Two possible eligibility paths
The current public wording gives customers two distinct ways to qualify: fall within the advertised age range, or qualify as a higher-education student. That is broader than the older idea that the discount is only for traditional undergraduate students.
- Age route
- Eligible customers ages 18-24
- Education route
- Eligible higher-education students
- Nonstudent age 18-24
- Potentially eligible
- Student over 24
- Potentially eligible through student status
What eligibility does not guarantee
Meeting the broad description does not guarantee that a specific account will receive the six-month trial. Previous trials, membership history, verification results and Amazon's current account-level rules can affect the offer shown.
Do not create a second account or enter inaccurate information to force eligibility. Use the offer Amazon presents to your real account.
A fast self-check
- Are you currently between 18 and 24?
- If not, are you enrolled at an eligible higher-education institution?
- Can you complete the verification Amazon requests?
- Does the signup page show the six-month trial on your account?
