These are:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Monthly. This costs <strong>$12.99 per month<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Annually. This costs <strong>$119 per year<\/strong> which rounds out to about<strong> $9.92 per month<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As is clear, paying for your Amazon Prime account annually is cheaper but some people still prefer monthly billing because they don\u2019t want to get locked into a yearly subscription.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What happens if you are a student?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a student, there are several options for you when it comes to Amazon Prime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For starters, you can <a href=\"http:\/\/affiliate.link\">get a free 6-month trial for Amazon Prime<\/a> if you\u2019re a student.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Amazon Prime student membership costs about half of what a regular Prime account membership costs at<strong> $6.49 per month<\/strong> or <strong>$59 per year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you opt for an Amazon Prime student membership, you are asked about your graduation year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After your graduation year, your Prime Student membership is changed into a regular one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose to either end or even pause your Prime membership at any time. This would mean that you would stop receiving Prime benefits (for example, same-day delivery on your order) but also, you would not be billed until you resume your membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, if you cancel your Amazon Prime membership without using any of its benefits, you are entitled to a full refund. If you\u2019ve used only a few of the benefits for a short time, then you may be entitled to a partial refund.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Things_Up%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>Wrapping Things Up\u2026&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It can definitely be confusing for the purchaser to see that Amazon doesn\u2019t immediately charge them for their order when they place it during checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this approach is deliberate so that you\u2019re only charged once it\u2019s guaranteed that the item has been shipped out to you and you will receive it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It works the same way for most types of orders on Amazon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever had a weird experience where Amazon has charged you before your item was shipped?
