Free Amazon Prime Membership for Students

Posted by Lorren on August 7, 2010

I just discovered today that Amazon.com is offering free Amazon.com Prime Membership for students with Amazon Student. I believe that it is for college students only. All you have to do is enter your grade level, .edu email address, and major, and Amazon will give you a year of Amazon Prime membership. Amazon Prime membership allows you to have FREE 2 day shipping!

I am really excited about this, because my husband is a law student. I am always winning Swagbucks, but I always try to wait until I get $25 in Amazon.com gift cards before I can place an order to get the free shipping. With Amazon Student, I don’t have to wait until I get the $25 for free shipping, I can just order when I have enough gift cards saved up for the one item that I want.

When I ordered The Overton Window, I ordered several books with it, including Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence and Wives of the Signers. Since The Overton Window was on pre-order, I had to wait about a month to get my other two books, because my shipment was waiting for Beck’s book. I won’t have to do that any more.

Now if only I could find enough time to read the books that I have. I have enough Swagbucks for American History in Black & White, but I still have other books that I haven’t read yet. That darned Glenn Beck for recommending so many good books! I may need to buy some curriculum at Amazon in the next couple of weeks though. At any rate, when I’m ready to order, I can get free two-day shipping. If you’re a student (or share an Amazon.com account with one), so can you.
