Friends,
My Amazon Prime membership expired in 1st week of December. I have been a prime member from the time they introduced in India but after an incident of purchasing a expensive Sony Headphones (XM4) which came with a cheap, used Boat headphones – the return was such messy and the replacement was more embarrassment with a cheap Chinese headphones. I had to spend several months (calls, emails, etc) to get my money back and even now occasionally get calls saying they are still investigating the issue (I have shared videos of both unboxing from Amazon package).
I do like the convenience of Prime for quick deliveries but over time (apart from the negative incident above) I feel prices are higher (even after discounts) and many fakes ones. Wondering if 999 is even worth!
Said all of the above, I still feel the older 750 or so was the fair price.
Need thoughts from you, what is the cheapest way to renew the Amazon Prime membership Annually?

What do you mean with guarantee?
No cheap way anymore. They are paying 80-100 crores to an has-been bollywood actress using our money. That’s why everything costs more.
They will pay more to old washed up actors next and hike prices again.
You need to weigh the pro and cons and come to a decision. I’m a Prime customer and also use Prime Video and Prime Music a lot. With Prime reading I also read comic books on my iPad. I usually order maybe 1-2 times a month and it’s more for the convenience rather than discount .Overall for me it’s worth it.
I wasn’t aware of Prime reading – thanks for letting me know.
“Since the launch 5 years ago in India, Prime has continued to increase the value it offers members.”
Although useless to most but it still holds true.
I highly doubt they’ll reduce it.
Disney and Netflix are also same or expensive.
Plus Amazon is very aggressively spending on primevideo acquiring good studio and franchises.
Prime is worth it just because of the OTT in my opinion
Update: Went ahead and renewed Prime for another year. Got a 1k GV from HDFC Smartbuy to get a little discount (I know it isn’t much).
Paying for something is a very strange, painful concept in India. Especially when it comes to paying to watch something that is delivered over-the-air, be it music or video.
I don’t use Prime Video / Music that much – maybe once a month or two max. Primary usage is for Amz fulfilled delivery but of late – prices are high or quality is bad. FK does it for almost free.
Then there are so many hyper delivery apps for essentials like Dunzo, Swiggy Instamart, BlinkIt, etc.
There are some people who are doing for 500/600 with guarantee etc
Even I got it done on secondary(family) accounts so far good
It seems to be from Airtel postpaid offer they are doing
