Amazon regularly offers promotions for its Prime membership and digital products. These deals vary by customer group and timing. The most common include free trials, discounted memberships, and gift card incentives.
Prime Membership Offers
A 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime is available annually. This trial includes next-day delivery, streaming access, and other Prime benefits. The annual price is typically £95, but the trial allows users to test the service without cost.
Some users may receive a 99p week of Amazon Prime after a prior membership. This offer is not guaranteed and applies only to those who previously had Prime.
Customers with an O2 SIM can get a £2 monthly discount on Prime. This requires adding Prime to an O2 bill. The discount is applied each month and is available to active O2 users.
Students and those aged 18–22 can join Amazon Student. This provides six months of free Prime, followed by £47.49 per year. Proof of student status is required. The offer lasts as long as the student is enrolled or up to four years.
Prime Video and Digital Content
Selected customers receive a £5 credit for Prime Video. This credit is valid for 30 days after activation and does not require a Prime membership. Users can access it for rentals or purchases.
Amazon’s Snoop app offers a £5 voucher to users who sign up and connect a bank or credit card. The voucher is delivered after the user stays connected for a full month. The offer is only available through the app’s official link.
Gift Card and Account Promotions
When purchasing a gift card, users may receive £6 extra credit. This offer is typically available once every few years. It is only valid if the offer is displayed at checkout.
Users can also earn £5 extra by topping up their Amazon account with £60. This bonus applies only to accounts that haven’t topped up in the past 36 months. The offer changes frequently and may not be active at all times.
Prime Member Benefits
Prime members receive a free Kindle book each month through First Reads. This selection includes six titles across various genres. The books are available for free to all Prime members.
Major Sales Events
Amazon hosts two major sales events annually. Prime Day occurs on 23–26 June 2026. This event includes deep discounts on devices, electronics, and Amazon products.
Prime Big Deals Day is scheduled for 6–7 October 2026. It features similar discounts to Prime Day, with early offers on devices like Fire TVs and Ring doorbells. Prices may drop during the sale, allowing refunds for price differences.
Amazon Black Friday 2025 will feature special deals. These are typically announced in advance and include product discounts and bundle offers. Users should check the official Amazon site for real-time updates.
Eligibility and Limitations
Many offers are based on eligibility. Users must verify their status—such as student status or account activity—to qualify. Some promotions are only available once every few years.
Offers may end or be paused. Users should check the Amazon site or app for current availability. The source notes that some deals are auto-generated and may not reflect endorsement.
Not all users will qualify for every offer. For instance, the £10 off £40 code does not apply to alcohol. This restriction is stated in user comments and official terms.
Amazon does not guarantee that free trials or discounts will be available annually. While the 30-day trial is offered every year, its availability is not universally confirmed.
These deals are designed to encourage spending and account engagement. They are not intended as financial advice or savings tools.

Users are encouraged to check their personalized offers in the Amazon app. These may include trials or discounts not listed in general announcements.
