Amazon is expanding discounted benefits to more than just students. Now, any "young adult" from 18 years of age up to 24 can get all of the perks of Prime for 50% off. The expansion of the discounted program comes a month before Amazon's biggest sale of the year, Prime Day, which is set to run from July 8 to July 11.

If you're lucky enough to be in the ages that Amazon considers a young adult, your Prime Membership will cost your choice of $7.49 per month or $69 per year. And yes, this will include all of the perks that come with a regular subscription. That's a great value for all of the perks you get. If you don't believe me, here's the math.

To get the 50% off subscription, you will first need to finish a six-month free trial (bummer, I know). Afterwards, your membership will automatically renew for $7.49 per month. Keep in mind that you can cancel your membership at any time. But before you do, remember that Prime Day starts next month, and being a member will get you better deals, free shipping, and access to "invite-only" deals. This membership also gets you some other limited-time perks, like 5% cash back on categories like beauty, apparel, electronics, and personal care (it doubles to 10% on Prime Day).

Once you turn 25, you will no longer be eligible for this discounted membership, unless you're still a student (Amazon will consider you a student for a max of four years if you pass its student verification process).
