Amazon finally rolls out $299/year mandatory membership for AmazonFresh users

Well, it's October now, and the company has started rolling out the $299/year mandatory membership dubbed Prime Fresh - which it first mentioned late last year - for the users of its grocery delivery service.
Those living in Seattle, New York City, and Philadelphia are now being greeted with the message “AmazonFresh is now available exclusively to Prime Fresh members” when they log into their AmazonFresh accounts.
The Prime Fresh subscription offers free delivery on grocery orders totaling more than $50, as well as all the benefits of Amazon Prime. The new membership, which comes with a free 30-day trial period, is available as an upgrade to the latter.
