Amazon doesn’t have a Prime teacher discount that we could find. Its Prime sign-up page lists four plans, and none of them is for educators: Prime Monthly at $14.99 per month, Prime Annual at $139 per year, Prime for Young Adults at $7.49 per month and Prime Access at $6.99 per month. What does exist is a cash back route. TopCashback’s Amazon page sends Prime memberships to its Amazon Subscriptions page, which advertises up to $15 of the price back.
That makes this a cash back post and not a discount post. Below is what each plan costs, who the two discounted plans are for, and what we couldn’t confirm about the cash back.
How To Get The Prime Teacher Discount
There isn’t a teacher rate to claim. We read Amazon’s Prime sign-up page in a browser and found no teacher or educator wording on it. It offers a free 30-day trial of Prime, then $14.99 per month or $139 per year. The page describes Prime Video as new releases, award-winning Originals and live sports, so if you already stream, the membership may replace a service you pay for elsewhere.
Cash Back Routes We Checked
TopCashback’s Amazon page says: “For Cash Back on Amazon Prime memberships and Music Unlimited subscriptions, please visit the Amazon Subscriptions page.” That page says to get up to $15 of the price back with its Amazon Subscriptions offers, and adds that you only earn cash back in selected departments at Amazon. It doesn’t name Prime itself. TopCashback also has a separate page titled Amazon Prime, and no rate was readable in the text of it, so we can’t tell you what that one pays.
Rakuten’s Amazon terms say cash back isn’t available on subscriptions, digital purchases or gift card purchases, so a Prime membership doesn’t earn it there. Fluz has an Amazon page that sells gift cards with 3% cashback, but it has no page for Prime, and we didn’t confirm that an Amazon gift card balance can pay for a membership. You can start from our TopCashback page, Rakuten page or Fluz page.
If You Qualify For A Discounted Plan
Amazon’s Prime page lists two plans below the regular price. Prime for Young Adults is $7.49 per month after a 6-month trial, and Amazon’s own announcement says it’s $7.49 per month or $69 per year for members enrolled in two or four-year colleges. You can show enrollment with a student ID, transcript or tuition bill. If you’re taking college courses yourself, that plan is worth a look. It doesn’t include Household sharing of Prime benefits.
Prime Access is $6.99 per month after a free 30-day trial, for eligible government assistance recipients or income verified customers. Amazon describes it as a highly discounted Prime membership. We didn’t check which income levels qualify, so read Amazon’s Prime Access page before you apply.
What We Couldn’t Confirm
We didn’t sign in to Amazon or start a membership, so we haven’t seen cash back track on a Prime sign-up. We can’t say whether TopCashback’s up to $15 applies to renewals or only to new members, how long it takes to post, or what you’d actually receive, because the page says “up to.” Amazon’s prices and trials can change, so check the plan page on the day you sign up.
