Amazon doesn’t have a Prime teacher discount, and ID.me doesn’t list one either. Prime is $14.99 a month or $139 a year after a free 30-day trial. If you want money back on it, TopCashback sends Prime memberships to its Amazon Subscriptions page, which says up to $15 of the price back.
A teacher who is also a college student or on government assistance may qualify for one of Prime’s two cheaper plans, covered below.
How To Get The Prime Teacher Discount
There’s no teacher rate to claim. The cheapest way to try Prime is the free trial, and the cash back route is the way to save after that:
- Open Amazon’s Prime page and start the free 30-day trial, or pick a plan.
- Before you sign up, go to TopCashback with the button below, search for Amazon Subscriptions and click through from there.
- Sign up for Prime from that click. TopCashback says you only earn cash back in selected departments at Amazon.
TopCashback lists it as “up to” $15, so you may get less. Check the total before you pay, and keep the Amazon tab open until you’ve finished signing up.
What Each Prime Plan Costs
Prime Monthly is $14.99 a month and Prime Annual is $139 a year. Both start with a free 30-day trial, so the first month costs nothing either way, and you can cancel before the trial ends.
Prime for Young Adults is $7.49 a month and is for 18 to 24 year olds and students. Prime Access is $6.99 a month and is for qualified government assistance recipients. Amazon lists both on the same Prime page, and each starts with a free trial too.
Where Else Cash Back Doesn’t Work
Rakuten’s Amazon terms don’t pay cash back on subscriptions or digital purchases, so a Prime membership won’t earn Rakuten cash back. That leaves TopCashback as the one route for Prime itself. Amazon devices are the one place teachers do get a markdown: ID.me lists teachers up to 40% off Amazon Devices. For that, see our Amazon teacher discount post.
