Amazon Prime raises its price in Spain… and it’s something that had to happen
The Amazon Prime service has established itself in Spain as one of the most used among online stores. But it is that it offers much more, such as giving access to streaming video and music: Well, if you are one of those who have an account, you should know that the company led by Jeff Bezos has decided to increase the price of your subscription. Through an email to those directly affected, the decision has been communicated that increases its price by one more euro per month. In other words, the annual fee of 36 euros now becomes €49.99 (4.99 per month). It is not a very significant amount, but the truth is that it can be noticed in some pockets. It must be said that for some time there had been speculation that this would happen, and it has finally happened. Taking into account that since 2018 there has been no increase in the amount paid to be part of Amazon Prime, and to benefit from everything it includes, it must be said that this is not exactly one of the companies that abuses what it has what to do with changing the prices of the services it offers that goes from a video platform that is among the best that exist; going through having a space to save photos in the cloud; and, of course, being able to place orders without shipping costs and have access to some offers in advance in the online store. When will the increase in Amazon Prime take place? Well, as has been reported, it will be on September 15 when the subscription price increase will be effective, and it will be done automatically for both those who sign up for Amazon Prime as for those who have to undertake a renovation. Support is not withdrawn for any of the products offered by the online store in its subscription and, the truth is that the amount is not as powerful as that suffered not long ago in the US, where the cost was increased by 20 dollars per year . The reasons that have been put forward by the company for the price increase are an improvement in what it offers, such as higher quality content on its streaming video platform and, in addition, more options in its stores such as the power place fresh food orders in some cities. In addition, inflation is also behind this decision, according to Amazon, which leads it to carry out the same operation in other countries such as Italy, France or the United Kingdom. Will this price increase be a problem? Obviously, it is possible that some users do not want to maintain the service with the price increase, since inflation also affects them, but the amount may be acceptable to many. More so if you take into account all the benefits that Amazon Prime offers, which are many and that you can learn about at this link (where you also have access to the use you have made of your subscription and, in this way, you will be able to clearly assess whether it amortizes you or not bear the new price of the service). >
