Get Amazon Prime Free For One Year as a Student
Monday, July 12, 2010 by Mike Bertolino 
Via AmazonHave you heard of Amazon Prime? Probably, but if you haven't here's the low-down. As a Prime Member you pay $79 yearly for free two day shipping on any order on nearly all things on Amazon (including textbooks, school supplies). Pretty solid right?
Well, today Amazon rolled out a membership for students where they will get this service free for one year. So let's get this straight, it's like free free shipping. Wow. Free squared.
You'll be sent some promotional emails with discounts from Amazon. Your subscription to the service is linked to you receiving these emails. If you opt out of the emails you opt out of Amazon prime. Also, you need a valid .edu email address. A small price to pay... definitely. The link's below:

Note that you can apply this to an existing Amazon account too. You still have to enter an university email, but you can still apply it to say your gmail address.
Finally, something of use to me. I probably wouldn't have seen this outside of HackCollege. Thanks!
Wow, this is really amazing that you posted this. I use Amazon constantly and always wonder if it is worth paying for amazon prime. I'm so glad that you mentioned this and allowed others to benefit from this. Woo-hoo!
The posts so far have been great - hoping for some more.
How it can !
Fantastic! I had this on a trial when the spring semester started and it saved me a lot of cash. Now, here it is again for a whole year just before the Fall!
Thank you, Amazon. Now, if only I could magically spawn a credit card as well...
Chase and a number of other companies would be more than delighted to throw a credit card or two at you, Tony. ;P
