Amazon gives students 6 months of Prime at $0, then drops the price to $7.49/month — half of what everyone else pays.
What you get
- Free Same-Day, One-Day, and Two-Day shipping on millions of items
- Prime Video, Prime Music, and Grubhub+ included
- 2 free months of Kindle Unlimited and 2 free months of Audible
- After the trial: $7.49/month or $69/year, versus $14.99/month or $139/year for regular Prime
Who qualifies
You need a valid .edu email to verify as a student. Not enrolled but still 18-24? You can qualify the same way by verifying your age with a driver's license, passport, or state ID.
How to claim
- Go to Amazon's Prime Student sign-up page via the link below.
- Sign in or create an Amazon account, then enter your .edu email (or verify your age with an ID).
- Add a payment method — you won't be charged during the 6-month trial.
- Confirm your school and expected graduation year to lock in your eligibility window.
The catch
Amazon requires a card on file up front, and the trial rolls straight into the paid $7.49/month plan if you don't cancel first. The discount itself only lasts up to 4 years or until you graduate — after that, you're moved to full-price Prime.
