It is almost prime time for buying textbooks. Most of the semester schools are in the first weeks, and the quarter system schools are about to start. In looking for the best deals for textbooks, I can across a program called Amazon Student.
What is Amazon Student?
Amazon Student is a great incentive from Amazon for college students. It gives you:
- Unlimited FREE 2-Day Shipping on textbooks and millions of other items
- No minimum order size
- Upgrades to 1-Day shipping for only $3.99
- Email alerts on exclusive deals
What Other Perks Does It Offer?
Amazon Student also offers one of my favorite perks: Free release date delivery on video games, DVDs, and books. This means that you can make sure that you get your copy on the day it comes out! No waiting or worrying the item will sell out at your local store, or placing an order and having it sit in backorder while all your friends start playing.
Think of Amazon Student as a discounted version of Amazon Prime. Instead of paying the usual $79/annually with Amazon Prime, you get a discount to $39/annually, up to four years.
How To Sign Up
If you are a student, all you have to do is be currently enrolled in a college or university, and have a valid .edu email address to confirm your status.
You also can sign up using Facebook, which will pull some of your information to confirm that you are a student.
