If you're a student living in North America, there’s a deal too good to ignore — and chances are, your classmates are already taking advantage of it.
Amazon Prime Student is offering a free 6-month trial to eligible students, giving you access to the full suite of Prime benefits — lightning-fast 2-day (or even 1-day) shipping, exclusive early access to sales, unlimited Prime Video streaming, and more.
But that’s not all.
Get Paid to Shop
Prime Student now includes 5% cashback on eligible purchases. That means every time you buy select items — whether it’s a new laptop, skincare products, fashion essentials, or dorm decor — you earn money back.
Here’s how it works:
-
5% cashback on qualifying items, up to $100 per order
-
Annual cashback cap: $500 per calendar year
-
Once your cashback balance hits $5, it can be automatically applied at checkout
-
Cashback expires 180 days after it’s earned, so don’t let it go to waste!
Items eligible for cashback are clearly marked with a special badge on search and product pages, making it easy to spot the savings.
Not Just for University Students
Are you between 18–24 years old but not currently enrolled in school? Good news — Young Adults in this age range can also apply for the Prime Student offer. You’ll still receive the full 6-month trial and all the same cashback perks.
What Happens After 6 Months?
When your trial ends, you can continue your membership at a steep discount:
-
$69/year (regularly $139)
-
Or $7.49/month (regularly $14.99)
That’s nearly 50% off the standard Prime price — and with the benefits you’re getting, it pays for itself quickly.
Note: Prime Student doesn’t include the Prime Household sharing feature — but everything else is the real deal.
Why We Love It
Whether you’re living off instant noodles or furnishing your first apartment, Amazon Prime Student is a true life-saver. From fast deliveries to binge-worthy streaming, and now cashback on everyday items — this is one of the best-kept secrets among students in the U.S. and Canada.
If you're a student or a young adult, don’t miss your chance to try Prime Student for free. It’s not just a membership — it’s a smarter way to live.
