    Availability of benefits may vary by region... What Prime benefit is your favorite? We have found since we don't order from Amazon as much as we used to that Prime Video is the primary benefit that keeps us renewing each year. Even with the membership increases, we think it's still a decent value overall. Your mileage may vary. 😃 Thanks for watching!

      @@cdavila1142 It's not that people are "making a fuss about everything," it's that the service has drastically gone downhill over the past couple of years, yet the membership fees has gone up. I had Prime for years, but stopped paying the annual fee when I no longer got my shipments when I was supposed to. *Occasionally* I sub for a month if I know I'll be buying a few things that'll make up for the cost of shipping, but I won't do the yearly sub anymore.

    The new $179 price may not be worth it to me because I am supposed to get two day shipping and a lot of time I don't . USPS and Fed Ex are horrible about delays so why should I pay a higher price when they use those shipping services. They used to us UPS a lot and had no issue because UPS is generally on time. Mine comes due end of year so may not renew it.

    For over 10 years I paid for Amazon Prime but I finally quit spending the outrageous $139 a year membership fee this past year. I find that waiting until I have $25 or more in an order to still get free shipping and waiting a few extra days to get stuff has been no big inconvenience. This month I am still getting a subscribe and save order because I still pay for a UPS box so I can use Amazon for big stuff but I am thinking of switching to using the free Amazon Lockers that only accept most small packages (and no subscribe and save). Many online retailers allow free pickup at their stores so I could still get big stuff, just not thru Amazon.

    I’ve ordered some gifts for Christmas however nothing got to my home in 2 days. But and a Big But, Amazing TV is Awesome. I’m going to reduce my Cable Plan and go with Amazon. I have already cancelled all streaming plans. Just Amazon TV alone worth it regardless of any other benefits. I had no idea Amazon TV is this good. I just hope the 30 day free trial is not different than the real Amazon TV being offered. That would be extremely disappointing and I would most likely cancel.

    It's good to know that there are other benefits, because I rarely get the actual 1 or 2-day delivery and when they give me a firm delivery date in, for example a week, they've rarely been on time, even for that. So, maybe it's the same with these other benefits; you don't actually get what they promise.

    Amazon prime does not offer free shipping. Their pricing is at minimum 3.00 more than other places. It’s been that way since the inception. The timing of deliveries are not 2-3 days. It’s very sloppy compared to when Jeff Bezos ran it. But they do have some good shows and they keep getting new good programs…. So I’m not sure I’ll decide year to year if I keep it.
