Just cancelled my prime membership. In truth, I haven't been buying enough from Amazon to justify it, but it isn't something I think about all that often.
Then they emailed me last week saying "hey, we'll be introducing ads to Prime on July 1st"
Yeah, nah. I can't justify that. What surprised me though is that it was moderately easy to cancel. I thought cancelling was needlessly complicated and they just got in trouble about that.
so I buy quite a few things through prime (when I can't buy them locally - am subsidising elderly dad's retirement hobby): I have not received a price increase notification...
That's a good point. They didn't word it like that.
But also:
I think I still would have cancelled had they said 'we are increasing the price by $3, but you can stay at the current price and get ads'. But I believe that's how Netflix would have worded it.
Cancelled mine immediately after they asked me to pay like $25 to view the movie I signed up to prime to watch
