    do you have any links to the site you signed up with?
    did you get an .ac.uk email account?

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

    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.

    My WIT addy worked. Thanks OP.

    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.

    Emailed them a scan of my UCD student card & got accepted within 20mins

    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.

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 95 ✭✭stevegrace


    Cheers OP a right bargain for the next 4 years


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭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:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,136 ✭✭✭Lord Spence


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,151 ✭✭✭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!


  • Registered Users Posts: 554 ✭✭✭Kerry25x


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

    Do Amazon send a verification email to the college email address?
