Amazon Student

Miscellaneous General

Apparently Amazon.com is running a promotion for college students, where students with a valid .edu email are able to access Amazon Prime for free.

"Amazon Student members get exclusive discounts on a variety of products and categories. Discounts and promotions will be e-mailed to your Amazon.com e-mail account or made available on the Amazon Student membership page at www.amazon.com/student.

In addition, Amazon Student members get one full year of FREE Two-Day Shipping with Amazon Prime when you become a member.

It doesn’t cost anything to participate in Amazon Student."

Figured this would be interesting for all of you college students here. I know it is for me. Also, thanks to the LRC blog for pointing this out!

Sweeeet deal. Thanks for posting this. I was looking on the website but couldn’t find out: do you know if they start charging you for Prime after the year is up if you don’t cancel it? I don’t want to get charged and forget.

3

I can’t find anything that mentions what happens when the year is up, sorry.

4

Besides the free year of Amazon Prime, what’s the point of signing up? More emails from Amazon.com?

Thank you for the link. Free shipping is always a nice way of making the day that much better.

6

I believe you get discounts on various items as well.

7

I already get their promotional emails. Will I discounts that are only offered to Amazon students?

8

You probably know just as much as I do. I’ve provided the information they give.

This deal was posted on slickdeals.net and the poster mentioned that it doesn’t automatically renew.
