so once it is setup, we can pay for up to 4 years of prime at student rate?
Regarding video and music, I got annoyed when it wanted me to pay more. Give me netflix and spotify anyday

Yup

Just signed up to the student prime using the previous tips. Thanks to the OP of the signup method.

Takes about 30 minutes of your time from start to finish. Well worth it, was hoping for a discounted prime on Prime Day but this is even better.

Hi folks,

what address are you using for the NUS card? Does it have to be a UK one?

I got a 3 year card (like an Idiot!!)
But at least my student end-date is in 3 years time, if any queries arrive in the future I should be covered.

I think I slipped up because I only applied for one year . I'm now afraid they will close this loophole. Anyway to extend it in the settings I wonder

Just a few tips:

I used my actual address for the card, just entered the Parcel Motel postcode as it wouldn’t accept the Irish one.

For the courses, you don’t need to sign up. Just go straight to the NUS website and enter e-Careers as the college. Pick the 1 year card (£12) so it’s cheaper.

Just download the NUS app, login and screenshot the account page.

When I got a reply from Amazon accepting the details I sent I clicked on the link in the email and was able to pick the course end date (latest was 2022 I think). So hopefully the prime account lasts till then.

I tried Prime video and it’s working fine, although it’s the Irish version automatically but I probably won’t use the video much either way.

Nice one!

Looks like I have the 6 month trial of student prime.

"Next Payment:
On 19 January 2019, you will be charged £3.99 for another month of Prime Student."


In the Amazon link, all I had to choose was the year end of my course, nothing else. I put 2023 :pac:

This trick has been around for a couple of years already, posted many times on hotukdeals.

This is great, I have prime now as a student, free for the first 6 months, then only £3.99 a month after that, along with UK prime music and UK prime video that both have apps so I can use it on the go, no long need to use apple music so cancelling that will cover the £3.99 in 6 months time.

The music and video apps are watered down. Even more so in Ireland.

I haven't figured it out myself, on my Samsung smart TV, but if u manage to get the UK prime video working, it'll at least be worth it.

Once you have your student account up and running the code student15 is still valid until the 23rd
£15 off a £60 spend

Can confirm that, uk prime video works on my Samsung smart tv, can’t check the url now but you need to verify with code, primevideo.com/mytv something like that and boom.

But I found quality is very poor compared to Netflix.

Is that off anything in basket? Is it once off or multiple use?

You’re still paying VAT if you’re in Ireland, and at a higher rate.
