In a special memo to users, Amazon listed some of the best Prime benefits that are commonly overlooked.
PRIME MEMBERSHIP DISCOUNTS
First up, you can actually get a discount on Prime itself.
Normally you'd pay $14.99 per month (or $139 a year) for Amazon Prime.
But there are some schemes that cut the cost of your Prime bills dramatically.
Amazon explains, "Prime Access, for instance, is just $6.99 per month for qualifying government assistance recipients, including SNAP EBT and Medicaid.
"Prime Student – another discounted membership – is $7.49 per month or $69 per year for members enrolled in two or four-year colleges that includes additional exclusive perks specifically for students."
Additionally, new members can try the standard 30-day trial.
And if you're hoping to check out Prime Student, eligible members can claim a six-month free trial.
