My bank sent me a fraud alert that $152.83 was trying to be charged from Amazon. I pulled up my Amazon account and didn't have any pending orders. I asked the bank if they thought it could possibly be the annual Prime membership charge - the girl chuckled a little and said, "No way. It's not that much!" I told the bank to kill the debit card.

A couple hours later, I googled: How much is Amazon Prime? Can you believe $ 139 and apparently they tax that amount which brings the total to: $ 152.83

What pisses me off is while I'm on the phone with the bank, I logged into my Amazon account and NO WHERE did it show a pending Amazon Prime charge.

frick them.

They keep it well-hidden and most people that use their Amazon store card will likely never notice it.

I have the Amazon Prime card which gets you 5% back on Amazon Purchases. The credit I get back more than pays for the Prime fee.

Why would you check under orders for something that isn't an order?

What are you complaining about? You didn't order anything. It is an annual recurring charge for your Prime membership.

Don't link anything on the internet to a debit card. There is much better fraud protection on credit cards and they create a layer of protection between your money and the internet.

You are a moron for having your DEBIT card tied to anything automatic or any online purchasing whatsoever.

the membership includes all prime streaming services as well and the free shipping.

So its not exactly a waste of 139.

Prime is mostly a ripoff. All orders above about $25 come with free shipping anyway. May not come in 2 days but usually a few.
