Amazon Prime

What members' own math tends to show about Amazon Prime: how much ordering it typically takes to clear the fee once video and other bundled perks count, and whether it still holds up now that free shipping is common almost everywhere else.

• Is Amazon Prime worth it? Yes, if you order often or watch Prime Video.
• How much do you have to order to break even on a Prime membership? About 10 orders a year, or $1,400 in spending.
• What do longtime Prime members wish they'd known before signing up? The real cost isn't the fee, it's the habits it builds.
• Is Prime still worth it now that free shipping thresholds are everywhere? Probably, but only if you use the extras.
• How much is Amazon Prime? About $139 a year, or $14.99 a month.
