How to get 10% back on Prime Day 2025
Now that Prime Day is bigger, better, and longer than ever, Prime for Young Adults is how I’m planning to make the absolute most of it. We’ve got 96 hours, up to 10% back, and a lineup of deals that feel like they get you. Let’s get it!
Prime Day is no longer just a sale; it’s become a cultural juggernaut.
To kick off its second decade, Amazon is pulling out all the stops to make sure us young adults (current college students, the freshly post-grad, and the in-between figuring-it-out crowd) don’t just shop smart, but with an exclusive tool.
Why so exclusive? Prime for Young Adults is Amazon’s re-launched, re-imagined membership exclusively for 18 to 24-year-olds, tailored to how we live, shop, and stream, and stacked with can’t-miss perks dropping just in time to make Prime Day 2025 our personal victory lap.
What’s the Deal(s)?
First, the basics: Eligible new members get 6 months of Prime for free (yes, actually free).
After that, it’s just $7.49 a month or $69 a year, which is exactly half the cost of your parents’ Prime.
You get all the essentials – fast shipping, Prime Video, exclusive savings – 50% off. And Amazon is taking it one step further for Gen Z. With Prime for Young Adults, you now also have access to:
- Get 5% cash back on categories we spend the most on: electronics, beauty, apparel, and personal care.
- Exclusive offers and limited-time deals, such as free same-day shipping, lighting deals, and bonus cash-back boosters throughout the year.
- Enhanced perks like free Grubhub+, RXPass, OneMedical, and members-only deals at Whole Foods.
You think this is too good to be true? We’re not even done yet.
To Be Young on Prime Day
Not only is Prime Day running for 96 hours straight, but for the first time, members also have access to Early Prime Day Deals.
This is your moment to stock up, upgrade, and get ahead without blowing your budget.
Early Deals to Watch For
- Up to 50% off college and dorm essentials, including trusted brands: Command, Levoit, Brita, and more.
- Up to 40% off school supplies.
- Best-selling Tech starts at $15.
- Exclusive deals from brands like Beats, New Balance, Owala, and more.
And if you’re a Prime for Young Adults member during Prime Day? You unlock an extra 5% cash back on beauty, electronics, apparel, and personal care purchases. We know studying’s draining – so we did the math: You’re getting 10% total (that’s 5% plus a 5% bonus).
Need to build your dorm from scratch? There’s an expert-curated “Build Your Dorm” collection with finds as low as $10, and you save $20 once you hit $100 (which won’t be hard with all the stuff you’ll want to buy before heading back to school).
This Isn’t Just Shopping — It’s Strategy
From the ages of 18-24, who knows what your life looks like? You’re balancing independence, new responsibilities, and a budget that feels like it disappears the moment you pay rent. Prime for Young Adults gives us young’uns a playbook for spending smarter.
Easily verify your eligibility by entering your college or uploading a valid student ID or driver’s license. Rest assured that Amazon systems are designed with your security and privacy in mind.
And right now, there’s no better time to join than right before Prime Day. With four full days of deals and bonus cash back to boot, this is when being young finally pays off.
