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

nvm its because i was logged in
I think you get additional deals on textbook rentals, and free shipping back I think? You get all the benefits of Prime and some more.
According to Amazon [amazon.com]:
...in order to get access to Prime instant videos and Kindle Owners' Lending Library sooner, you can upgrade at any time by visiting www.amazon.com/join-student [amazon.com] or www.amazon.com/prime [amazon.com].
Thanks

Will it work? Yes.
They may ask you to send in documentation, though, so you probably shouldn't do it unless you're a student.

I have never heard of Amazon requesting documentation if you register with a .EDU address. So, go for it!
Thanks
You will be fine.
I recently got an email from Amazon saying the Student status is expiring and I would need to submit documentation:
Said form includes:
The help page [amazon.com] also says this:
Oh well, I guess I should have signed up as a freshman
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.
A few weeks later when making a purchase, the student discount was offered to me again. No documentation requested, just a quick sign up and then on to my purchase.
Guess they missed me.

Please PM me if you are interested in joining my Prime family. Each of us will be responsible for only a portion of the Prime membership fee.
TIA~
