Try their 6-month free trial and enjoy the benefits that subscribers have signed up for. Enjoy two-day shipping, photo storage, and exclusive deals. The benefits you won’t be receiving with the free trial are streaming of video and music or Kindle book borrowing, so beware. If you don’t love Student’s deals and discounts, simply change your settings and you won’t be charged a penny. I’m pretty confident that six months of these great benefits will have you wanting more. Membership All you need to do is share school information such as your college’s name and student email address to sign up. Browse through recent searches and recommendations (thank you, cookies). Receive email alerts on new discounts and day-to-day deals. Free release date delivery on video games, DVDs, and books is also offered, so don’t wait for your local retail store to have them in stock or even restock. It’s Amazon Prime, but better … and who doesnt like that there are perks catered to themselves specifically? FREE Two-Day Shipping Image via (Freshly Techy) As a college student, you need reliable and fast shipping because your last-minute Halloween costume needs to get here, like, now. Need a new phone case? Amazon will deliver your new cover within just 48 hours. Get your package in two days with no minimum order size. If there was anything better than free shipping, it’s that your package will get to you for free in two DAYS. Tip:  You can opt out of two-day shipping if you arent in a hurry. Convert the perk to a $1 video credit. Receive your package in 5-7 business days, and watch a movie or episode while you wait. Instant Streaming If Netflix doesnt have the movie you’re looking for, take a look at the Amazon Video library. You can find titles such as Interstellar, In the Name of the Father, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Good Will Hunting. Enjoy Amazon Originals like Chi-Raq    a film that remakes the ancient Greek play, “Lysistrata,” in modern day Chicago’s Southside and Transparent, a series about a family whose unconditional love transcends appearances and preferences. While I do agree their movies and shows selection should be upgraded constantly, most films and TV hits are available to you anytime, anywhere. Make sure to get the Amazon app on your phone and tablet to have access to the streaming library. Kindle Books For the avid reader, Kindle Books offers cheaper prices on books that a college student would be enticed to read. Choose from Best Sellers, New Releases, and Editor’s Picks, among other categories. Borrow and lend books from your own library as well with Kindle Owners’ Lending Library. All Student, and Prime, members can access their friends’ libraries and borrow a book for free. This is especially helpful if you’re taking a class whose reading material is a book found in the Kindle library. If a friend of yours already took the class, they may lend you the book and help you save. Other Benefits If saving on Cloud or Google Drive isnt for you, send and save your photos to Prime Photos with unlimited storage. Clear space on your phone by uploading your memories to Amazon’s Cloud Drive. Once connected, you will be able to access all your photos and videos from any device. Photos and videos will be automatically backed up with the Auto-Save feature so if your phone is damaged or lost, your photos won’t be.
