Shoutout to Fool.com for this super dope and helpful article. The price for Amazon Prime will increase to $139 per year. There are several ways to save money and NOT pay the $139 per year fee.
One option is to split the cost in half with a roommate.
You don't have a roomie? No problem. Sign up ASAP then!! If you lock in the current Amazon Prime price, it will NOT go up for you until 2023. You'll get the regular $119 fee.
You can also get the student discount if you have an active .edu email.
There's also Government assisted programs that qualify for financial assistance.
If you already have a Amazon Prime account, the price increase will kick in after March 25th on your next renewal date. The monthly price will increase to $14.99 per month.
