1 year Free Amazon Prime Membership for College Students
Attention college students!
1 year Free Amazon Prime membership Did a search and couldn't find this: www.amazon.com/student Requires: -Valid .edu e-mail address -Specify college, year and major Quote:
Everything else is self-explanatory. Go to prime and manage your account. Should be activated and have an ending date 1 year from sign-up date. You are even able to add family members to the account like a regular prime subscription. Updates to answer questions Q: Will this automatically renew? A: NO! Quote:
A: You might be able to. And you might not. If you do not qualify and they catch you, Amazon will make you reimburse them for their costs Quote:
Q: What happens if I already have a prime account? A: I'm not sure, however people are reporting that if they currently have a prime account and they sign-up for the Amazon Student account, the following happens: 1. Their current prime account gets cancelled and they get a pro-rated refund 2. They get signed up for the free 1 year amazon student prime Q: My .edu address isn't my Amazon.com address -- do I have to create a new account? A: No Quote:
A: Students are notoriously poor. Many have to work minimum-wage jobs while taking classes to pay for rent, tuition and food. Let a student know about this deal and help them save money. Also, donating old books you have lying around the house to schools and libraries (especially those dealing with budget cuts) could potentially enrich a child's life and help them get interested in many different subjects and put them on the path to higher education. "Join Amazon Student and get FREE Two-Day Shipping for one year with a free Amazon Prime membership ($79 value), as well as e-mail alerts for exclusive promotions. There is no cost to join--simply sign up by providing your school and major. If you’re not a student, you may still be eligible for a free trial of Amazon Prime." Conditions for the curious (from Terms and Conditions) T&C [amazon.com] EDIT: This is really crazy!! Almost 2750 thumbs ups and counting! -- Over 3900 reps (I started with only 17!) Thanks everyone for all the support! Here's the back story of how this deal came about: My sister-in-law really wanted a prime account since their's had just ended a short time go. She kept asking if I wanted to split one with her and my other siblings, but the rest of us weren't so keen on the idea because we didn't have that much of a need for it. Fast forward to yesterday afternoon, she calls me and tells me about this Amazon Student thing and asks if I've ever heard of it. I told her no and did a search on slickdeals and google and couldn't find a thing on it. I went to the website she gave me and saw that you get Prime free for a year if you're a student, etc. etc. I verified it worked and that you could add family members to the account. As soon as that happened, I posted it here since I've been a member for a while, but never posted a deal before (everyone is really quick on the uptake for this kind of stuff so by the time I find out about something, it's probably been on here for days already). I wanted to give back to everyone and this was the perfect opportunity. The rest as they say, is history (1 day old history!)

Awesome.

thanks!

For such a good deal, there is way too much bickering in this thread. There are tons of new visitors to the site based on this single thread and you guys are making the SD community look really bad with all of this pointless arguing. Just sayin'
|
This is SLICK deals. We are slickkkkk.
Plus don't you think Amazon such a bigggg company know about slickdeals and every other forum like this? They knew what they get into, they have their technicians. |

People are going to abuse a deal whether you like it or not, but all this nonsense about who is in or isn't in college is dumb. Just rep the OP, say a thanks if you want, in and out. Simple as that. |

For what its worth...
I posted earlier (it was deleted..) that I graduated in May and didn't feel bad about signing up because I support Amazon a great deal. Well, after more thought, I actually cancelled my student account (and thus Prime). I then called my younger brother (who is a student and will be for two more years), had him register, and simply add me. Now there are no worries about me having to pay for a years worth of shipping! |
in ^^

thanks just signed up.

Thank you. In 4 1.

wow never seen so many thumbs up on a deal . thanks op
|
thanks
|
I'm confused, items that are offered through prime are just more expensive than other seller's items.
|

|
Prime just doesn't seem like a good deal, they just add the shipping price into the item price.

Plus...Prime is FREE for college students. How is free not a good deal? |
Quote:
http://www.livecheap.com/shopping/online/167-amazon-prime-is-it-worth-it?start=1 2) Prime doesn't apply to non-Amazon purchases. Many times, the lowest price or the only available merchandise is from a third party vendor. On several occasions, I bought something where my Prime membership was worthless. I still needed to pay for the shipping from the vendor and that seemed awkward, because as far as I was concerned, I was buying it from Amazon.com. Yes, it is a third party merchant, but it is being brokered by Amazon and Amazon is making a good cut of the sale. 3) After my experience with the non-Prime purchases, I found myself looking only at the Prime eligible items. Invariably, many of the Prime items carried a higher price tag than partner vendors especially at low price points. Items that were $8 from most other vendors were $13 through Amazon.com. So I would get free 2-day shipping, but it was embedded in the price. Considering that I'd already paid for the shipping advantage by subscribing to Prime, it felt like I was taking money from one pocket and putting it in another. |
My question is if the shipping was taken into consideration, sometimes Amazon partner items may be less but with shipping it may cost more.
Since this Prime is free, it's a pretty good deal. |
I looked at various books I was interested in and of course took into consideraton the shipping prices. The majority of times a third party offer was cheaper for me, if you find that prime works for what you're interested in, then well, great.
|
Amazon prime works great for pre-ordering games. You get free release day shipping and it's much better than any of the other deals in-store or online.
|
congrats to the person who won the rep lotto. More rep will keep coming for sure.

It's not a big deal to me though how long it takes to receive my item, I just go with what's cheaper. The cheaper in most cases for me is the 3rd party, and prime isn't always offered for what I purchase. Sometimes prime just ends up being more. It seems that prime is good mostly for new releases where you save about a $1-3 or so. What I'm trying to say is prime is not always the cheapest, it varies that's all. |

My college currently restricts .edu addresses to faculty and internal staff. When I told them about this they gave me an .edu address out of gratitude methinks. :yahoo:
So according to the history of the embued account have managed to have Free Amazon Prime from August 2008 until July 2011. I love Amazon!! :woot2: And yes I thumbed up the thread and increased insane rep count +4 :worship: |

Worst deal of all time. Signed up on Thursday night and ordered about $300 worth of stuff that I absolutely don't need. Now I find myself constantly searching Amazon and Slickdeals for random stuff to buy. Sure, I could try that beef-broccoli stir fry mix. Exercise ball? sure why not. I think its the allure of having something delivered to my door. Every time I come home from work to see a box in front of my door I am absolutely giddy with excitement. A huge smile on my face, I pry open the boxes to see what goodies have been delivered that day. I think I may just order one item every day to have this excitement all the time. I am nuts!!!

Great deal. For anyone who is wondering, I currently have prime (paid the regular 79 for it) and it runs out in a month. My wife signed up using her .edu address and got prime and added me as a family member. It seems to work fine for both of us.
|
I know my brother or sister are somewhere in this thread....they need to add me to their account! :D

Quote:
If you solely signed up for prime you would make A amount of purchases a year with it. By providing relatives or friends with it, they gain potential customers who would purchase B + C + D on top of your A. So you paid full for the subscription, but you give it out to friends. So what? The cost of prime is negligible compared to the potential sales they can gain from others. I'm specifically targeting people who wouldn't normally use Amazon. Prime gives more incentive for to-be customers as well as reinforces the loyalty of existing customers. What benefit do you have by stripping your members that you allegedly state are "cheating" the system. If it didn't fiscally make sense, they wouldn't even offer free prime to students. |

FYI the verification emails from Amazon were getting blocked by my school's server... I had to email them, and they fixed it to finally let the emails through. So now I got Prime, yay! If you're not getting the emails you may want to email your campus IT people.

For those who have graduated and have their degrees (like me) you can still sign up if you are a taking any kind of college class in my opinion. I happen to be taking a class to increase my pay at work (get paid more the more education I have) and the school automatically assigned me a student email. I just put "other" when it asked what year I was in. I have in the past taken aerobics classes too which you can get credit for.
Also, I had to attend several workshops throughout the year for work and most workshops offer a way to get college credits through either a real university or online university. If you are getting paid through work to take a workshop, maybe you can find a way to get college credit. Third, I know high school kids can take free college classes at the local jc where I live. This is YMMV of course. |
Dammit, my school restricts EDU addresses to faculty and staff - couldn't budge Amazon customer service - I offered to send them photocopies of my student ID, registration, etc....no dice...BOO!!:(
|
Does anyone know what happens if I start a free trial month of Prime right now and then immediately sign up for the student account? Would I get 13 months of free prime?

This is awesome!

NEWS FLASH!
USA TODAY newspaper reports college student enrollment is up 88% over the previous month! :lol: |
Does anyone know what kind of "proof of enrollment" Amazon might want if they ask? My university has been really bad about receiving and sending official document between different universities and I dont think i could get anything official sent direction from my school to Amazon. Would they just want a course listing or something?

Thanks a lot OP. Just did this since I need the item as soon as it gets back in stock (Canon D480).

Finally signed up. Awesome!

Does this require clicking a verification link inside an email to complete the signup?
My student email was deactivated due to inactivity (didn't take summer classes), and I need to talk to someone in the school office about getting it opened back up so I can use it again. Only problem is there's something I would really like to order and take advantage of the fast shipping on, and it is being released tuesday. Long story short I want to know if I need to be able to access that email account immediately to complete the signup for this. Alternatively, if I were to get my email mess sorted out monday, sign up for the student membership, and order my item, what are the odds of the item being shipped tuesday? |
Quote:
If you order on Monday (before some cut off time in the afternoon, it usually shows it on the item page), they should ship it either Monday or Tuesday for arrival on Wednesday or Thursday. |
awesome suppose to have 2 more month of prime ^^ now free one year
thanks |
Checked my email and got notice of this. Came to SD to see if it was already up, my surprise when I did a search and I saw just how popular it had become. Great deal for anyone with a .edu address. Now I got Prime again!

Dang, 5 attempts trying to sign up and yet to receive an email from amazon. I contacted college and was informed no issues on their end. cannot find anything in the spam folder either. any idea? TIA
|
I just found this on the Amazon site and thank you. This is amazing for me.
|
I wish there was a way to get it without a .edu address. My school only provides them for faculty, so apparently I have no way of getting one... I'll keep sending them messages asking for another way to prove I'm a student and start making phone calls... maybe I can get a manager to override it or something.
|
^Most accredited colleges have .edu e-mails that they give out to their students. What school do you go to?
I'm not sure if you're a high school but, the deal was obviously meant for college kids because they know how much we love to spend on things we don't need, and most college kids will have at least some source of income. |

The funny part is that my college is also on their list. |

Yeah, I got back another email that said almost even more adamantly that they aren't doing it for anyone who doesn't have a .edu address. I'll talk to one of the computer teachers about who is in charge of the emails and maybe just offer the deal to them or something. I donno.

What I was actually referring to was the suggestion that someone actually bribe a faculty member, i.e. a professor or instructor. Any faculty member that would even consider taking a bribe from a student, even for something this small, has no place in a university. In fact, I question anyone's judgement ability who would allow accounts controlled by third-parties to tied to a work email for a bribe, for less than $79, no less. |
Quote:
|
Just so everyone was clear, I wasn't going to bribe any faculty. When I said offer the deal to them, I meant offer them the amazon prime deal saying they can get it with a .edu. I've done this with certain professors that I work with often also outside of classes, like one who was planning on buying Portal, I told them of a FP deal that was here on SD and they appreciated it. I wouldn't ask for something that could get them into trouble. If they said "Sorry, students aren't allowed to have an .edu address." Then I'd say thanks for their time and drop it. If they said "Sure, that's no problem, we just don't give them out since we don't have a system that generates one for everyone automatically, so we just say its only for staff" then I'd go with that too. I agree that faculty that accept bribes for services that they normally wouldn't provide for someone has no place in our educational system.
