Is Amazon Prime Membership worth it in 2023? Open Discussion

is Amazon Prime Membership worth it in 2023? What are your thoughts, I don't shop on Amazon regularly also free shipping is there above 500Rs Products and mostly I order above 500Rs item most of the item and talking about Prime Music - I Simply don't like it. I have Spotify, Gaana ,Wynk Music and YouTube Music all are Premium and I like these services more than prime music reasons are very - most music are not available ,UI and UX is not friendly and convenient. Prime Delivery is an Advantage along with Prime Video but because of absence of Playback Speed Option - I DONT USE Prime Video ,I simply download the show/movies and then watch it as per convenience on VLC/MX Player.

I will be happy if they would have an OFFER Like Bill Payments/Recharge exclusively for Prime Members but those days are gone which was available in 2018,2019. 

So, what are your takes on this, please post your thoughts that what you like the most about prime subscription and which is there service - music, video, delivery you like and that is why you are paying them....

If you got Apay card and make purchases often on amazon, then i think it is (Again, if you got SBI cashback card or any other card offering ~5% benefits then no)

Also, amazon music, prime video & prime reading might appeal to some (Not for me though) but i've looked at my order history and there are about 25 orders costing <500

Apay card is fine as long as you are just loyal to Amazon. Apay cards don't give discounts on flipkart, samsung app (maybe other portals too, since it does not work on samsung app).

No lounge access. Don't see much use of apay card except on amazon site. 

Thinking of surrendering apay card. 

Also with Icici credit cards I don't see any long term benefits. They don't have any premium cards to upgrade to in future.

Exactly my point. I used to be a regular prime member when it was available at 499. After that when went to 999 umm no then 1499 hell noo

As long as Torrents exist, buying subscription just for watching films or listening songs is a waste of money.

Good only if you buy lots of orders that are below 499rs.

I have the subscription coz I buy a lot of small orders - especially good during loots - but rethinking whether to continue or not coz the price is high.

My family sometimes watches old films and some popular new films on prime. So, if Amazon adds a lot of old Telugu films and newer ones, then I may keep it.

Useful just for free delivery in shopping itself. Prime video is added bonus.

Remember that other streaming players take 300 to 800 per year just for streaming

Only major advantage is free delivery for prime assured products, I order a lot so I subscribed for 1,499rs.

Otherwise no need.

Amazon music is trash, I think youtube music is the best only for Premium members.

No worth,but i will still buy it,I shop a lot(non prime orders get delivered 1-2 days early though),early access and prime day offers are slightly useful.

Prime video only good for watching movies on TV

You should rename it as closed discussion. Amazon Prime main offering is Prime Video. And you don't like it because it doesn't have playback speed option.

As far as I know ppl use playback speed for information related content or study related content. Who uses playback speed to watch movies and series ? If you are fine with torrent sites or any other downloading sites, it's ok.

I forward ~200 times in one movie,if on laptop /mobile if i forward once screen becomes full with data and the movie brightness reduces(because of overlay) and it spoils experience. Sometimes after forward it takes 1-2 seconds to resume( seems to be better recently-may be because i got  new laptop and my old laptop is  at fault).
On tv we forward less and even if we do it,it won't dark the whole screen.SO for TV prime video is good

How it is useful for me?

1. I have amazonpay ICICI card. Prime membership helps me gain 2% more cashback

2. They give exclusive discounts just for prime members

3. Yes, being a prime member, I get these free benefits too. Order anything without delivery charge. I am into ordering Rs. 50 items too as a prime member 😊

4. I don't have subscription to additional music streaming service. But still can use the idiotic prime music. I dont have much issues with GUI as I use it just for couple of seconds when I start the car. Then I controls it via the steering buttons 

5. I can download, copy paste movies and play it via my TV at home, but prime vdo feels more convenient
