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.) 

Amazon Lightning Deals are easy to find, flash discounts on select products that last for a limited time - usually around 4 hours or less. To get in on Amazon's Lightning Deals, visit Amazon.com, click on 'Today's Deals' and find the Lightning Deal you want to take advantage of. Add the item to your cart and a timer will let you know how long you have to redeem the offer and make the purchase before the deal expires. You have to be quick to get in on the good deals, but you can use handy tools like the Amazon Lightning Deals Calendar and the Amazon Lightning Deals app to alert you to new offers so that you never miss out on a great deal again! Don't forget these deals can also sell out, so it's a race against time and other savvy shoppers! During Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, expect Amazon to feature their very best deals in their Lightning Deals section. You can even sign-up for email alerts to make sure you never miss a deal.
