Amazon Student - It costs a lot to be a student these days, but the Amazon Student program makes it easy to save on essential student gear - and more. Like Amazon Mom, registration to Amazon Student is free and provides access to exclusive offers, coupons and discounts for student essentials. Amazon Student members also receive access to special giveaways, sweepstakes and contests, plus they receive a $10 credit for referring friends to the program, via social media and email...a new customer is Amazon's best friend! Amazon Student members also receive a free six month trial of Amazon Prime and most its perks (minus access to the Amazon media library). What makes the Amazon Prime Student deal even better - is that, after the six month trial period has ended, students can extend their Amazon Prime membership at a 50% discount To qualify for an Amazon Student membership, a valid .edu email address and/or proof of current school/college enrollment status is required. (A note for parents and relatives: Amazon gift cards make great graduation gifts.)
During the holiday season, Lightning Deals are quite popular - and frequent - at Amazon so you want to be sure you don't miss out on any of them. To keep abreast of seasonal Lightening Deals from Amazon, you can download the Amazon mobile app to receive deals on the go, tune in to their social media pages for Lightning Deals announcements or sign up for the Amazon email list to have deals and special offers sent right to your inbox.
No matter what you purchase, we recommend that you checkout with Amazon Prime to get free 2-day shipping on everything. If you're thinking of getting Amazon Prime, then you should know all the benefits it includes - especially for $99 per year! The original purpose of Amazon Prime was to provide free 2-day shipping on all orders with no minimum purchase. Without physical store locations, offering free shipping was effective in making their vast inventory conveniently available to everyone. Over time, Amazon added more perks and features to Prime giving their customers more for their money.
What are Amazon Prime Offers? Amazon Prime Offers are special member's only deals and exclusive offers for shoppers enrolled in their Amazon Prime program that includes free shipping on a myriad of products. For a fee of $99 per year, Amazon Prime members will receive free 2 day shipping on eligible products, early access to Amazon Lightning Deals and other promotions, unlimited access to Amazon's video and music gallery and more. Check the FAQs on the Amazon website to find out more Amazon deals and about Amazon Prime.
What are Amazon Warehouse Deals? Amazon Warehouse Deals are discount offers on used, returned or refurbished items that are not able to be sold as "New", but are still in great, usable condition. The Amazon Warehouse return policy is the same as the regular store return policy, in that buyers have 30 days from the date of purchase to return a Warehouse item for an exchange or refund. You can simply request the return online in your orders page, print return labels and someone will pick it up, it's that convenient. You can visit the Amazon website for more information about how Amazon Warehouse deals work.
While Amazon's Price Protection Policy isn't spelled out on their website, they will refund you the difference if the price of an item that you have purchased drops within 7 days of receiving the item. If this happens, you will have to contact Amazon's Customer Service department for the refund. Be advised that Amazon's Price Protection Policy is only valid on items sold and shipped through Amazon and does not apply to third party sellers.
