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!

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
