40 Best Amazon Prime Benefits to Use in 2022

From the Kiplinger website

With annual Amazon Prime membership rates rising by 17% in 2022, it’s even more important to think past free shipping, that initial lure for many of us to join the bargain-shopping online retailer Amazon.com. That game-changing cornerstone was the very roots of Amazon Prime and its massive success beginning in the early 2000s.

Since then, we’ve found other perks, some hidden, of Amazon Prime membership offered to 200 million or so Prime subscribers worldwide who for the past four years have been paying $119 a year for membership, or  $12.99 a month.

But with recent news that Amazon is raising its annual Prime membership by 17% to $139 in the coming weeks — for members who pay monthly, the soon-to-be $14.99 a month means $180 a year — you may be taking a hard look at the perks of membership. That journey may surprise you with some of today’s best Amazon Prime benefits — besides free two-day shipping (and that’s quickly becoming one-day, same day and in some locations, one-hour shipping).

Take a look at 40 of these perks that surround the free shipping of Amazon Prime.
