Amazon is increasing the price of its Prime membership starting Friday, Feb. 18. Now, the yearly subscription is getting a $20 price hike from $119 to $139 and the monthly fee will go up $2 from $12.99 to $14.99.
Today is the last day to get the membership at current prices before the increase goes into effect for new members tomorrow. Current Prime members will see the price increase beginning March 25, or whenever their subscription renews.
This price change won’t affect the stand alone Prime Video subscription, which will remain $8.99 per month.
