How to Get Amazon Prime

As the name describes, Amazon Prime Day is limited to those Amazon members who have an Amazon Prime membership. If you do not have a Prime membership, your best bet is to sign up for a free trial. It will give you 30 days of free prime access.

However, if you want to purchase a full membership, the cost is currently $119 for the year. Alternatively, you can also pay by the month — 12.99 per month — which might be a better option if you are looking for a membership only during Amazon Prime Day, during Black Friday/Cyber Monday and throughout the holiday period.

For a full membership, TopCashBack is offering members $15 cash back by signing up through their site. Or, if you happen to have a student e-mail address, you can get an Student Amazon Prime membership for half price or a free 6-month trial membership.

You may want to note this $10 credit only works for exactly a $40 card. I had just clicked $50 figuring that this meant $40 or more but nope – has to be exactly $40 or the code will get an error.

I used the link, entered $40 as the custom amount of the gift card, added to cart, went to cart and entered the code. Result: “The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase.”

Same here. Maybe this applies only to the primary Prime account holder?

I’ve tried the $100 reload TWICE (once with my account, once with my wife’s sign-in) and neither said it added the $10. So, while I expect to have $200 on our account, I’d like to see the $20 mentioned above!
