Prime for Student rate will end, will this this trick work to keep my Student rate ?
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.

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
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?

I live in Australia and prime is cheaper than paying in USD being at $7 AUD per month, which is 5 USD if you convert AUD to USD but if billed from the US Site it turns into $18 AUD, so I'm already saving almost 4x the money, so there's no need to cheese the system with a student membership.
Also correct me I'm wrong, prime student discount is only for 6 months and/or has less perks
Hello everyone,
My Prime Student status just expired because I reached the four-year limit, and I still haven’t graduated. After speaking with customer service, they told me that surpassing the four-year limit doesn’t matter and asked me to send an email with my information. Today, however, I received an email in which they contradicted themselves and confirmed that I had actually reached the four-year limit.
The question is: What if I create a new Amazon account with a different email address and try to get the discount again? Has anyone tried this? If not, does anyone know if starting a master would work? I’m doing my thesis and should start my master in March of next year.
Thanks in advance!
