Amazon Prime: Subscription will probably be more expensive

Amazon is changing the terms of service for the Prime subscription. Prime subscribers are currently receiving an email from Amazon informing them of this. Specifically, this means that passages that relate to a possible change in price have been adjusted. This could be an indication that Amazon will soon make a price increase for the Prime subscription.

Similar procedure as with Amazon Music

The group recently took a similar approach to Amazon Music. On April 21, 2022, the Amazon Music Terms of Use were changed. Here, too, future price increases were the reason. Because on May 21, 2022, the new changes came into effect and on May 23, 2022 Amazon raised the fees for Amazon Music Unlimited for Prime customers.

This schedule could also be applied to the Prime subscription. The changed terms of use will come into effect on July 11, 2022, so the subscription price could become more expensive as early as July 13. This means that subscribers have a little less than a month to cancel their subscription free of charge. The subscription would then continue under the previous conditions until the end of the contract period. If the user does not object to the new terms of use, the subscription will continue under the new terms, as Amazon indirectly obtains consent in this way. Amazon’s Prime subscription currently costs 69 euros in an annual package. If you only want to pay monthly, you have to pay 7.99 euros per month.

Amazon Germany explained to Golem: “We have updated the Amazon Prime Terms of Participation to provide even more detailed information on how and when we can make changes to these terms, to our Prime service or to the conditions for Prime membership”. . Amazon also stated that the company has “nothing to announce at this time”.
