Amazon has published its fourth-quarter earnings report for the period that ended on December 31,2021, revealing, among other things, that it plans to increase its Amazon Prime membership price in the US. The subscriptions will increase from $12.99 per month to $14.99 per month for monthly memberships, and from $119 per year to $139 per year for yearly memberships. According to Amazon, this is the first time Prime membership rates have gone up since 2018. Hadrian/Shutterstock While the yearly plan will continue to offer a slightly better rate over the monthly option, the difference in annual cost increases between the two is only about $4, with a year of monthly payments rising by $24 while the yearly plan is up by $20. That being said, the overall difference in cost between the two plans does add up as you still stand to save about $40 with a yearly subscription versus paying for 12 months separately.
