, then buy the gift of prime prior to the price increase and hold it until your membership expires. Wait until you decide you want your first order and gift it to yourself and activate it, prior to order. This extends the start date of the service and you paid the pre-increase price for the membership.
We're done with Amazon in my household.
Amazon prime doesn't guarantee all videos are included in prime. Nor is all music content included. Fact not even the books. They all require separate fees if you want full Access.
Grocery , beauty , cold cough ect. commonly expired or near its expectation. Even pet food can be expired. Electronic items shipped partially opened or slightly used.
You have to purchase with great reservations. Run google searches prior to purchasing. Use the Google shopping filter to display results. You'll be amazed at how much money can be saved our side of Amazon. Keep in mind Amazon created eye candy convince store. With credit card purchasing and lets not forget tax free web purchasing. Well at the time if launching Amazon.
Consider this in your equations Credit cards earn interest. Web based purchased are now taxed. Most households over spend because easy to click and forget. Run your personal purchasing history of your past purchases.
Based in the additional price hike frim Amazon.
It woke me up and im shocked. Made the decision after watching this video for my household.
Amazon Prime week I'll sign up for 30 day trial. Or pay one month and cancel after Prime week.
You make a lot of good points, especially about some things being more of upsells (music, books, etc)
I think we'll be cancelling our account. The shipping has gotten REALLY bad. This last year it's been taking 2-3x longer for packages to be delivered. This last Christmas was terrible. Items we ordered on 12/11 that were 2-day shipping didn't arrive until over a month later. That was when we considered cancelling. Now that the holiday season is over, it still hasn't improved. At a certain point we'd rather pay for shipping and get things on time. At least that way we get reimbursed for the cost of the shipping if an item is unacceptably late.
Finally a guy that speaks English 😮💨
I've been trying to change my Amazon Prime membership to Prime Video only, and I can't find a way to do it or chat with someone at Amazon who can help me. 😡🤬
Any suggestions Michael?
I don't see it as an option from my account at the moment. I pay annually. But from the Contact page, click Prime, Manage or Cancel Prime, I need more help and then you can chat with them. Let me know if that works www.amazon.com/hz/contact-us/foresight/hubgateway-csp
@@MichaelSaves I don't get that I NEED MORE HELP OPTION.
Man they really make it difficult.
Finally got help.
Thanks Michael. 😊
I love Amazon ❤️. It makes me so happy 😊.
Yes
For me prime is worth it for the shipping alone. I do so much shopping there that the price of shipping would be much more than prime. And the way I shop doesn't lend itself well to waiting until I have enough items to meet the minimum requirements for free shipping. I guess I'm a bit impatient, but the convenience factor is also a big part of the equation for me.
I have prime. Actually thinking about cancelling it. Costing to much, plus they keep taking payments out when they shouldn't be 😒
Come on guys, I just read this article "Amazon profits nearly triple in latest quarter to $143 Billion". How are they expected to feed their families with only a $143 Billion revenue increase?
When was Amazon prime ever worth it?
Nope. As others have mentioned shipping is deplorable now. My sub is up next month but I already cancelled way before.
Sick of the 3 to 5 day shipping even though I pay for friekin prime
A couple other ways to save with Amazon is to get the Amazon Prime Credit Card which gets you 5% Cash back on purchases. And one of those purchases is your prime membership. Which brings the cost down to the $132 ($11 per month). And by taking the 5% as cash back (and applying it to your balance) instead of using it to buy more Prime stuff (which you would have bought anyway) it provides additional savings. I do think Prime is reaching that breaking point though and if it were to go above $150 I would personally have to take a hard look at it again. (I was lucky they my annual renewal was in December at the old price).
Credit card is not worth it stay away with them, I never had one, never will get one
@@altha-rf1et what is your reasoning? Just curious. As long as I pay mine off in full each month it seems to be a good deal. Takes discipline though.
I agree 150 and money in the trash can. Besides prime video is trash and rarely 2 day delivery anymore. Total greed at its best.
@@shanew7361 I like it well worth the 150 dollars, I do not have a truck when I order big items they deliver it to me, I needed a new shed so brought one on Amazon 300 pounds they delivered it to me, I would had to have rented a truck go pick one up or hae it delievered costing money
@@shanew7361 Also I have colon cancer have to order my bags from amazon they are cheaper there then medical companies, I get 20 a month from my insurance I order 20 that right there is a must have for me
I have recently tried amazon prime videos. I find that most movies are not triple A type, they are cheaply made, with horrible and i mean horrible acting, so bad, no matter how hard I try to see one all the way through, I wind up giving up, because I just can immerse myself in them. I get totally distracted by the horrible acting. I don't blame the actors, as some of them are experienced actors. What I believe is happening is that they are just reading their lines, they are not given any time to rehearse them, nor get into the character. I believe this is to rush new content, as that is what plagues most streaming services, providing new content to viewers.
I'm fine with amazon prime u get plenty of perks so if I had to pay the 15 dollars a month I wud be fine with it I'm not trying to wait days for my pack besides my amazon prime is through my cell phone company, so my cell gets paid my prime gets paid
My father pays for Prime (we are in the UK) he's been paying £79 for a while now. In regards to buying things, the £79 works out a hell of a lot cheaper than not with prime for our household (paying for delivery) That's not to mention Video and Music that get heavy usage on top of that. In our household it's an absolute bargain considering how many utilize the service to be completely honest.
Do you have to pay for shipping in the UK? In the US we don’t pay for shipping even without prime. Just need a above minimum order and a few days slower which is fine. I’ve been with Prime for years. Just stopped for a few months.
@@ctgaming168 With Prime it's free, without it's costs ex amount. The only exception is that it's a third-party seller.
@@ConnorTapley Oh wow that's brutal.
@@ctgaming168 yea, always got to look for the prime logo because it's free delivery.
Someone had to pay for those space trips 🧐
Love Prime!
It's prime video that's driving up price.
And I don't even I don't really think anyone that gets Amazon prime uses prime video at all.
It only pays if you buy alot from Amazon. Or you are a shut in with money in a serviceable area. Otherwise prime video is fine for me.
Just cause I use videos and shipping the most, for me I will stick with it but the prices are going outrageous
My points more than pay for the subscription!
Have no need for Prime... Our Amazon warehouse is so close by, almost everything comes in the next day. 🏁
It's still worth it for me
I stopped using prime after several years, I always get free shipping anyway although just a little slower. Never use Prime Video. Never use other perks.
Michael, I look forward to you covering CNN+
Hi Candy! I hope to review it when it launches. I want to share some other thoughts, perhaps this week. Thanks!
Not worth it for us. We don't watch or listen to any Amazon streaming services (mainly because our "High Speed" internet is little more than a trickle compared to city speeds.
We had Prime for faster delivery but have discovered that Prime delivery to us isn't any faster most of the time. We often get 2 day service out in the boonies with or without Prime.
Anything on Amazon that has an EXTRA delivery fee simply doesn't get ordered by us. There are far too many alternative products that do offer free delivery.
Guess we're spoiled now and there's no going back. It costs a fortune to gas up to go to the store. So, if it can't be delivered for free, we do without. No problem.
