Never happy about the price increases, but I really use my Prime membership - and yesterday I signed up for the Amazon credit card - they gave me a $70 gift card, there is no annual fee, AND it gives you 5% back on anything you buy on Amazon! The interest rate, like most, is 16%, but since I don't plan on building up a balance, that won't be a problem.
I remember about two years ago, Amazon was considering dropping the Prime cost to $12. Their reasoning was that Prime members bought a lot more goods than non-prime members. (So true in my case). But I guess they decided to add perks and value instead.
