Eyeing an Amazon Prime Membership? Amazon, the giant e-commerce shopping site, is crushing it this Black Friday by offering a 30-day free trial to check out all the Prime member benefits without paying a cent.
Amazon Prime membership deals
- New members who are not students or on government assistance can get Prime for 30 days free through the Amazon Prime membership offer. After the 30-day trial period, there are two membership options.
- Monthly: Sign up for a new subscription for $14.99 per month (totaling almost $180 per year).
- Annual: Pay a whole year at once for the discounted price of $139; that's a savings of about $40 over the monthly rate.
- Qualified Government Assistance: For certain customers (receiving Medicaid, SNAP or other qualifying government assistance), sign up for Amazon Prime for just $6.99 per month. That’s savings of just over $8 — or 50% off — the regular price.
- Student: If you’re under 24 or a college student, you may qualify for the Amazon Prime Student discount, which offers several benefits. First, you get six months of free access to Amazon Prime without having to pay a penny. After that, Amazon’s student pricing gets you a Prime membership for just $7.49 per month. You will also get free food delivery through GrubHub+, 10% off flights and hotels, and more. To qualify for the Prime student discount, enter proof of age or proof of enrollment in an accredited college program.
