You are going to need an .edu email address, and be enrolled in at least one class. Prime Student is only available for you for four years or until graduation – whichever comes first.
Free same-day, overnight & two-day shipping
As mentioned, you can get free delivery as soon as the same day. This will depend on where you live, and what product(s) you are trying to purchase. But if you order by noon, it can arrive the same day, which is incredible. And much more convenient than running to your local Walmart.
Prime Now
The cities that Prime Now is available in, is still pretty small. So you’ll want to check and see if you live in a city that has it or not.
Prime Student members can also add Prime Video Channels for just $0.99 per month for the first year. This includes channels like HBO MAX, Showtime and more.
Prime Gaming
Free Kindle & Audible Content
With Prime, members are able to borrow a selection of free Kindle ebooks, magazines and much more with their subscription. You will also get a free Kindle book every month from a pre-selected list. Now you may not be getting the New York Times Bestsellers every month, but they are still free books. Prime members can also access a number of podcasts and audiobooks from Audible for free.
Whole Foods
Some locations will do grocery delivery as well.
Alexa & Early Deals
Prime members can also get exclusive deals from Alexa. Just ask Alexa “What are your deals” and she’ll list them off. You can then purchase them with your voice, making it super easy to take advantage of these sales.
What added benefits does Prime Student bring?
So we’ve gone over everything that regular Prime members get. But what do Prime Student members get in addition to those perks? There are a few, but not too many.
Grubhub+ Student
Probably one of the biggest perks is Grubhub. AS a Prime Student member, you will get free monthly Grubhub+ Student membership. Which allows you to earn 10% on Grubhub+ Cash on all off-campus pick-up orders. Which can really add up if you are ordering from Grubhub a lot. This is really going to be useful for those students that are not living on campus.
Up to 10% off Travel with StudentUniverse
If you’re going to school out of town or even out of state, then this is a really useful perk to have.

Is there a catch to Prime Student?
Other than that, the biggest catch is that you do need to be enrolled in at least one class, and it only lasts for up to four years. As mentioned before, Prime Student lasts for four years or until you graduate, whichever comes first. Even if you get your Bachelor’s after four years and continue on for your Master’s or other degrees, you won’t be able to keep Prime Student unfortunately.
