If you are a student or have students in your life, Amazon is offering a nice bonus when you purchase textbooks right now.
You will need to have a .edu email address and you can still register for one year of free Prime. (Read more about free Amazon Prime for students here- but basically it is a free shipping service and it is awesome.)
Then if you purchase $50 or more in qualifying textbooks, you will also get a bonus $5 Video on Demand credit and a $5 MP3 credit.
I put myself through undergrad and graduate school and I remember those hefty bills from the bookstore quite clearly. If you can get your books for the same price or cheaper from Amazon this is a fantastic perk!
Thanks Frugal Coupon Living.
I have the free Amazon Prime for students and it’s fantastic! And it’s good on any Prime item, not just textbooks! I have saved sooo much since I got it in July.
And I second buying textbooks online, not in school bookstores! The prices are INSANE there!
I agree, its like they are trying to rip you off on TOP of the tution bah. I always do amazon.com and sell the books back to students at a better price. I got on this deal when I bought a book for next semester. spent it on the tangled soundtrack. yes!!!
