Amazon Prime Increases to $119

Does it tell you somewhere how many orders you’ve place in the last year or do you have to count?

@jym626 Go to orders and right underneath it will ask you to select year and it will tell you how many orders you placed.

I select “ My orders” and it takes me to a list of the orders, and I can filter by last 30 days, 6 mos, or year. But it still takes me to the list, not a number. What am I doing wrong?

I have gotten pretty good at compacting them so it’s only one box on trash pickup day.

You must be viewing on mobile.

What I take issue with on the cost is that the shipping isn’t “free”. If you searched, often you could buy it for less, but pay the shipping. So I’m not sure it is such a great deal that way.

@hebegebe Please tell me you mean recycling day, right?

@itsgettingreal17 I am on my ipad.

Same day. Different container.

OK- am on the computer now: 18 orders this year (2018), 60 in 2017. That also includes some of my s’s, but he now uses his fiancees account a lot.

Both my kids, my son-in-law and my husband use my Prime and I do not see what they order.

I stopped using Amazon when Prime went up from $79 to $99 except if I have to send something from a registry and they are the only registry. One of the D’s was here and wanted me to watch Transparent with her so she signed up for a trial, we watched 5 or so episodes and she cancelled the trial. I wasn’t that vested in watching the show enough to trial it again although I would like to see the Mrs. Maisel show and I had heard that Mozart in the Jungle was very good but I guess I don’t watch enough that I would use it. Would never think to order non-perishable things as we do get those at Costco and as for the most part it’s just DH and I in the house. It takes a long time to use up many non-perishable items.

Really irks me. :frowning:
They have to increase everyone 20 feaking dollars??

@Wellspring, Don’t their orders show up in your order history?

The four of us use one Prime account. It started when one of the kiddies got a student account, and we just kept it. S is the primary account holder and he gets emails every time someone places and order. He just ignores them. And yes, if you all order from one account anyone can vie the order history.

We will keep it, we use it a lot. Now that AppleTV plays nicely with Prime it’s definitely worth the cost.

An increase of $20/year can easily be recouped by driving past the fru-fru fancy schmancy coffee shop just four times and not purchasing the $5 whappa-frappe-dappa goopy drink.

We use Student Prime - should have that option for another 3-4 years. We don’t order a lot, so if we had to pay $119 it might make more sense for us to just do it on a monthly basis when we need it. Between shipping, video, music, and free books, we get $49/59 worth for sure.

I am hooked to Amazon. And Zappos. And eBay.

For brick and mortar, Target.

Shifting profits from SBUX to AMZN? :slight_smile: Every time something goes up in price, the first suggestion is less coffee, but somehow that does not happen… people just keep buying the overpriced gloop.

You can set up more than one user under Amazon Household which allows 2 users to use the same account but keep their purchases private.
