The Black Friday is here already (18 – 28 November), and you might find some very good student deals during those days! But how can you make the most the black Friday as a student?
The very first thing to do is to get your amazon prime student account if you haven’t already.. it comes with a 6-month free trial!
This basically means you can get it for free for six months and then cancel it if you don’t want to keep it after that; should you want to keep it, it will only cost you half price until graduation (a bargain)!
A student prime account will give you unlimited next day deliveries; access to prime video to watch movies and tv series; access to amazon music and other exclusive Amazon UK deals.
As a student, it could save you a lot of money as well as getting very good student deals throughout the entire year!
Mind that this is for students only, as you will need to use your university email address to get it (sign up process below).
How do you get the Amazon Prime Student account?
See below how to sign up step by step:
- Go to the Amazon Prime Student landing page;
- You will see this: Start your 6-month trial, click on “Try Prime Student”;
- Sign-up or sign-in if you already have a Prime account;
- Insert your university email address (ac.uk or edu.ie if in the Republic of Ireland);
- Insert your expected graduation year;
- Payment details (don’t worry, it’s only needed to sign up, first 6 months are free)
- Verify you email (Amazon will send an email to your university email);
- Enjoy the benefits! This is definitely one of the best student deals out there.
Once the 6 months are abut to end, you can decide to cancel it; or to keep it until graduation at half price!
If you are not a student yet, you won’t be able to sign up for this. However, you can still get a standard prime account with a 30-day free trial, which works similarly.
