4 Ways To Get Free Amazon Prime

Amazon.com is the most popular store on Bargain EZ and for good reason. Amazon rarely charges tax, often times has great prices on everything you could think of, from designer brands to diapers and grocery. Most of the time the only bargain killer is the shipping cost, but this is not something that many Amazoners still deal with, thanks to Amazon Prime.

Amazon Prime is one of those services that once you discover, it gives you a taste of the future of online shopping and when nearly everything ships free within 2 business days, a lot of your in-store shopping will become a thing of the past. More than that, you get one-day shipping for a low $3.99 and unlimited commercial-free video streaming of select movies and TV shows on the new Amazon Instant Video.

Amazon Prime currently costs $79/year, which means that if you place more than 10 orders a year at Amazon.com, you are likely to save more money by buying this membership than by paying the shipping for those 10 items. However, there are ways to get Amazon Prime for free:

Free Amazon Prime For Students

Click here to view the Amazon Student page. You’ll be given the opportunity at the top of the page to join Amazon Student and get the Amazon Prime shipping benefits, for free. You’ll just need to select your school, major and provide an .edu email account where Amazon will send you an email confirmation. Amazon will not renew your membership automatically, and if you’re already an Amazon Prime subscriber but wish to sign up for Amazon Student, you’ll get the prorated membership amount in your account refunded.

Join Amazon Mom by clicking here, it’s a program that gives the primary caregiver of a child, be it a mom, dad, grandma, aunt, sibling, etc., a free Amazon Prime membership for 3 months, after which it gets extended month by month if you spend at least $25 on baby supplies the month before. You can keep extending it like this for up to a year. Also, you get other benefits on baby supplies like various Amazon coupons and an up to 30% off discount on diapers and wipes.

Free Amazon Prime For Your Family

If neither of the above will land you a free Amazon Prime membership, consider asking someone that has either a paid or trial Amazon Prime account that is a family member or a co-worker, to share their Amazon Prime membership benefits with you.
