Our Verdict
Pretty good deal if you’re a student and want Amazon prime. As I mentioned the standard deal (at least as far as I know) is just the six month free trial, so the bonus here is really the $15 off code. Somebody please correct me if that is wrong. Don’t forget to stack for more Amazon discounts:
- Use a credit card that earns at a high rate on Amazon purchases
- Go through the JetBlue portal for 3x points
- Get $10 Amazon Digital Credit when you Add $50 Amazon Cash In-Store
- Amazon: Reorder Using Alexa & Get $5 In Free Credit [Prime Only]
- Amazon: Get $25 off $50 by Using 1 Membership Rewards Point [Targeted Offer] – Works If Used Before
DOC, is this a one time offer or a recurring one?
Not sure, not available currently AFAIK
$15 promo credit does not apply to third party gift cards. Does not apply to kindles either.
For anyone with a Fidelity Visa Signature card, I just got an email with an offer for $25 back after 3 purchases of at least $25. The offer explicitly includes gift cards, so you could essentially get $75 in amazon gift cards for $50.
Do you have to have a “.edu” email?
Yes
yes. and some “.alumni.edu” emails don’t work, at least for me.
