Free Amazon Prime for a year with a .edu email addy
 

Seems like there are a lot of college students in this forum, and in case you haven't seen this yet on the major deal sites Amazon is giving students with an active .edu email addy (alumni accounts don't seem to work) a free year of Amazon Prime (free two day shipping on anything and $3.99 one day shipping - normally $79/yr). No more trying to come up with $25 orders for free shipping then waiting a couple of weeks for your order to show up.

Just provide your .edu addy, your school and major.

You can use existing Amazon accounts so you don't have to create a new account for this.

Do they make you prove that you're registered for classes?

Re: Free Amazon Prime for a year with a .edu email addy
 

It says in the terms and conditions that they can ask for proof. I'm not sure how often they actually will though... They also say that if they decide you don't qualify, you will be asked to reimburse them for the costs incurred, so it may not be the best idea to mess with the system.

To add to this, I already had a prime account, signed up for the student one and got a refund for the remainder of my prime account. Really sweet deal!

Lame, my school doesn't issue .edu e-mail accounts. :sad
