I just activated my 90 days free trial prime student (2 hours ago) in order to watch some series tonight on prime video but amazon seems to not recognize me as a prime member : I used my .edu mail in which I received the verification mail. I then clicked the link to verify my account and few minutes later I seem to not be able to use my prime benefits, so I check my subscriptions to verify if my account is considered prime. But it seems like it's not, so I tried to reclaim my free trial but I now have the message : "You have already been verified! Please click here to start discovering your Prime Student benefits." So I wonder if I have to wait (it's been more than 2 hours) or if there's an issue with my account. Did anyone had this issue ?

I recently made an account with my school email and tried to join student prime but the “join amazon student prime” link didn’t work and Amazon never sent me school verification link. For those experiencing the same problems as me or any other registration problems that prevents you from enrolling into Prime Student, I would advise to:

Email [email protected] with a photo/screenshot of proof of enrollment

Proof of enrollment can be your transcript, school schedule, tuition bill, acceptance to uni with current term, and student ID.

Afterwards, it should take a few days for them to verify and enroll you into Prime Student.

I'm 16 yo and I tried getting Amazon Prime Student with my passport and it worked and now I can access all the amazon prime features. But today I got an email that I have to verify my account again because apparently, I'm not eligible for Amazon Prime Student because it requires students to be 19-24 years old. I have some stuff that I have to buy right now, and do you think that I will be able to have all the benefits (free and fast shipping, student exclusive deals) of it without verifying it again?

I had Prime Student all thru my undergrad, but it expired earlier this month. I'm starting graduate school in a few days so I figured "Hey I can still use Prime Student".

I used my grad school email to sign up and it prompted me to verify. My existing regular Amazon prime account tied to my everyday email is still up at $14.99/month however. I also recieved an email on my everyday email telling me to verify for Prime Student.

Should I upload a class schedule or my grad school ID?

I previously had Amazon Prime a couple of years ago and cancelled it because it prompted me to buy things I didn’t need. Yesterday, I was in the process of buying some end tables and I got a prompt at checkout that says “try Student Prime for $6.99/month” or something. I just clicked on it out of curiosity, and then I’m congratulated on joining Prime. I was shocked! I figured it’d ask me a few other questions before just signing me up. Also, I’m not a student and have no idea why it thinks I qualify for a student discount.

I’m slightly annoyed that it was this simple. It’d be so easy for someone to accidentally click that button, and BOOM...on the hook for a membership.

Anyone else do this?

Every time I try to sign up for Prime student I’m sent to a screen that says some like “you are already pre-verified for prime student, continue the process on the next page”. The picture attached is this page, but every time I click become a paid member, it gives me this error message and it won’t give me any answers on how to fix this. I have a student email joined to my account and I have no idea what else to do. Thanks!
