To snag the perks of Amazon Prime without breaking the bank, start by heading to Amazon's website and scrolling down to the "Choose your plan" section. Don't feel obligated to sign up for a free 30-day trial right off the bat – take a minute to peruse your options.
The basic plan will cost you $14.99 a month or $139 per year, which translates to about $12 a month. Alternatively, consider Prime for Young Adults if you're between 18 and 24 years old (with proof of student status) or on government assistance programs like SNAP and Medicaid – the monthly rate drops to $7.49, with a free six-month trial.
Now that you've picked your plan, it's time to create an Amazon account. Click "Start your free 30-day trial" and follow the prompts to set up your account using your name, email, and password. Don't forget to enable two-factor authentication for added security.
Next, Amazon will send a one-time password (OTP) to your verified email address; paste it into the specified field on the website, click "Verify," and then enter your credit or debit card information – you're done!
A word of caution: while it's technically possible to sign up for Prime, take advantage of the free trial, and cancel later, be aware that this trick can only be pulled once. You'll need to start a new 30-day trial period each year during Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

. Like, who needs a free six-month trial just for being young or low-income? It's not like I'm trying to take advantage of the system here 
. And don't even get me started on the OTP thing - it feels like they're trying to make us all feel like we're in some spy movie 
. Can't a person just sign up for Prime without having to verify their email and credit card info? I swear, getting the best deals is more work than I'm willing to put into it 
.
I think its super smart to snag an Amazon Prime deal for under $15 a month! Idk about the one-time password thing tho, feels like theres gotta be a way to make it more straightforward... but hey its all good if you can get that sweet prime life without breaking the bank 
it's just too much hassle, and you're still gonna end up paying the full price in the long run. Plus, you gotta remember that your account will be flagged if they catch you, and then you'll never get a good deal again 
i get it, but think about all the perks - fast shipping, music streaming, and more! 
if ur between 18-24 or on gov assistance, tho, u can get a cheaper plan 
just make sure to verify ur email and set up two-factor auth, dont wanna be hacked 
also, dont try that whole sign-up-for-trial-cancel-later trick - amazon's onto u 
also i saw that if u r eligible, u can get a free 6 month trial lol who wouldn't wanna sign up for that? 
and they're making like $20billion annually 
I mean who doesn't love free two-day shipping and all the sick deals on Amazon? I got the basic plan for $14.99 a month (which is kinda pricey but like, totally worth it) and I just signed up for the 30-day trial already! 
The thing is tho, don't even think about trying to cancel later, 'cause Amazon's all "you gotta start fresh each year" so yeah, that's a bummer... still gonna get my Prime though 
plus I love how they have deals on groceries and stuff. the whole thing is super easy to set up too, even if you're not techy like me 
. The fact that we're willing to shell out cash just to avoid the hassle of manual planning and security checks raises questions about our relationship with technology. Are we really trading freedom for ease, or is it more like a Faustian bargain where we sacrifice some autonomy in exchange for the promise of a seamless experience? 
. can we just get a decent monthly deal without all the extra stuff? and btw, i tried this trick last year on black friday and had to restart my trial mid-month because i forgot to cancel 
So yeah, u just gotta sign up for the basic plan or prime for young adults (if ur between 18-24 lol) and then cancel ur trial after like 30 days or so... 
and guess what? U get to do it all again next year on black friday/cyber monday!!! 
I'm literally already planning my shopping spree for that day!! 
always watching out for you! Just pay the monthly fee or take advantage of the discounted rate if you qualify, it's not that hard!
