Amazon also offers discounts to students, military personnel, and seniors. If you are a college student, you can take advantage of an Amazon Prime Student membership for a six-month trial. With this, you get exclusive student discount deals and offers along with free two-day shipping. While there are no specific discounts for seniors, they can still get Amazon Prime for $5.99 per month. They only need to present their EBT or Medicaid card to qualify for the special offer. Military personnel are not eligible for any special Amazon programs, but Amazon has recently launched Amazon Prime Veterans Day discounts for active duty personnel. Service members including Reserve Troops can take advantage of an Amazon Prime membership for $79 per year.
