The Prime for Young Adults membership costs $7.49 per month or $69 per year, which is about half the price of a regular Prime membership. New members who qualify can try it for free for six entire months. To prove you are eligible, you just need to show a driver’s license, passport, or ID to confirm your age. College students in a two- or four-year school can also use an .edu email address instead.

Prime for Young Adults lets 18 to 24 year-olds and students enjoy the full benefits of Prime for just $7.50 a month. Just in time for Prime Day, you can get a six-month trial before committing to the subscription!

This seems like it's just Amazon Prime for students, since that subscription also cuts the cost of Amazon Prime by half. I tried this back when I was in college and wasn't going to keep it, but the benefits and savings of Amazon Prime are why I continued to subscribe after getting my degree. This is likely Amazon's way of getting more customers who are on the fence about a Prime subscription.

One big advantage of Prime for Young Adults is its focus on cash-back savings. For a limited time, members will always get 5% cash back on purchases in popular categories like beauty, clothing, electronics, and personal care. These categories were picked to match what young adults usually buy, but they also sound like the most popular categories to shop on Amazon.

On top of that, the membership boosts savings even more during Amazon’s Prime Day event, which runs from July 8 to 11. During those days, Prime for Young Adults members will get 10% cash back on the same popular categories, doubling the usual rate. This means members can combine these bigger savings with other Prime Day deals to get the most for their money.

The Prime for Young Adults membership includes all the main benefits of a standard Prime membership. That means members get Amazon’s fast and free shipping, including Same-Day and One-Day Delivery on tens of millions of eligible items. You also get Prime Video, which has access to a huge library of shows and movies, including those that used to be on Freevee.

For music fans, Amazon Music offers ad-free streaming of 100 million songs and a wide variety of podcasts. Book lovers can read thousands of books and comics, while those who love video games get free games through Prime Gaming, plus a free Twitch channel subscription. Members also get unlimited photo storage with Amazon Photos, so they can safely keep all their pictures.

There are plenty of benefits to a Prime subscription, and I know that I use it incredibly often. If you're in the age group of 18 to 24, you should try this deal out.
