Amazon Student

15 Jul

I recently came across an offer from Amazon.  They are now offering their Amazon Prime service for free to college students.  I not a huge fan of Amazon Prime because of the price.  If you are an active Amazon user you might find value in it, but I buy maybe 1 item a month from Amazon.  The usual price is $79 a year to get 2 day shipping on everything Amazon sells.  You can upgrade to next day shipping for #3.99 an item if you need your stuff faster.  If are a current college student and have a .edu email address,  you can go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/student/signup/info to sign up.  For the low price of FREE I believe it’s worth the price.
