Amazon, Consumer News
A couple days ago I saw that Amazon.com is considering bumping up the price of their Prime Membership by $20 or $40 bucks. It is currently $99 annually, so it will potentially be $109 or $119 per year. This story got me thinking about the Prime Membership, which for those of you that don’t know, gives members unlimited free 2-day shipping, some free Kindle books every month, and access to Amazon instant streaming (think Netflix after it got shot, run over, then run over again). Is it worth the money every year? Does it make you overspend? Does it make you a lazy shopper? To those 3 questions I say No, Yes, Yes. Keep on reading to see why…
1. Amazon Already Has Free Shipping on $25+
