Amazon student account expiring

57
Posted 14th Mar 2022
Hi all - my Amazon student account is expiring next month, I was using NUS card with some unknown course from one of the education websites. Is there a way I can continue my Amazon student account? By getting another NUS card? Has someone tried this?

    I am a student at the open university (full time course) but I have not been able to sign up for student prime as they don't accept the ou. Email address and I don't have a nus card or headed letter to verify. Ive tried to talk to them multiple times in both live chat and on the phone and they just repeat the things I need like bots despite me telling them my situation. Anyone in a similar situation or know how to fix it? (edited)

    Replying to

    Click on student prime trial on the Amazon site and you'll get an email address to email your nus card details or a screenshot of it or whatever they ask for (don't remember exactly).

    From vast experience they will let you extend it once - so worth just chatting to them. If not, like has been said, open a new account with a new email and use the same NUS card. Works fine

    When mine runs out they'll see orders drop by 90% so they better give me a lifetime student sub.

    Easy peasy! As chaps say above mine run out I share my account so a 10 spot a year. Ebay will sort you out and you’ll get 6 months free! I’ve only just done this myself as I found myself in the same boat and a fellow HUKDer directed me towards this.
    ive notice that this website was great at the beginning ( those of you that were here when we had a for sale section and everything was done on trust, then the site went full mainstream and was infested with , shall we say , a male organ that is use to reproduce, and now seems to be coming together as a bigger, better community!
    Good times and good health to fellow HUKDers! 💪😄

    Do Amazon actually check? I signedup as a Student (by accident) and it went on for at least 2 months. I then realised and they switched me over to the full sub.

    Just simply email them and say you want to renew for a year then they will do that for you. No question was asked:)

    I had a three-year Totum card, which they accepted. Last year, I renewed the Totum card after its three year period expired, foolishly assuming my Student Prime would also be valid for another three years, but Amazon refused to let me have more than one year as an extension. They said the policy was you only get four years as a student, regardless of how long your student card is valid for

    The email said:
    I have scanned through your account and I can see that you've already used the 4 years membership as a one-time exception as we only offer student subscriptions for 4 years only.

    14 April 2021 14 April 2022 UK Student Prime paid
    14 April 2020 14 April 2021 UK Student Prime paid
    14 April 2019 14 April 2020 UK Student Prime paid
    14 April 2018 14 April 2019 UK Student Prime paid
    14 October 2017 14 April 2018 UK Student Prime 6-month trial

    As you've already used the 4 years membership, we're unable to enroll you to prime student again.

    I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. I hope you understand my limitation in this matter as we've to strictly follow our company policies.

    That's correct, they only allow a maximum of 4 years, after that create a new Amazon a/c and sign up as a student again
