How to Get Free Amazon Prime Students Membership and Make Money on Referrals

Hey college students! Did you know Amazon offers Free Amazon Prime for Students? Yes! Get a 6-month free Prime membership with free 2-day shipping, unlimited instant streaming of movies and TV shows, borrow free Kindle books, and more.   Because, even with Amazon coupons and deals, it’s expensive to be a student.

I wish I knew about this deal when I was in college.  I could have saved a lot of money on my textbooks, supplies, and more.

Although, Amazon started selling more than books in 1998.  They used to only sell books, music, and DVDs.

It wasn’t until 1999 when they started selling software, home-improvement, video games, and gift items.

Free Amazon Prime Student Membership

Courtesy of Sprint, students can get a 6-month free trial of Amazon Prime.

How much is Amazon Prime for Students?

When the free six month trial ends, you’ll keep getting benefits at a rate of 50% off the regular rate.

For comparison, after a free 30-day trial, Prime costs $119 per year or $12.99 per month.

Requirements

In order to qualify for the free membership, first, you must have an Amazon account.   Then, you have to be enrolled in at least one class at a college or university in one of the 50 states, DC, or Puerto Rico.  You must have a valid .edu email address.

Your college email address does not need to be connected to your Amazon account, but it will be used for verification.

When you sign up,  you’ll have to fill out your college, year, and major information.

Be prepared to show proof of enrollment if Amazon asks you for it.  If you can’t provide proof, Amazon could ask you for reimbursement of the benefits you received.

Can you still get Amazon Prime free if you don’t have a .edu email address?

Yes! Even if you don’t have a .edu email address from a pre-approved campus, you can still get free Prime for students.  Submit proof of your student status here or send one of the following documents to amazon-student-verification@amazon.com.

  • Your official acceptance letter that includes enrollment date.
  • Your student ID with the current year or expiration date.
  • A transcript or course schedule for the current term that includes your name and school.
  • Your tuition bill for the current semester with your name and school.

If Amazon approves your membership, they will send you an email within 3-5 business days with a link to enroll.  Be sure do with this within 14 days of that email or else you’ll have to re-submit application.

Amazon Student Benefits

Prime Benefits for students

In addition to the perks above, there are special college deals and promotions for Prime Student members.  For example, save up to 90% on textbooks and then trade some of them in for Amazon gift cards.

How Long Does Prime Student Last?

Prime student memberships are good for four years or until you graduate, whichever comes first.

Current Prime Members Can Sign Up for Free Too!
