Amazon loses German case over Prime fee hikes
Amazon has lost a German Federal Court of Justice case over its 2022 Prime subscription increase. The court ruled its price-adjustment clause invalid, upholding lower-court decisions. Amazon raised monthly Prime fees from EUR7.99 to EUR8.99 and annual membership from EUR69 to EUR89.90. Customers whose memberships predate 15 September 2022 are temporarily reverting to previous rates, while a separate collective action is seeking refunds for overpayments. (Neuhandeln)
