Free places are available to anyone who meets the criteria below.
all the guy did was send me a photoshopped Birmingham uni screenshot with my name on. Sent it off myself to Amazon student link and they verified it. Surprisingly lo
Yeah just saw someone offering the prime student account for £2.50... Would also be interested to see how it works or whether it's a scam

Screenshot worked for me 18 months ago. Amazon CC are very helpful.
looks like it requires a telephone consultation to enroll on the course. do you have to go through with the full course or can you just enroll and not complete the course?
I had no telephone consultation.
I got my 6 month free student Amazon prime on enrolment and they offered me an extension at the student rate without asking for the qualification progress so I assume they don't care.
It's an easy qualification with transferable skills that you can do in your own time so i don't see why you would want to abandon it anyway.
i opted for the IT essentials course. which one did you enroll on?
Lean organisation management techniques lol
cool, i think they all say a telephone consultation required but dont actually provide one. i could do with improving my IT skills so yes i will hopefully complete it. thank you
Select that on what?
If you go to Totum.com (used to be the NUS) and register - it will ask which College/University you study at - select Toum Alumni and it will accept it - all the others will ask to 'verify your student email address'
That way, you don't need to buy a course (unless of course you want to study)
But you still have to buy the card right?
Yeah £24.99 for 3 years which gets you first 6 months of Prime free, then £39 a year for the remainder of the validity of the card
So the above method by MadeDixonsCry is cheaper, being free?!
That may be the case, but paying for the card also gets discounts in stores (Boots/Superdrug/Co-op etc) and is guaranteed for the length of the card - unsure how long the course referred to above would satisfy Amazon to let you keep getting prime ? (albeit you could just re-enrol I suppose)
Ok, I thought I was missing something.
I wondered why somebody would post a method of getting Amazon Prime Student for £24.99 when a free method had already been posted!
Sorry I should have pointed out the extra perks - paying for the card works better for me as I regularly shop at Co-Op so the savings start adding up
You'd probably save more by shopping at any other supermarket tbh
I do my main shops at Tesco or Asda - but my local 'corner' shop is a CO-OP so if (well, when as I am dosey and always forget things!) I need a top-up shop, then co-op is easier
My friend tried and they refunded minus £7.99 for each month used
What student thing that costs you a tenner?
You don’t have to buy the card, download the Totum app and you get a digital card, then forward that on to Amazon. It works. I now have a student prime about 7 years after finishing my studies lol!
This isn’t true, I did it at the weekend without paying a penny. They even give you 6 months free prime to start. Download the Totum app and you have a digital card, then only want to see a finishing date for your course
Hi, how did you get a digital card? I have downloaded the app, verified as an alumni, (2 of 3 stars as continue registration to BUY a card) but no free card in my digital wallet. It keeps directing me to buy a card £15-25.
does this still work as my amazon prime student is going to end and i want to make a new account
all the guy did was send me a photoshopped Birmingham uni screenshot with my name on. Sent it off myself to Amazon student link and they verified it. Surprisingly lo
I thought the maximum you get is 4 years?
It is, hence why I said im now a student again 7 years after my studies by signing up to this.
I can't even find an option for a digital card.
I’m unsure if you still can, there’s a large thread on it somewhere, I just followed the steps, I did it about two months ago, I’m on mobile so can’t search probably but if you search Totum and see a thread with huge heat, that’s probably the one.
NO, it doesn't work at all, after you create an account and submit all your informations, you'll find out there's no places available, what a scam. And who posted this on here just ignore this comments.
Trying to do this as of now. Which email did you send?
Have already sent one of the emails but Amazon are asking for something that contains my name, college name, course name and dates.
I have managed to enrol and have been given a username and password to use for my course.
I sent a screenshot of the following tabs from the Vision2Learn portal:
"My Study" and "My college".
Bear in mind, this was back in 2017 so the portal may well have changed since then. The screenshots covered everything they are asking you for except for an end date (my end date was blank).
I am not a student, can I proceed to join, do they ask proof later?
I did this but only extended it for a year. Do you reckon if I do the same method again I'll get caught?
Don't think this works anymore for anyone interested asks for a verification code now
