Current subscribers must note that the ongoing subscription will remain unaffected. However, once the plan validity ends, the users will need to pay for the new price. Therefore, we suggest new members opt for the new Prime plan before the revised plans come into effect. However, for Youth members, it is suggested to wait until December 13, as the price drop will come into effect for Youth Plans only.
