With Amazon Prime Day 2025 scheduled for July 8–11, many shoppers are eyeing tech deals and early access offers, but the new Prime for Young Adults membership might just be the best deal of all. Honestly, I wish I still qualified for it.
Prime for Young Adults is Amazon’s updated membership plan for individuals aged 18 to 24, or students. At just $7.49 per month or $69 annually—half the standard $14.99 Prime rate—it comes with every benefit of a full Prime membership. Plus, it’s free for the first six months.

Your membership includes Prime Video with an extensive library of movies, series, and Amazon Originals (like Reacher, Fallout, and The Boys), fast and free delivery (same-day, one-day, or two-day), and Prime Gaming, featuring monthly free games and a complimentary Twitch Channel subscription.
For example, until Prime Day wraps up next week, this month’s free games on Prime Gaming include the Tomb Raider I–III Remastered collection, Saints Row 2, and Star Wars: Rebellion.
You also get ad-free music streaming through Amazon Music, thousands of eBooks and comics on Prime Reading, unlimited photo storage with Amazon Photos, plus exclusive sales and early access to product launches.
One underrated advantage is access to Grubhub+, offering $0 delivery fees on eligible restaurant orders—a $120 annual value included at no extra cost. And if you’re traveling this summer, save $0.10 per gallon (or $1 off per gallon during certain promotions) at BP and Amoco stations nationwide.
Another major bonus is cashback. Standard Prime memberships offer 5% cashback on categories like tech, beauty, healthcare, and fashion. During Prime Day, however, that cashback rate doubles to an impressive 10%.
Signing up is simple: students can use a .edu email address, while others can verify their age with a government-issued ID. Either way, you’ll start with a full six-month trial, completely free. Free perks? Now that’s what I call a real Prime Day deal.
As Prime Day approaches, even more exclusive member-only deals will pop up—like the free three-month Audible trial (also available with your Prime for Young Adults membership), early offers on Amazon devices, or free delivery on price-dropped Pokémon cards. When you qualify, getting Prime at half price is practically a no-brainer.
