Earlier this week, Amazon told its Prime customers that it would be increasing the cost of its membership.

The price hike is the first in years and will see Irish customers hit with significantly higher bills.Those with an annual subscription through the German .de marketplace will see their bill increase by 30% from €69 to €89.90, while customers who pay the monthly fee of €7.99 will now have to pay €8.99, a rise of 12.5%, making their annual bill nearly €108.

In a statement to customers, the world's largest online retailer cited "increased inflation and operating costs" as well as faster delivery and more content to stream on the price rises.One money saving expert issued a stern warning to Amazon Prime members. Martin's tweet sparked a strong response among his 1.6 million followers and other Twitter users. Many said they are planning to cancel Amazon Prime as a result of the price increase, Manchester Evening News reports.

@gazzas89 said: "Or, everyone cancels because of the price hike, you'll see amazon quickly drop that price back down." However, some people don't understand the outrage, and have said they're happy to just cancel if prices are rising.
