I signed up this way but it was with my normal Irish college course. They just wanted proof I was in college

Wheety

I wasn't even in college when I signed up to this on the UK site. Just got a student card and picked elearning as the course, when signing up for card.

They might have changed this since.

Thanks a mill. Worked perfect

unreal, dcu mail works, put in the longest possible date on the course so in theory should have £4 a month prime for a good while now.

You get half price Prime for up to 4 years, after the trial.

After your six-month trial, your Prime Student trial will automatically convert to either a £39 per year or £3.99 per month Amazon Prime membership and you'll gain access to additional benefits including Kindle First. You can receive these benefits at a reduced rate for up to four years with automatic renewal.

I already have "full" prime at the reduced rate from Prime Day sale

If I cancel this, can i then sign up for the student prime?

You don't need to cancel and they even refund the prime you paid for and didn't use. Or at least they did for me a few months back.

Muahahaha

Great spot OP, I think a lot of very elderly students are going to be signing up to this

stevegrace

Cheers OP a right bargain for the next 4 years

banie01

I take it you can't share student prime?
I have a prime account that I share with Wife and son, 6 months free would be nice little saving tbh but having to be their ordering conduit would probably make me wish I hadn't bothered :pac:

Lord Spence

Just took a screenshot of my unidays Id within the app and emailed Amazon and it worked, fair play OP!!

reni10

I just sent them a photo of my student card and they accepted it within 30 mins!

Have Prime now for half price until 2024!

Kerry25x

Thanks OP, worked perfect with my old UCC email even though it was just a .ie email!

Yes, you need access to click a link.

Any details of where you did this? I presume you need to sign up to a place that provide you with an email address

davo2001

Thanks OP, used my existing amazon account and now have 6 months free prime and then half price for 4 years!

Can't get into my old student email to get the confirmation email, fair enough I graduated about 7 years ago haha

S.G.M.

Have never studied in the UK. Any free courses online that make you eligible?

Italix

I can't get the music working, it wants me to pay. Any idea's?

el Fenomeno

Awesome, I have a QUB.ac.uk email address that works. Thanks OP.

sternn

I signed up a couple of days ago with an old college email account I had with no issues. This morning, Amazon just refunded me for my Prime membership I had already fully prepaid for 12 months without even contacting them!

Where do you sign up for a UK online course that gives you a .ac.uk email address

presumably a confirmation email is sent to the student account? i don't have access to mine and may not get it back...

I sent them an email with a photo of my old plc student card ( it is dated for this year but I dropped out) all from my personal email address and got approved. It's the email address that's linked with your Amazon account.

As an ex grad of UCC I am entitled a UCC email for life, I applied for the UCC email yesterday,which I hope to get access to in the coming week and sign up for this, I will keep ye posted as to how it goes.

Maybe other grads are entitled to similiar with other colleges?

WhiteMemento9

How are people signing up with alternative college email addresses from DCU/UCD? The only option I see is .ac.uk email address

Edit - I just tried the email anyway and it worked. Thanks OP

...Ghost...

Thank you OP. I had to email them, but they have given the trial to me and I was already a prime member.

frankz

Thanks very much OP - GREAT DEAL!!!

Just a quick one for others - I hadn't fully realised there was a difference;
Previously I had signed up to Prime Video (which just gets you prime video Ireland ) but now on Amazon Prime

Amazon Music Unlimited is only available in Ireland but has a separate monthly cost (has more songs than Prime Music).

Amazon Prime Music which as mentioned is part of the prime membership but is not available in Ireland, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=GK6S4CC8545EBQSV

But if you add a UK debit/ credit card to your payments options, you will be able to access Prime Music as part of your Prime membership through the Amazon music app.

I used a monzo debit card ( I presume revolut should work) and Amazon Prime Music has been working for me!

Same here from one of the other big colleges, graduated 11 years ago . I have a UK credit card so picked the UK offer with the music - great deal for everything.

Works with tcd.ie address no problem.

OU812

do you get a click for confirmation email to the address or does it just have to be first.last@college.ie

And can you change the email afterwards?

Yes, a confirmation email is sent to your college address and you need to click, in that email, the link to finalise sign up.

You dont need to change the email - from the sign up link you just sign into amazon as normal and then enter college email address.

If you have to contact them manually, you have to change the email to your college email and can change it back after. That is what I had to do. They won't register you unless you use a college email.

UCC Umail works perfectly. Thanks OP.
