Free Trial of Amazon Prime
· CommentsThis is a deal for anyone that is up for following a few steps…
If you have never tried Amazon Prime you can get a 3 month Trial of their program.
To do that follow these steps:
- Go Here
- Put any participating Textbook in your cart
- Proceed to Checkout (don’t worry we aren’t buying it)
- During Checkout select Prime as the shipping option.
- Fill out the registration for the Trial.
- Close the window - don’t buy the book! (unless you need textbooks)
- Go back to Amazon to your Account and “Manage Prime Settings”
- Turn off “Auto Upgrade”
You now have 3 months of free shipping for most things on Amazon!

















This is such a great deal! I have one question. When you say turn off “Auto Upgrade” do you mean click where it says “Do Not Upgrade”? I just wanted to make sure since the wording isn’t the same as what you used. Thanks!
Yes that is the same, sorry for the confusion.
Thanks! I just wanted to be sure in cased I messed it up. :-)
HOw do you find “participating” textbooks?
Figured it out - don’t forget to take the book out of your cart when you’re done!! :)
This worked beautifully for me ! I love the auto upgrade disabler. Never seen anything like that before. You don’t have to remember to cancel ! Thanks much for the tip !
Jenny, I just wanted to let you know that this morning I ordered a cd from Amazon. Paid w/gift cards I earned using Swagbucks and paid nothing for shipping because of this deal. How great is that!? I would never have imagined when I started using coupons a few months ago that I would actually be able to get something like a cd completely free. LOVE your site!
This worked perfectly. Thanks! Christmas shopping here I come!
Having some trouble with the textbooks adding to the cart today (July 23) but I think it’s on Amazon’s side. I’d like to get free shipping on the little things I order from Amazon all the time, especially the good sale on Dr. Suess books for my son!
This is great for getting diapers shipped to your door for free, too - or sending gifts directly!
I already signed up for it but don’t remember if I did the auto do not upgrade? How can I make sure I don’t get charged $79?!?! AH!
Is this deal over? I am trying but do not see the prime option for shipping? Maybe I am too late.
