Do Amazon Prime’s benefits outweigh the monthly cost?

Since 2018 Amazon Prime has doubled in size worldwide. It’s gone from 100 to 200 million in just 3 years, and its trajectory is ever-increasing in size. It’s available all over the world, in 22 different countries, and holds up as one of Amazon’s most popular features to date. 

So what even is Prime?

Amazon Prime is an Amazon subscription service that gives its users a lot of benefits, especially regarding shipping speeds. It opens the door for members to get access to Prime video, Twitch Prime, and Amazon drive all for free. A small yearly, or monthly, fee allows service members to also get great deals and benefits on all kinds of products, as well as free shipping and product assurance. 

My Prime Review

For just a little over $100 a year, these benefits sound great, and they are! I’ve been a prime user for well over 2 years now and I can say with complete assurance that it has been worth every penny. The benefits of Prime far outweigh the monthly costs. 

The shipping speeds and costs have been an immense benefit to me when it comes to online shopping. I can’t tell you how much easier shopping is now with the addition of Amazon Prime.  Free 2-day shipping has been much more of an aid than I thought it would be. Prime video has helped me discover all kinds of new shows and films I truly enjoyed watching!

So, should you get Prime? Even if you’re still hesitant you can always try out a free trial, but I can say with complete certainty that Prime is definitely worth the money.
