Amazon and Prime are no longer worth the hassle. They no longer do the 2 day delivery like they did before and they have made customer service be no customer service. Their prices are not less than their competition anymore either. Amazon is a waste of money. IF you buy from it, don't buy anything over $50. Read through this sub and you will see time and time again how Amazon is screwing the customer these days. Answer from Valuable-Speaker-312 on reddit.com

I've recently discovered Amazon Prime Student. The annual flat rate is the lowest price I've seen for a streaming service. Taxes not included: USD$59 ($4.92/m), CAD$39 ($3.25/m), GBP£39 (£3.25/m).
Back in college Spotify had the Spotify/Hulu bundle where you pay $5 a month for Spotify and get Hulu for free. After I stopped being a student and was charged the regular $9.99 a month I noticed I still have Hulu for free 3 years later More on reddit.com

Student Amazon Prime account is way too easy to get...

At some point you should be asked to verify your student status, be it with an .edu e-mail account or school documents.

If you go a month on Student Prime ordering stuff, etc. and don't get asked to verify, I'd love to know.

How can I switch my account from Amazon Prime to Prime for Young Adults and students?

How long does an Amazon Prime for Young Adults membership last?
The length of your Prime for Young Adults membership depends on how you enroll. For college students, a membership lasts four years or until graduation — whichever comes first — putting students enrolled at two-year colleges at a disadvantage. Those who use their age to enroll have the membership until 25.

r/amazonprime on Reddit: Prime for Student rate will end, will this this trick work to keep my Student rate ?
October 14, 2024 -

Hello,

I've been using Prime for students for years when I was a student, but I graduated a few years ago, and Amazon kept letting me using it because ( I assume ) the last time I did the validation was on my last year, and that gave me like 4 more years of eligibility. In the recent years, I've been pausing my Prime whenever think I'm not gonna need it, and I resume when I want to buy something, and they only charge me $4.99 CAD.

Last month, I resumed my Prime, and my renewal date is at the end of October 2024.
However, I've just got an email from Amazon saying that my Prime for Students discount rate will end on October xx, 2024. On that date, your Prime membership will automatically renew at the full-price rate.
and they are giving me the option to re-validate ( but I'm no longer a student ).

My question is :

on the website, I still have the option to switch to Annual Prime for students and pay $49 . If I do that, do I get to keep what I paid for, and they won't change it for me during the year and charge me the regular price ?

Thanks
