AMAZON.COM Inc is looking to squeeze more money out of monthly subscribers to its free two-day shipping service, which could persuade many of them to sign up for annual subscriptions.
Monthly subscribers to Amazon Prime now have to pay US$12.99 each month, an 18 per cent jump, according to Amazon's website. At that rate, monthly customers would pay US$156 a year.
