How to get Amazon Prime for 50% off: The two ways to qualify in 2026
"Amazon's Prime for Young Adults plan gets college students and other young people aged 18-24 a big break on the membership. This revamped program was unveiled in 2025 and replaces the previous Prime Student plan. With the plan, a Prime Membership costs $7.49 per month or $69 per year -- saving you 50% off the regular price. Perhaps most enticingly, the membership starts with a free 6-month trial (5 months longer than Amazon's standard 1-month trial). After the 6-month trial, the monthly price is charged, and you can always cancel beforehand if you'd like."
"Prime for Young Adults is valid for four years or until age 25, after which it converts to a standard Prime membership unless canceled. To qualify, you must either be 18-24 years old or currently enrolled in a higher education institution. There are a few other key details to know, including a verification process, but ZDNET has a helpful guide on how to secure these savings."
"Amazon does not offer a traditional senior discount on Amazon Prime. However, some older adults may qualify for a discounted Prime rate if they are eligible for the Prime Access plan. Via the Prime Access plan, qualifying government assistance recipients and income-verified customers can get Amazon Prime"
Amazon Prime Day returns in June, but Prime membership discounts may be available earlier. Prime typically costs $139 per year or $15 per month, which is about $11 per month when paid annually. Prime for Young Adults offers a reduced rate for people aged 18-24 or those enrolled in higher education, replacing the prior Prime Student plan. The plan costs $7.49 per month or $69 per year, includes a free six-month trial, and can be canceled before charges begin. Eligibility lasts for four years or until age 25, then converts to standard Prime unless canceled. Prime Access provides discounted Prime pricing for qualifying government assistance recipients and income-verified customers.
