Amazon prime raises subscription price amid rising costs

The price increase marks the first time Amazon has changed the price of Prime in the UK since 2014

Amazon has announced that it will increase the cost of its monthly Prime subscriptions from £7.99 to £8.99 from 15 September 2022, due to increased inflation and higher operating costs.

The price of the annual Prime membership will increase from £79 to £95, and this marks the first time Amazon has changed the price of Prime in the UK since 2014.
