    From what I read on Amazon, you only get the streaming & Kindle books after you pay $49 1/2 price membership

    • Inda

      Yep.

    FYI….graduate students,count!!! Saved me a headache waiting for books to come in the mail for my online program at Brenau

    • Jessica

      I was just wondering this! My husband is in a PhD program. I am going to try.

      • brandice

        Hi Jessica it should work as long as he has an .edu email address

      • Jessica

        I’m going to try to use yours now!

    • Inda

      That “extend your membership for a month” rule does NOT apply to student prime memberships.

      • Shelby

        I’ve had a student memebership for 3 years and I’ve gotten extensions when things arrive late. The first time I didn’t even ask for it (because I didn’t know about it), they just offered it.

        • Inda

          That’s good to know. Their site specifically says, though, that the extension offer does not apply to student memberships.

  3. Anne

    Can we cancel our current prime for this? Is prime prorated?

    • Ashley

      Yes. They refund your prime membership!

  4. Sara

    Anyone with a .edu email from a university can join – undergrad, grad, adjunct, prof, etc.!

    AMAZON STUDENT TIPS
    Amazon Student Referal Link:
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/student/signup/info?ie=UTF8&refcust=FIFT5TFVNKLEO2GYXTODP7UBCE&ref_type=generic

    We really would appreciate your referral. Here are a few tips that may come in handy:
    1. Amazon Student will pay for itself (gas, shipping, time, no taxes in most states etc.)
    2. Always check the subscribe and save prices on a monthly basis (the prices change)
    3. The best deals are the subscribe and save with coupons (“Google” Amazon Coupons for the latest link)
    4. If the subscribe and save prices change, cancel the subscription and let Amazon know why. They are trying to stay competitive.
    5. If you don’t really need an item, don’t buy it because it’s on sale (it adds up quickly)
    6. If you’re not sure about a price, check online stores (Walgreens, Target, Walmart, Best Buy etc.)
    7. After you enroll, encourage your friends or your college student’s friends to join through YOUR referral link.
    8. Many text books are cheaper on Amazon and can be resold on Amazon, Ebay, and Half.com
    9. FYI- Amazon Student does not include Amazon Instant Movies
    10. The FREE Amazon Student is only for a 6 month trial. If you’re not using the service, cancel the membership (do not forget to use a calendar, the time passes by quickly)
    11. Amazon has a Student App wy hich may come in handy for local price matching (https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201133830)
    12. Don’t forget to use the following link, your help will go towards books, needed supplies, and food. It will be appreciated and used wisely.

    How do you cancel your free amazon prime? I received it free because I am a college student, but I would like to cancel it once my free 6 months is up. I cannot find where to cancel it on this website.
