Amazon Prime for Young Adults discount: Membership, cost, more

It’s Amazon’s world, and we’re just living in it.

Seriously though — we get far too excited when the Prime delivery truck shuffles up to our front door (as we should).

The only thing more exciting than that is knowing you saved money on the whole thing, including the Prime membership itself.

Enter Prime for Young Adults, Amazon’s offer that’s only available to those between the ages of 18 and 24 regardless of student status. Aside from free Prime delivery, students will also receive complimentary Prime Reading, Prime Video, early access to deals and more.

For a limited time, Prime for Young Adults members can also take advantage of a special cash back offer that’ll give 5% cash back on all eligible purchases, and the cash back offer will increase to 10% exclusively on Prime Day (July 8-11, if you’re not in the loop!).

Because we want you to score big on Amazon — perhaps before browsing our guides to top Amazon Prime Day early deals and must-have Amazon beauty products — the Post Wanted team compiled an all-in-one explainer of Prime Student below. All of your info in one place, just how you like it.
