Hey Award Trailblazers, listen up! Amazon's got a sweet deal for young adults (ages 18-24) that could save you some serious cash. They're offering a free 6-month trial of Amazon Prime, even if you're not a student. After the trial, you'll only pay $7.49 a month, which is half the regular price. That's a steal!

But the savings don't stop there. Young Adult Prime members also get 5% cashback on select Amazon purchases in categories like beauty, apparel, electronics, personal care, and personal computers. And during Prime Day next year (July 8-11), that cashback doubles to 10%! This matters to you because it's like getting a discount on top of the already discounted Prime membership, letting you rack up those savings even faster. Plus, if you play your cards right, you might even be able to stack that 10% Prime Day cashback with the 10% you can sometimes get with an Amazon credit card!

Even better, you still get access to a ton of other Prime benefits like Grubhub+, Prime Video savings, and deals on Music and Kindle Unlimited. It's definitely worth checking out if you or someone in your family qualifies. Now, go forth and conquer those Amazon deals!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
