Prime Offers Great Deals for Young Adults

Most of us are circling July 8–11 on our calendars for Amazon Prime Day 2025, eager for tech steals and early access offers. But honestly, the real standout deal this year seems to be the new Prime for Young Adults membership. I genuinely wish I still met the age requirement.

Prime for Young Adults is Amazon's revamped membership tier for anyone between 18 and 24 or enrolled as a student. Costing just $7.49 a month or $69 a year—a full 50% off the standard $14.99 Prime price—it comes with zero compromises on the full Prime experience. Plus, it starts with six months completely free.

You get everything: Prime Video with all its movies, series, and Amazon Originals (think Reacher, Fallout, and The Boys), superfast free delivery options (same-day, one-day, two-day), and Prime Gaming with monthly free games and a complimentary Twitch channel subscription.

Speaking of Prime Gaming, members can claim this month’s free games through Prime Day, which includes the Tomb Raider I-III Remastered collection, Saints Row 2, and Star Wars: Rebellion.

Other benefits include ad-free streaming on Amazon Music, unlimited access to eBooks and comics through Prime Reading, unlimited photo storage with Amazon Photos, plus exclusive sale access and early product drops.

A notably underrated perk is complimentary Grubhub+ membership, which waives delivery fees on eligible restaurant orders—a value of about $120 a year included at no extra charge. For summer travel or commuting, members also save $0.10 per gallon (or up to $1 off during special promotions) at BP and Amoco stations nationwide.

Another major hidden bonus is cashback. All Prime members typically earn 5% back on categories like tech, beauty, healthcare, and apparel. During Prime Day, however, this cashback rate doubles to an impressive 10%.

Signing up is simple: students can use a .edu email, while others can verify their age with a government ID. Either way, you begin with a full six-month free trial, no commitment required. Free access to all this? Now that sounds like a true Prime Day bargain.

And as Prime Day approaches, expect even more exclusive member-only offers to appear—from a free three-month Audible trial (also accessible with this membership) to early deals on Amazon devices or free shipping on discounted Pokémon cards. If you qualify, getting a full Prime membership at half the price is practically a no-brainer.
