Cramer: The Amazon Prime rate bump is a clarion call to buy the stock

When a circle like Amazon raises the prices for its service and nobody cares, CNBC’s Jim Cramer sees a discernible next move.

“When you see something like that, it’s about as discernible a buy signal as you are ever, ever, ever going to get,” the “Mad Money” host reported on Friday after Amazon upped the price of its monthly Prime membership measure by 18 percent.

The price boost — from $10.99 to $12.99 for full-paying colleagues — will total $156 a year, a “smart” move considering Amazon’s year after year membership rate of $99 will remain the same, Cramer communicated.

“It’s basically a tax on people who only pay month-to-month,” he said.

Better yet, Cramer assumed no resistance “whatsoever” to the price increase thanks to the quality and value that Amazon’s Prime maintenance provides.

“I bet most people don’t even notice the price hike,” he demanded. “That’s why Amazon remains a go-to name for anyone who needs a high-growth offer to round out their portfolio.”

The same goes for Netflix, Cramer held. Nobody cared or resisted when the streaming giant raised the expense of its 4K plan, which offers higher quality content, to $13.99 a month.

“Specified that I pay $24 for two seats in a movie theater — $24 for a couple of maybe crawling with hours of entertainment, pre-popcorn-and-candy, by the way — I’m thrilled to shell out a little more than only just half that to binge on quality homegrown programming … for a uninjured month,” Cramer said.

Customers of Costco, which boasts some of the largest bargains on the market, also tend to overlook when the big-box retailer cultivates the price of its membership cards, Cramer noted.

Apple’s cloud armed forces revenues also fall into this category. If privately-held music app Spotify at all times comes public, its subscription-based service likely will, too, he said.

“The next for the moment you get hit with a price increase and it doesn’t bother you one bit, you need to pay up for the stock of that New Zealand in question, maybe even the next day,” the “Mad Money” host concluded. “In every occurrence I just mentioned … it’s been worth it.”
