How to get Prime Student again?

If you get an email from Amazon telling you that your Student subscription will run out soon then you’re probably wondering how to renew Amazon Prime Student. All you need to do is head to your Amazon account and ‘Manage your student/prime membership’, then follow the instructions there. You may be asked to provide more documentation to prove that you’re still a student then you may have to wait a while for your status to be verified.

Amazon has an Amazon Prime Student 4 year limit, so you are eligible to have Amazon Prime Student for four years only. This means Amazon Student won’t renew after the 4th year. Even if you have a valid student ID for more than 4 years, once you have enjoyed your Amazon Prime Student for 4 years, your Student Prime subscription will lapse and change into a standard Prime subscription.

If you’re wanting to get Amazon Prime Student for more than 4 years here are some tips. Although there is no official way of continuing Amazon Prime Student after 4 years, can you get Prime Student twice? You may try a Prime Student membership extension hack by creating a new Amazon account and starting afresh with your student ID and email. Another solution to getting Amazon Prime Student more than four years is to submit proof of a TOTUM card which has an expiry date after your 4 years subscription.
