Amazon Prime subscription price, will grow strongly in Spain from September 15. The price hike was already talked about and pointed out when we announced the price hike for the United States, and we envisioned that the same thing would eventually happen in all countries where Amazon operates.

The reasons for changing the subscription are the same in all regions, the increase in costs: “a general and substantial increase in the level of expenses due to an increase in inflation that affects the specific costs of the Prime service in Spain and is caused by external circumstances beyond Amazon’s control”cites the company.

Although the shutdown of the COVID pandemic saw a significant increase in online shopping and Amazon achieved windfalls in revenue and profits, it also had to spend additional sums to cover increased deliveries, pay bonuses and raises, and deal with supply chain problems.

From September 15, 2022, the price of new subscriptions will increase as follows:

• Monthly: from €3.99 to €4.99.

This is a significant increase, although it should be mentioned that it is about the first price increase since August 2018 and since then, Amazon has expanded both the services related to the e-commerce platform’s products and others that it offers that have to do with entertainment or storage.

Sure, the price so far has been really good what this service offers:
