What's the benefit of Prime?
What benefits of Prime are you using?
Is Amazon prime still worth it?
Aside from free shipping, which Amazon Prime perks do you actually use?

Like all Americans I am pinching pennies. I've been a Prime member for about 15 years. IIRC it used to be about half of what I'm paying right now. I always paid a yearly sub fee, but for some reason now, can't remember; I am on a month to month ($16 w/ tax).
Now I have not used Amazon Video in a long time, mostly because everything I click on requires a payment to rent or buy, ad what is included is not very good. I also have Netflix which I was going to cancel, but was auto-downgraded to their Basic w/ads tier which is $6-7 per month which is easier to swallow. Since I have Spotify I do not use Amazon Music.
I have to say I like the convenience. Also, I hear many complaining how long shipping is now- I live in a rural area and still almost always get my items in the advertised Prime shipping time.
I guess I'm trying to justify the expense I pay every month or to talk myself out of it. For those who have cancelled Prime but still use Amazon, what is the experience like? Are the prices the same? Is a $100 item still free shipping without Prime, and if not is the shipping time longer?
I could in theory cancel Netflix and Spotify and keep Prime. I would like to hear from other people.
