One year Amazon Prime membership for free with a .edu address!

[Ephany]

This is a great deal! If you're a college student here in the US, it's one year free. Plus if you're already a Prime member, it prorates a refund for the time left on your membership. You just have to have a valid .edu address and tell Amazon your major.

Seriously! I LOVE amazon prime. Thanks for sharing.

What exactly is Amazon Prime? I'm buying from Amazon all the time, but have never bothered with the Prime info. I'm a student now, again, so maybe I'll take them up on the offer. Is it a gimmick though? I don't want a bunch of junk mail!

Thanks for your help!

Amazon Prime is not a gimmick at all, I've had it for over a year and am very satisfied. But basically Prime allows you to get free two-day shipping and one-day shipping for $3.99 per item. It regularly costs $79/year, so this student offer for a free year is a GREAT deal.

Amazon typically does not send out any "junk mail" even after you've been a member, however, sometimes they send you email's based on what you've purchased or looked at and suggest things you might like.

I have had amazon prime for the one month trial and I love it so much Im keeping it! Totally worth the $79 if you use it to order frequently. Ive been using it to buy and send b-day gifts and it has saved me a lot in shipping fees....not enough to cover the cost, but its only been a month. I think by the 3 month mark the membership will be paid for.

Sweet! DS is a college student, so he will be able to take advantage of this. We normally order most of his books from Amazon anyway.

With an Amazon Prime account, you can invite two or three people to use the benefit as well. I invited my brother, so my annual membership fee covers him getting free two day shipping, too! It's awesome!

awesome. I had a 3 month trial and loved it, but not enough purchases to cover the $79.

Since I work for a university and take courses, I qualify.. woOt

Teachers also have .edu addresses. Can we sign up, too? Heaven knows we spend a ton on books.

It looks like we can only sign up if we are currently registered for a college course at a qualified institution. They're doing sign-up based on email address, but can ask for proof of eligibility at any time.

This is great, thank you!

Where did you see that it prorates a refund? I singed up - so if I don't get a refund I extended it...

Nevermind my question. I received an email saying my old one was cancelled and I was getting a refund. Thank You! I so this yesterday and didn't think if would work for me.

Thanks for the heads up. I order lots of stuff from amazon and this will save me so much.

oh I am loving Amazon this week. I used my son's college email address.

I was so sad when my 3 month trial of Prime expired a couple of months ago. My UPS guy probably was too. For awhile he was joking that my house was keeping his brown truck full of boxes.

I emailed them and inquired about us teachers. (I should note that I don't have a .edu as a teacher. We have .com.) Here's the response I got:

Hello,

I'm sorry, currently the one-year Prime offer only for students. We'll consider your feedback as we plan further improvements.

It is always important for us to hear how customers react to all aspects of shopping at Amazon.com.

Strong customer feedback like yours helps us continue to improve the selection and service we provide and we appreciate the time you took to write to us.

I've passed your message on to the appropriate department in our company.

I hope this helps. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Maybe we should get all the teachers we know to email them about some sort of Prime deal for teachers?

Is it really lame that this makes me want to sign up for a grad class just so i can get Prime for free?

 

[AllisonK]

Thank you for this!

I've got one year left of college so this is PERFECT! (And it's almost time to order my books - after my next paycheck LOL)

Thanks for posting! My DH is taking classes while being deployed. He looked it up and he qualified and he is going to add me as a friend. I wanted to buy it but thanks to you, I just saved $79 and then some!
