Amazon Prime Student costs $7.49/mo or $69/yr — about half the regular Prime price — after a 6-month free trial, verified with a .edu email or other proof of enrollment.
Amazon Prime Student is one of the more straightforward student discounts still standing in 2026: $7.49/month or $69/year, compared to $14.99/month or $139/year for regular Prime — roughly 50% off. New student sign-ups get a 6-month free trial before billing starts, longer than the standard Prime free trial.
Eligibility extends beyond just enrolled students — Amazon includes young adults aged 18-24 generally, verified through a .edu email address or other acceptable proof of current enrollment. Beyond the Prime shipping and streaming benefits, Prime Student membership is also the gateway to extended trials on other Amazon products, including a longer free trial of Audible Premium Plus (see our Audible page for details).
What we like
- Straightforward 50% discount, no confusing tiers or promo codes needed
- Unusually long 6-month free trial before any charge
- Also unlocks a longer Audible trial as a side benefit
What to watch
- After the 6-month trial, you're billed automatically unless you cancel
- Age-based eligibility (18-24) is broader than "must be enrolled," so verify your specific situation on Amazon's page
