    so I buy quite a few things through prime (when I can’t buy them locally - am subsidising elderly dad’s retirement hobby): I have not received a price increase notification…

      That’s a good point. They didn’t word it like that.

      We are writing to you today about an upcoming change to your Prime Video experience. Starting July 2, Prime Video movies and TV shows will include limited advertisements.

      But also:

      We will also offer a new ad free option for an additional A$2.99 per month* that you can sign up for here.

      I think I still would have cancelled had they said ‘we are increasing the price by $3, but you can stay at the current price and get ads’. But I believe that’s how Netflix would have worded it.
