In a previous post, I mentioned Amazon giving away a year free of Amazon Prime to students. The only screening requirement was essentially a .edu e-mail address. My brother who is years older and has been out of school for quite some time managed to get in on the deal and revealed to me the source of his .edu e-mail address. It turns out you can get a free .edu e-mail address from Australia.edu easily. I haven’t had a use for a .edu address since I joined Facebook in 2005 and they required all new users to have .edu addresses (it was better back then).

  1. I also wrote a post about getting a free year of Amazon Prime for Students on my blog, PFStock.

    One thing that I noticed about the Amazon Student offer was that under Amazon’s terms & conditions, item (3) states that you must “be able to provide proof of enrollment upon request”. Do you know if anybody has been requested to provide this information to Amazon? I am curious how strictly they enforce this rule.

  2. I highly doubt you’d be requested to provide proof unless you were engaged in highly irregular activity order patterns.

  3. Excellent resource. Thank you for the tip on the australia.edu
