You don’t need to pay for a full Prime membership to save on shipping and other perks.
Amazon’s Prime subscription service has seen a few price hikes over the years, from $79 to $99 per year in 2014 and again to $119 in 2018. Since 2022, it’s been $139 per year.
Prime is free to join for 30 days for first-time subscribers, so you can try it without making a year-long commitment. Sign up ahead of Amazon Prime Big Deal Days on Oct. 8-9 or at the holidays to get free shipping on gift purchases and then cancel, for example. A monthly Prime subscription is $14.99, though if you plan to use it for any length of time, an annual fee is a better deal.
