What does invite others to use prime mean (under the account tab) does this mean to authorize others to use my prime account for free, or does it mean to invite others that have a edu. e-mail to sign up???
^You can invite anyone (up to 4 others), with any email address to share your Prime account. You won't see any of their purchase and they won't see any of yours.
Family invites may say that they are only for one month (at least it was for my wife) but they also get a full year and 4 invites!!! - Morning_Breath
- well, for the invites it said Subscription Duration = 1 month. However, the prime account showed valid until Jul 13, 2011. So we will know if it is valid for 1-year ONLY after 30 days.
FAQ [amazon.com]
Terms and Conditions [amazon.com]
If you sign up for an Amazon Student membership, for the first year of that membership, you will receive one free year of Amazon Prime. We may choose to extend this free offer for more than one year. With Amazon Prime, you will be entitled to FREE Two-Day shipping and $3.99 per unit One-Day shipping on all eligible purchases for one year. The automatic renewal provisions in the Amazon Prime Terms & Conditions (which would require you to pay for Amazon Prime) do not apply to this membership, even if we decide to extend the free Amazon Prime offer beyond one year. There is no minimum purchase requirement. Amazon Student members will also be entitled to discounts and promotions, which we will communicate to you via e-mail or make available on the Amazon Student membership page at www.amazon.com/student.
Please use a current .edu e-mail address. Alumni addresses are not eligible.
sanjeeva7 - oh well it was worth a shot!!
This applies to graduate students as well as there is a choice for "graduate student" when signing up.
For those who are thinking about frauding the system, think again. Enrollment can easily be verified by using this website [National Student Clearinghouse - EnrollmentVerify School Participants]: http://www.studentclea
RE: Auto-renewal
This is nothing to worry about. If they do end up charging you, just call them and tell them you'd like to cancel. I had a three month trial renew on me, which I didn't catch until over a month later. I called, said I never used the service and didn't want to keep it, and they gave me a full refund on the spot.
Inviting household members
Invitation works like normal! Each Student Prime account may share the Prime benefits with 4 other people like a normal paid Prime account. -aznkuo
To invite a friend or family member, go here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/subs/pr...epage.html
Current Prime Members
You should receive an email automatically from Amazon showing that your old Prime membership was canceled and they are issuing a pro-rated refund. This has been confirmed by multiple $D members. Some users report this email being blocked by spam filters, so if you don't get it, check your spam folder.

School-Specific Information
Any Northwestern Univ (Evanston, IL) undergrads should use the @northwestern.edu that is hidden in the system....ie [email protected]. your @u.northwestern.edu account will NOT be accepted for this promo. Might work for grad students too, YMMV -Your friendly Wildcat, dragonflight

I keep getting
Error condition
It seems that there was a partial match in the system.
Please visit your college's Admissions and Records office
to continue the registration process.
I decided to go with the reduced prime fee which includes a few streaming shows - Watching ALF, as I type. First time watching it in English, since I was stationed in Germany during it's prime time =)

At $39, that averages out to $3.25 per month.
That's pretty reasonable for 2 day shipping if you order 12 + items a year.

yep and if they continue to throw in those $1 mp3 credits, it's a win win.

It's only for 6 months not one year.
I recently got an email from Amazon saying the Student status is expiring and I would need to submit documentation:
If you're still a student, please verify your student status using this form before Month Day, 2012 to maintain your Amazon Student membership and renew your Amazon Prime membership at the discounted rate of $39/year (for up to four years.)
If you're not interested in continuing with Amazon Prime, please visit Your Account to cancel your membership. For more details, please refer to our Student Help section on expiration and the Amazon Student Terms & Conditions.
If you're able to provide proof of enrollment in at least one course at a college or university located in one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico, you may be eligible to continue your Amazon Student membership and receive Amazon Prime benefits for $39/year (for up to four years.) We'll do our best to review your submission within 24 hours, but it may take us up to 3 days if we are experiencing high volumes. You'll receive a confirmation e-mail once we have a chance to review your documentation.
Proof of Enrollment
Please attach one of the following: (all documents must include your name, school name, and the date/term)
A transcript or class list for the current term (must include the date/term)
A copy or picture of your student ID (must include an expiration date or term)
A tuition bill for the current term (must include the date/term)
An official acceptance letter for the upcoming term (must include the matriculation date)
As you move from college to your next phase of life, we want to make the transition convenient by automating signup for regular Amazon Prime at a rate of $79 a year. We'll notify you several weeks before your discounted Prime annual renewal date via e-mail if we believe you may no longer be a student. This is based largely on the information you shared with us when first joining the program, such as academic level and expected graduation date.
Verifying Continuing Student Status
If you're still a student but received an e-mail saying Amazon Prime will be automatically renewed at a rate of $79/year, please visit the Amazon Student Membership page in Your Account. On that page you'll find accepted ways to prove your enrollment and can submit documentation to verify your student status. You're eligible for discounted Amazon Prime benefits for a maximum of 4 years, as long as you are an Amazon Student member.
If we find that your proof of enrollment meets our criteria, youre all set to enjoy another year of Amazon Student along with Amazon Prime benefits at the discounted $39 rate. If your verification documentation doesn't meet our criteria, or if you choose not to verify your student status, you'll automatically be upgraded to the Amazon Prime membership at the regular $79 rate and your Amazon Student membership will be canceled.
It's possible that your Amazon Prime membership may be renewed before we've had a chance to review your documentation. If you've submitted the documentation at the time of the renewal but we haven't processed it yet, you'll be charged the discounted rate of $39/year. If your documentation doesn't meet our criteria for proof onf enrollment, you will be refunded $39, charged for Amazon Prime at the $79 rate, and we'll cancel your Amazon Student membership on the date your documentation was reviewed.
Late Submissions
If you've been renewed at the $79 rate but submit documentation within 60 days to show you are still eligible for Amazon Student, we'll refund the $79 you were charged on your Prime renewal date. At the same time we'll charge you for $39 discounted Prime and re-enroll you in Amazon Student on the date your proof of enrollment was verified.
I don't know if it is possible to re-enroll in the future when I head back for grad school.
From my account information page about Student Membership though, I don't think so:
One year free. One year half off. Not bad.

I just re-uped mine last night for $39 and did not have to submit any proof.
