Amazon is offering discounted flights to Prime Student members. If you’ve never heard of Prime Student, it’s a discounted Amazon Prime membership offered to two or four-year college students.
Prime Student
Prime Student is a membership program created for higher education students.
Membership Benefits
As a Prime Student member, you receive Amazon Prime benefits for a trial period of six months, courtesy of Sprint. You may be offered an additional 30-day Free Trial of Amazon Prime benefits during your student tenure.
After your trial, your Prime Student membership makes you eligible to receive a discount on Amazon Prime, including the benefits of Prime plus Student-exclusive deals and discounts.
After four years or the end of your studies (whichever comes first), your Prime membership will convert to a normal Prime membership at the end of the membership year for the annual fee applicable then.
Prime Student membership includes:
- Fast, Free Delivery on millions of items
- Exclusive deals for student members from top brands
- 30-minute early access to select Lightning Deals
- Prime Video: unlimited streaming of thousands of movies and shows
- Amazon Music Prime: stream more than two million songs
- Amazon Photos: free unlimited photo storage
- Prime Gaming: exclusives and free in-game loot
- Ultrafast grocery delivery from Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market (in select cities)
While Prime Student membership provides many of the same discounts available to Amazon Prime members, it also provides discounts from StudentUniverse. Amazon Prime Student members typically receive a 10% discount on flights booked via StudentUniverse.
Nope, no fee involved—just savings! StudentUniverse offers discounted travel for college students and youth under 26 with a completely free membership. By activating this exclusive StudentUniverse offer for Prime Student members, you can unlock even more savings.
However, Prime Student and StudentUniverse are unlocking a promo where students can possibly book $25 flights home for the holidays.
According to the StudentUniverse, 1,000 of the $25 tickets will drop each day.
Prime Student members can visit the Prime Student x StudentUniverse page starting at 6 a.m. PST on December 5 to book tickets on select domestic flights (while supplies last) for travel between mid-December and early January for just $25. A total of 3,000 $25 flight tickets will be available during this promotion—with 1,000 tickets dropping each day, starting at 6 a.m. PST on December 5, and at 12 a.m. PST on December 6 and 7.
If you don’t know what a drop is, you haven’t tried getting a pair of Nike’s from the SNRKS website. Trust me, it’s definitely an IYKYK thing. The people eligible for Amazon Prime Student know exactly what it means when an offer for $25 flights drops at a specific time.
As a student eligible for Prime Student, you can grab a cheap holiday flight home by signing up for the StudentUniverse page. Keep an eye out for the 3,000 $25 flights available on December 5th, 6th, and 7th.
The deal is valid for outbound domestic flights from December 8, 2023 to December 25, 2023 and returning flights from December 8, 2023 to January 14, 2024
Once those 3,000 tickets are claimed, StudentUniverse will run a trailing promotional offer, which will give Prime Student members $25 off flights with a promotional code. While it’s not the same as a $25 round-trip fare, it’s better than nothing.
