Amazon Prime membership price hike to affect Airtel and Jio bundled plans
Credits: Amazon Q&A page
While 50 percent price change for the Amazon Prime subscription itself is something that could be hard to deal with for some, the Q&A section detailing the price hike confirms telecom networks that provide Amazon Prime subscription as a bundled offering will also see a price hike. This is definitely a big change associated with the Prime membership. Currently, Jio Postpaid Plus plans starting from Rs 399 offer bundled Amazon Prime membership. Similarly, Airtel also offers membership to its various prepaid and postpaid plans. We can expect a price hike for these plans in the days to come.
The Q&A page hasn’t mentioned when exactly the price hike will become effective but Amazon assured that it will announce the exact date of price change at a later time and that it will not auto-renew the membership for the new price automatically. We expect the new membership price will be effective after the ongoing festive sale period, probably in November.
Now that Amazon has confirmed the telecom operators like Airtel and Jio will hike the prices of their bundled mobile recharge plans, we speculate a similar step for broadband plans as well. Airtel and Jio broadband plans that cost Rs 999 and above bundle Prime membership and even they could see a price change soon.
