Prime for Students and 18-22 year-olds

Prime for Students and 18-22 year-olds is a discounted Prime membership created especially for higher education students studying in the UK and Republic of Ireland (ROI) and people aged 18-22.

Membership Structure

If you sign up for a Prime as a student or 18-22 year-old, you will receive an initial six-month trial period. After this, your membership will automatically renew into a paid Prime membership at a discounted rate (unless you cancel your trial or set it to not renew automatically before the trial period expires). The discounted rate applies for the following periods:

  • If you sign up as a student, for as long as you are a student or for up to four years (whichever comes first); or
  • If you sign up as an 18-22 year-old, until you turn 23.

At the end of the discounted period (as described above), and unless you cancel beforehand, your discounted membership will automatically renew into a regular Amazon Prime Membership (with all associated benefits) at the applicable rate.

Membership Benefits

During the six-month trial period, you'll receive the same benefits as a regular Prime member, except that:

  • You may not invite your household members to share your Prime membership;
  • You will only receive a single Twitch channel subscription for one month; and
  • You won't have access to Kindle Owners' Lending Library.

Prime benefits are subject to restrictions, such as geographic limitations, as stated in the Amazon Prime Help page. You may also receive discounts and promotions, which we will communicate to you via e-mail or make available on the Prime for Students and 18-22 year-olds membership page.

You can change or cancel your Prime membership settings at any time by visiting Manage Your Prime Membership.
