In addition to being just an online retailer, Amazon also develops and markets its own brand of products - like the Amazon Kindle readers, Alexa - and is also a well-known provider of cloud computing solutions. Amazon's headquarters are based in Seattle, Washington with separate retail websites for the UK, Ireland, Spain, Australia, India, Mexico, Japan, Brazil, Germany, China, Canada, France, the Netherlands and Italy - with more international sites expected to launch in the future.
Amazon Student - It costs a lot to be a student these days, but the Amazon Student program makes it easy to save on essential student gear - and more. Like Amazon Mom, registration to Amazon Student is free and provides access to exclusive offers, coupons and discounts for student essentials. Amazon Student members also receive access to special giveaways, sweepstakes and contests, plus they receive a $10 credit for referring friends to the program, via social media and email...a new customer is Amazon's best friend! Amazon Student members also receive a free six month trial of Amazon Prime and most its perks (minus access to the Amazon media library). What makes the Amazon Prime Student deal even better - is that, after the six month trial period has ended, students can extend their Amazon Prime membership at a 50% discount To qualify for an Amazon Student membership, a valid .edu email address and/or proof of current school/college enrollment status is required. (A note for parents and relatives: Amazon gift cards make great graduation gifts.)
