GlassdoorAnyone currently enrolled in college is probably (hopefully), well aware of all of the advantages a college ID can get you. Whether it’s discounts on your cellphone bill, gym membership, subscriptions to newspapers and magazines, or movie tickets, the deals available to college students are quite possibly unmatchable.

However, students may still be unaware of one of the best values out there for anyone with an .edu email address: a free six-month membership to Amazon Student.

Amazon Student is closely affiliated with Amazon Prime, offering many of the same perks, including free two-day delivery, unlimited photo storage with Prime Photos, and exclusive discounts available only to students. But as a student, you get six times as long a free trial as the rest of the Amazon browsing public.

Even better, the offer is available to anyone who still has access to their college email address, so if you just graduated or are about to graduate, it’s a great time to jump on the deal.

Beyond the benefits of Amazon Student, once your free six months run out, you’ll have a chance to buy into a year of Amazon Prime at half its normal cost. For just $50, you’ll have access to all the deals you did with Amazon Student, plus Prime Video, the Kindle Lending Library, and much more for a full year.

If you’re in school, or recently graduated but still with access to your college email, Amazon Student is a great (and free) way to test out a membership to Amazon Prime, to see if it’s something you might be interested in moving forward.
