2005 -> 2014 25%

2005 -> 2022 76% CPI 2005 -> 2022 42%

amazon prime 2005 -> 2022 3.8% compounded annually
US CPI 2005 -> 2022 3.4% compounded annually

(Of course amazon prime benefits have changed a lot between 2005 and 2022 and amazon needs to take into account projected increased costs between now and the next prime price hike.)
