Try Amazon Prime free for 30 days, get six months of Prime as an eligible student or 18–24-year-old, or read with Kindle Unlimited’s 30-day trial. Below are the benefits, current subscription offers and our links to get started.
Compare the offers below, or see our Amazon free trials roundup. Standard trial lengths are listed upfront; limited-time promotions carry an end date. Eligibility and the renewal terms shown at signup still apply.
Shop Amazon’s current deals
Browse Amazon UK’s current deals and discounts (paid link). This is the everyday deals page rather than a dated event promotion. Some offers require Prime membership. Compare the exact model, seller, delivery cost and price elsewhere before buying: a discount badge does not automatically mean the best price.
Prime, students and young adults
Amazon Prime: 30 days free
Get a month of eligible fast delivery, included Prime Video films and series, Prime Reading and member-only deals. Available to eligible new members; cancel before renewal to avoid paying.
- 30-day free trial
- Delivery + Prime Video
- Eligible new members
Students and 18–24-year-olds: 6 months of Prime free
Get six months of Prime delivery and entertainment benefits, then discounted membership. Open to eligible higher-education students or anyone aged 18–24, including non-students. Verification required.
- 6-month trial
- Students or aged 18–24
- Discounted Prime afterwards
Prime Video is included in the standard 30-day Amazon Prime trial: watch included films and series for a month alongside your delivery benefits. We have not verified a general three-month free Prime Video offer. Rentals, some films, add-on channels and ad-free upgrades can cost extra.
Use the Prime trial above for delivery and included Video, or compare Prime Video membership options (paid link) if you only want streaming.
Audible and Kindle Unlimited

Choose one audiobook each month, plus access to included Originals and podcasts. This is a discounted subscription, not a free trial: £0.99/month for three months, then £5.99/month.

- Set a reminder ahead of the renewal date. Prime, Music Unlimited, Audible, Kindle Unlimited, Kids+ and individual channels may be billed separately.

- Keep the cancellation confirmation and verify that no further renewal is scheduled.

Frequently asked questions
Are these Amazon offers available to everyone?
No. Eligibility can depend on your account, previous subscriptions, age, student status or the promotion’s terms. Amazon shows the offer you qualify for before you join. A link to a trial page does not guarantee a free trial.
Is discounted Prime only for students?
No. Amazon UK also offers discounted Prime to eligible 18–24-year-olds who are not students. Eligible higher-education students can qualify regardless of age. Amazon requires verification; check the current signup terms.
Does Prime include Music Unlimited, Kindle Unlimited and all video channels?
No. Prime has its own music, reading and video benefits, but Music Unlimited, Kindle Unlimited and add-on video channels are separate subscriptions. Check what is included so you do not pay twice for benefits you do not need.
Can I try more than one Amazon subscription?
You may be able to, if you meet each service’s eligibility rules. Track each subscription separately because trial end dates, prices and cancellation settings can differ.
Will I be charged when a free trial ends?
Most subscription trials renew into a paid plan unless you cancel or disable renewal in time. Check the first charge date and price at signup, then follow that service’s cancellation instructions and keep the confirmation.
Are the Baby Wishlist and Wedding List free trials?
No. They are gift-list services rather than entertainment subscription trials. Any promotional gift, discount or reward depends on the current terms and may require eligible purchases.
Is Prime Try Before You Buy still available?
No. Amazon discontinued Try Before You Buy in 2025. This guide does not present its old link as a current offer.
