CFO Tom Szkutak cited higher costs of shipping goods as the reason for the potential price raise.
Amazon has never released exact figures, but there are over 20 million global Prime users. 19 million items on Amazon are Prime-eligible, and the company also offers discounts for mothers and students.
The company recently raised the price for free shipping for non-Prime members from $25 to $35, the first time that price had been raised in a decade.
