This is a public service announcement as well as a minor rant.
If you have this service check your Amazon emails - mine go mostly unread unless I am tracking an order so I nearly missed it.
I spend frequently enough with Amazon to have warranted paying £49 a year for its Prime delivery service - free next day on most stuff sold by Amazon.
The charge went through in January for the next year's membership. Last week I got an email telling me that Prime now includes Amazon Instant Video Streaming, and from the next renewal will go up to £79 a year.
I have cancelled my membership from when it expires, and told them I don't want, don't need, can't benefit from their videos and they are abusing their customer relationships.
I've been slightly uncomfortable with Amazon for a while, and stuck with it because of the returns service, prices and convenience, but up with this sort of treatment I will not put.
