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

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

Thanks again,
I'm sharing with one other, and wondering how this would work... will it be cut off? Or what if I let it expire and then resign up a month or more later will my share stay connected.
I'm just thinking that if they had the sharing before maybe they won't alter the existing people that already had it going. It's been nice for two of us to get the free shipping for the last 16 months or so its been
Amazon has genius marketing, because 2 years ago I would have REFUSED to pay for prime, and now I can see having it forever....

Just don't shop with them if you don't want to pay for Prime. They give you 2 day shipping with Prime and half the time it ends up being 1 day shipping for me.
Amazon is not going to see a big drop off, and if they do it will be a drop in the bucket.
I don't even know why you would compare Amazon to Costco, a B&M store. Just so you know, if you order from Costco.com, it isn't always free shipping, better boycott them too until they change that!
Amazon does give you Free shipping if you spend over $25, I'd love a list of other companies that give you free shipping on every order.
For some people Prime with Streaming might be a better choice, for some, Costco and Netflix (or other steaming services).
In the last 2 years I was able to get in on so many price mistakes and quick deals... a few of my cancelled orders ended up making me money (One was dog bones, and I had put in like 5 orders with free prime shipping that Amazon cancelled and gave me a 5 gc for each one). If you really like saying "in for 3" and are constantly watching posts on SD that have to do with Amazon, prime makes it worth it....

I managed to squeeze 2 free years out of Prime, so I had no issues paying $40 for another year. I've only ordered 5 things in the last month since signing up again, and I've already justified it with last minute birthday purchases and such.
Amazon has its flaws, but plenty of people will pay $40 a year for the convenience of next day shipping (I don't think I've ever waited 2 days).
