The program is essentially a rebrand of Prime Student, timed carefully to drive new memberships ahead of Prime Day, which takes place in mid-July. This isn't the first time we've heard of Prime for Young Adults, either. On November 25, 2024, an Amazon blog post announced the launch of Prime for Young Adults, with the same six-month trial offer and 50% price discount. Coincidentally, that November announcement came just four days before the start of Black Friday.
Amazon Prime is the shopping behemoth's hugely successful membership program, and it comes with perks such as free delivery and returns and access to Prime Video. Prime for Young Adults is slightly more inclusive than Prime Student, as not all young people will go to college or other educational programs after they turn 18.
Both Prime Student and Prime for Young Adults provide a number of perks for young people:
A six-month trial for $0
All the benefits of Prime membership for 50% off (after trial period ends)
Access to reduced pricing of $7.49/month or $69/year
Free Grubhub+ and $0 delivery fees
5% cash back on beauty, apparel, electronics, and personal care products
During Prime Day, earn 10% cash back on select beauty, apparel, electronics, and personal care products
Special deals throughout the year, double or triple cash back boosters on popular brands, and "exclusive surprise and delight experiences," per Amazon
Free Amazon Photos cloud storage
