With Amazon Prime Day 2025 confirmed for July 8–11, shoppers are eyeing tech deals—but the new Prime for Young Adults membership might be the best offer available. As someone past the eligibility window, I genuinely envy those who qualify.
Amazon's redesigned Prime for Young Adults offers full benefits at half price ($7.49/month or $69/year) for ages 18-24 or students. The kicker? It's completely free for the first six months.

Enjoy a six-month trial before the $7.49 monthly rate kicks in—that's 50% off the standard $14.99 Prime cost.
Members get everything: Prime Video (including hits like Reacher and The Boys), ultra-fast shipping, Prime Gaming with free monthly titles (currently Tomb Raider Remastered and Star Wars: Rebellion), plus a Twitch channel subscription.
Additional perks include ad-free Amazon Music, unlimited reading through Prime Reading, photo storage via Amazon Photos, and exclusive shopping events.
Hidden gems include Grubhub+ ($120/year value with free delivery) and fuel discounts at BP/Amoco stations. During Prime Day, cashback doubles to 10% on key categories.
Enrollment is simple: verify student status with a .edu email or confirm age with ID. Beyond the six-month trial, expect member-exclusive perks like Audible trials, early access to device deals, and free shipping on collectibles.
At half the standard Prime cost, this membership is unbeatable for eligible young adults—especially with Prime Day approaching.
