Costco Earnings Call. Some interesting tidbits here, “In terms of new card, as was mentioned over the last couple of quarters on these calls, there were approximately 11.4 million AMEX, American Express co-branded cards or about 7.5 million accounts that were transferred from American Express to Citi for conversion to the new Citi Visa Anywhere card as over 85% of the accounts transferred over have been activated.”
Six Months Of Amazon Prime Student For Free. Not sure if this is a new deal, but six months of Amazon Prime student edition for free thanks to Sprint. Thanks for using our link and supporting the site if you do use it!
I’d like to continue my prime membership but I don’t see the option of paying with amazon gift card so i gave up. I thought before someone mentioned that you could pay membership fee with gift card balance, but i guess they changed the rule?
You can’t technically pay for your membership with a gift card. However, you should be able to purchase the “gift of prime” using your gift card balance. Then, use the gift of prime for yourself.
Really? How? Do i have to use a different name for this to work or can just use my own name and they don’t care? Thanks for your help!

Amazon Student has been 6 months Prime for free for many years now (A long time ago it was a full year free). After that, they offer $50/year for a little while before making you prove your current student status with a transcript or schedule. IIRC, Amazon Student has all of the benefits of Prime including video and music streaming except it has no household sharing.
You can get 4 years out of it before they want anything more than a .edu email. I still have my college email address and I just set myself as graduating 4 years from the time I signed up. It was only at the end of those 4 years that they asked me to provide a transcript to keep the discount going.
