How do I get a free trial of Prime Student verified?
Visit Amazon’s “Join Prime Student Page” and follow the instructions there to verify your student status to get started. You can verify your eligibility for Prime Student Membership in one of two ways:
Verify your.edu email address: You will automatically be eligible for Student Prime if you can validate your personal.edu email address. That email address isn’t required to be associated with an Amazon account. It can be independently verified.
Using additional documents You can still be a member if you are a student who qualifies but does not have a.edu email address. Simply send an email to amazon-student-verification@amazon.com with a copy of your valid student ID.
To get your Prime Student account validated, provide a scan, picture, or screenshot of any of the following documents:
Simply having a student ID number is not sufficient; it must also show the current term or an expiration date.
Your current term’s transcript or class schedule, clearly displaying your name and the name of your school.
Your current term’s tuition bill, including your name and the name of your school on it
a formal letter of acceptance for the upcoming term (which must mention the applicant’s matriculation date)
After confirming your paperwork, Amazon will follow up with you through email in 3–5 business days with a link so you can finish the signup process without using a.edu email address.
However, in order to avoid having to get in touch with customer service once more, you must register for Prime Student within 14 days of getting the follow-up email.
