- In order to verify that you’re a student, you’ll need to upload a scan or image of your student ID, a transcript or class list with your name on it, your tuition bill with your name on it, or an official acceptance letter for the upcoming term.[5]
[Edit]Click on the “Today’s Deals” page.
- Take advantage of limited-time discounts. Amazon maintains a page dedicated to deals and discounted items. It’s updated on a daily basis so click on the link and take a look through the items to see if there’s anything you’re interested in. Snag any discounted items you want while they’re priced low.[6]
- Visit Amazon’s Today’s Deals page here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox?ref_=nav_cs_gb_8b76f3deb4464058af8eb975e65f885d.
[Edit]Use Amazon Coupons on specific items.
- Save the digital coupons and use them at checkout. Click on the Amazon Coupons page and take a look through it. Keep an eye out for coupons that will work on items that you buy a lot or on items that you’re interested in purchasing. Click on the “Clip Coupon” option to save the digital coupon to your cart so they can be automatically applied when you check out.[7]

[Edit]Choose “Subscribe and Save” for repeat buys.
- If you buy certain items regularly, use this feature to save money. If you purchase an item or product on a regular basis, whether it’s weekly or monthly, you can save up to 15% simply by using Amazon’s Subscribe and Save service. Choose the option to “subscribe” to the item and set how many and how often you want them shipped to you.[8]
- For instance, if you buy a bag of dog food once every month, you might as well sign up for the feature to save some money on it! You can choose to have 1 bag sent to you each month.
[Edit]Check out Amazon Warehouse Deals.
- Look through the open box and used products for reduced prices. If an item is opened and then returned to Amazon, or if there are used items that were traded in, then Amazon will put them up in their Amazon Warehouse Deals. You can get great discounts on products that have been tested by Amazon to make sure they’re still working.[9]
- Returned, warehouse-damaged, used, and refurbished items are all sold on the Amazon Warehouse Deals page.
- Visit the Amazon Warehouse Deals page here: https://www.amazon.com/Warehouse-Deals-50-Closeout/b?ie=UTF8&node=16284154011.
[Edit]Look through the Amazon Outlets hub.
- Check out the markdowns, clearance items, overstocks, and more. The Amazon Outlets hub features items that have had their prices reduced in an effort to get them sold. Avoid paying full price for items by checking through the page for things that you like. Browse different filter options for different items and deals.[10]
- To browse Amazon Outlets, visit https://www.amazon.com/Outlet/b?ie=UTF8&node=517808.
[Edit]Choose the no-rush shipping option.
- If you don’t mind the wait, you can save some money. The standard shipping charge from Amazon guarantees that your items will arrive within 2 days. But if you don’t mind potentially waiting an extra day or so, you can choose the option for free, no-rush shipping. You’ll immediately receive a discount on your order or a reward to your account once your order ships.[11]
- Amazon defines “no-rush” as within 6 business days. So if you don’t mind waiting about a week, you can get a nice discount.
[Edit]Convert old gift cards.
- Turn them into Amazon gift cards you can use. If have some old gift cards lying around such as Visa or Express gift cards, you can convert them into Amazon gift cards. Log into Amazon and visit the eGift Card page. Enter your gift card info and apply it to an Amazon gift card that you can use on the site.[12]
- For instance, if you have a bunch of old gift cards with low balances on them, you can combine them all into an Amazon gift card.
[Edit]Set up a bonus on your reloadable gift card.
- Get a 2% bonus whenever you reload and use it. If you have an Amazon gift card, you can reload it and add more money to the balance. Whenever you do, you can earn a 2% bonus. Use the debit card that’s linked to your account and the extra bonus will be added to the gift card’s balance whenever you reload it.[13]
- You can also earn a 2% bonus whenever you reload an Amazon gift card that you’ve given to someone else!
[Edit]Use an online coupon site.
- Enter coupon codes to get discounts on certain items. There are a bunch of coupon sites such as Groupon, The Krazy Coupon Lady, and Coupons.com. Visit them and look for coupons that you can use on items that you buy from Amazon. Grab the coupon’s discount code and apply it to your Amazon order at checkout to save some extra money on your purchase.[14]
- Additionally, there are groups on social media sites like Facebook that are dedicated to finding deals on Amazon. You can join them and take advantage of the deals that interest you.
[Edit]Tips
- Keep in mind that deals are constantly updating on Amazon. So if you want something, but it’s too expensive, you can try checking back on it later.
[Edit]Warnings
- Be careful about giving out your financial information online, especially on other websites that aren’t secure like Amazon.
