Amazon Student!

If you're a college student, you HAVE to take advantage of Amazon's amazing offer. Amazon Student gives you a free 6 months of Amazon prime, with the option to go beyond 6 months at $49 a year, which is half of the regular price.

Join Prime Student FREE Two-Day Shipping for College Students

If you are a poor college student and can only do the free 6 month trial, there are better times than others to start your free trial. In my experience, the best time of year to do Amazon Student is August through January. 

If you buy used textbooks on Amazon, you can save a ton of money. With this trial period you can get:
-textbooks in August for Fall Semester
-Black Friday shopping in November
-Christmas presents for the fam in December 
-textbooks in January for Winter Semester classes

This will give you free 2-day shipping on most items, if not all of your textbooks and it covers both semesters for the year.

Other perks of Amazon Student:

You’ll also receive unlimited streaming of thousands of movies and TV shows through Prime Video, access to unlimited photo storage through Prime Photos, as well as Student-exclusive deals and discounts. 

All you need to sign up is a .edu email address. What if I don't have a .edu email address? 

No problem! Most schools have .edu email available, or they will use an alias manager. For example, BYU doesn't have @byu.edu email hosting but you can set up an alias so you can use David@byu.edu as an email address and then it just forwards all email to your normal email David@gmail.com. This is an easy way to keep your current email address and still have access to great benefits through Amazon.
