Amazon has angered customers after firing off an unexpected email to its Prime customers. In the email, Amazon said that it would be increasing the cost of its Prime membership for both monthly and annual users.
Now, with customers threatening to cancel their subscriptions, Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has issued a stern warning to anyone with Amazon Prime. He tweeted: "Amazon Prime to hike price. On 15 Sept, the monthly membership price increases from £7.99 to £8.99, and annual membership from £79 to £95."
He added: "If you currently pay monthly, and want to keep it, if you can afford switch to annual now, to get next year at £79. Pls share." @de519n said: "I'm going to cancel Prime & Netflix and I also have YouTube that I pay for That’s £40 a month saved." @MrWButterfield wrote: "Just had the email. What a hike. Blooming cheek. Can't live without Amazon though. What to do?", as seen in Manchester Evening News.
