If you do the one month free Prime trial, can you add people with that? If so, you could do your one month free trial, then start a one year free student Prime. The people you added during the one month free trial should still be on the account.

I just paid $40 to continue Prime -- it is more than worth it in my opinion.

I signed up for AMZ Mom prime...apparaently, Maui Jim sunglasses are considered "Mom" purchases and netted me 5 extra months! I'm good through Christmas!!

You have to buy something to qualify? Can't you just sign up?

I have read that this is possible as well. I key is to get "regular" Prime to be able to add people.

I believe signing up for a trial is free, but if you spend a certain amount of $$ on "Mom" products then they will extend your membership for a certain amount of time.

Yep. Amazon just sent me an email saying I can continue Prime for $39. I may do it, or I may see if my friend will let me register her for a free Prime membership on Amazon and I'll use it. She never shops on Amazon.

This is correct. AMZ mom gives you 3 mos free and another month for every $25 in mom prods you buy up to a certain amount of months

Mine ended yesterday as well. I will probably get the one for students during the holidays.

For me in the long run, I probably saved tons of time and money ordering a lot of small orders and didn't have to look around for a while to see what could I get to push my order over $25. Over the past seven months, I have about 40 orders and about 30 of them were around $10.

I don't know any specifics about my purchasing history, but I have saved money as well. Plus it was fantastic to get two day shipping for Christmas orders. I'd see something I wanted for myself or others, and I could get it without worrying about the shipping fees. I think that it would be a more attractive option if Amazon would split the cost of Amazon prime into monthly payments. I dislike the idea of having to pay $79 at once, even though it is worth the money imo. But I do not have to worry about that this year I'll only pay $39.

For anyone who has Amazon student it says you get the $39 price for 4 years as long as your student status is active

They do, I just got a letter saying my prime is up in a month and they are going to give it me back for I think 35.00, which I'm going to take. Also, when you pay it, you get the streaming and everything this time.

I paid the $79 for the year this past January after the free 2-week trial you get for first signing up. I find it to be WELL worth it, especially since I can invite up to 5 family members, and my dad and I shop A LOT there.

My membership is expiring, so I put in a bunch of pre-orders. They still give you the free shipping on those.

I was yoking the prime for a good year, started with the 1 month, then it was 1 year I think with the student. And now I got it locked in for 40$ for 3 years I believe. Totally worth it, even if you add both the gas and taxes up if you were to drive to target or bb.(except when they got real good deals).

I was on a 3 month trial and i ended up hitting renew by mistake but it's the best mistake ever..

It's well worth the cost and the benefits that come along with it I will be renewing in Feb.

Are you saying you got three years for $40 or $40 per year?
