FREE 6-month Amazon Prime Membership with Amazon Student account

If you like Amazon.com and you’re a student with a valid .edu email account, you can get free 2-day shipping for 6 months with their Amazon Prime membership for students, just sign-up for an Amazon student account.

This is a great deal because shipping can be costly and an Amazon Prime Membership generally costs about $59.99 per year for students and $79.99/ month for everyone else.

 

*At the end of the FREE six months Prime membership, the Amazon Student membership will automatically upgrade to a full Prime student membership and the credit-card on file will be charged $59.99/year. If you don’t want the automatic charge select “Do not upgrade.”

After the 6 month trial period, you will only need to pay $6.49 per month. That a amount can seem costly for a student, but in my opinion it’s totally worth it.

Here is a break down of prime benefits as of (October 2018)

  • Prime Now: Free 2-hour delivery (and discount 1-hour delivery) for tens of thousands of products from local stores in select cities, using a special Android or iOS app.
