my student id doesn't have any expiration date on it 
So is Prime family sharing.

Makes sense. I am sure people were exploiting this and costed them money. I honestly don't blame them for doing this.

79.99 is a great deal anyway. My wife and I are still getting a dicount on our phone bill through AT&T though. Instead of setting her up as a student, they set her up as an emplyee of the school.
I can't leave AT&T because of it

You can still share the benefits as long as it was set up before switching to the student plan
It has changed over time. Originally it was a full year free and full benefits (but there were not many if any Prime benefits besides shipping at the time).

All good things must come to an end. For anyone that orders from here often, it's definitely worth the price of admission.

For shame, wanting to get paid for providing a service to customers. A damn good one at that. Prime is awesome.
Yep.

lotta cheap "students" gonna be cancelling lol
Well I don't think they have to have the same address. Technically they're supposed to be family though.
On the contrary, technically they're supposed to have the same address but it doesn't matter if they're family.
Not enforced at all though, and it would be difficult since they let you ship wherever you want
Lol whoops sorry for the misinformation. I guess I had it backwards. Doesn't have to be family, but has to have the same address.
mine doesn't either

My college still hassles me to donate to their alumni society.
So they clearly still consider me part of their system :/

My Amazon prime student was renewed for the same price and I didn't have to show proof

This is why I am glad that I never grew up feeling spoiled. Having good things ripped away from me don't sting so badly.
The amount of people raging because they can't abuse the system any more is pretty amazing.

Im so addicted to 2 day free shipping that i just dont shop anywhere else but i get all my product reviews from
Amazon

I canceled and signed back up again at $39 without providing any proof the other day. It wiped out my shared prime list though
(normally when you go from regular prime to student you can keep the list)
The list was probably gone when you canceled not when you signed up. Because canceling took you to no prime, which wipes the list.

I LOVE my Student Prime. I get that sweet fast shipping and the streaming, which was very convenient when we decided t cut cable. I will continue to get the service even after my student bid runs out. Totally worth it.
Right, that's what I mean. I had to cancel because my renewal was up and they were going to charge me $80. Once it expired they immediately offered it for $40 again. I kind of figured doing this would wipe out the list, but it is annoying. Not really my problem though
Yeah, I've posted about this a lot in the past, but the add-on policy BS is ruining prime for me
and it ruins 1-click shopping too
