Whether you’re looking to buy new dorm room furniture or rent your textbooks, Amazon is great about sending only relevant emails to its student members.
While Amazon Student members are able to use several Amazon Prime benefits, there are a couple of Prime-only perks that can be had for a discount as well. Amazon Student members are eligible to receive a 50% discount on a full Prime membership, which comes with the Amazon Prime Instant Video streaming service and the ability to borrow any of 350,000 free Amazon Kindle E-Books– with no due dates.
