better off going the UK route, I signed up to the cheapest UK Online course I could find then got 6months free and next 3.5yrs half price as they offer student prime for duration of course and I put mine down as 4yrs

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.

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

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:

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!

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

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