Does Amazon Prime Student give a discount?
Yes — students get a 6-month free trial, then Prime at about half price: $7.49/month or $69/year versus $14.99/$139 for standard Prime.
How it works
Eligible college students (and 18–24 year-olds in the US) get a 6-month free Prime trial — six times longer than the standard 30-day trial.
After the trial, Prime Student is $7.49/month or $69/year, roughly 50% off standard Prime.
It includes the same core benefits: fast shipping, Prime Video, and a now-permanent Grubhub+ membership.
What it's worth
The student rate saves about $70/year versus standard Prime, and the 6-month free trial is worth another ~$35–70 on its own.
How to claim it
- 1Go to Amazon Prime Student and verify your student status (school email or enrollment info).
- 2Start the 6-month free trial.
- 3After it ends, you'll be billed at the discounted student rate automatically unless you cancel.
Good to know: Eligibility is time-limited — Prime Student lasts up to 4 years or until you graduate, after which it converts to full-price Prime.
