As the new semester approaches, students and young adults have fresh opportunities to shave hundreds off annual bills. Several major platforms now offer targeted discounts—some temporary, others ongoing—that can cut streaming, delivery, phone and device costs for verified students and 18–24-year-olds.
Top streaming discounts worth checking today
Streaming services are among the easiest places to save, and many offers require only a quick verification to activate. These plans typically last from six months to a year before reverting to standard pricing, so note renewal terms before you sign up.
Amazon Prime (Prime for Young Adults) provides eligible 18–24-year-olds and enrolled students with a six-month trial that includes full Prime Video access. After the trial the subscription continues at roughly half the usual monthly fee unless cancelled.
Paramount+ is offering half off any plan for the first 12 months to verified students, making both ad-supported and ad-free tiers considerably cheaper for a year.
Peacock runs a Young Adult discount that cuts the premium rate by about 45% for 12 months for users aged 18–24; the subscription then renews at the regular annual rate in effect at that time.
Hulu keeps a steep student price on its ad-supported tier for as long as you remain enrolled, lowering the monthly fee to a fraction of the standard rate.
Everyday subscriptions and delivery services
Beyond entertainment, membership services that many students use daily are also available at reduced prices.
Amazon Prime (repeated here because it bundles shopping perks) rolls many benefits into its young-adult offer — free shipping, Prime Video and other perks at a reduced post-trial monthly cost.
DoorDash DashPass for Students halves the membership price, reducing delivery fees and unlocking member pricing on eligible orders.
Walmart+ extends a 50% discount to college and graduate students; the discounted membership often includes benefits such as streaming choices and travel offers in addition to delivery perks.
Phones, internet and tech discounts
Major carriers and manufacturers continue to treat students as a key audience with device deals and plan discounts that can meaningfully lower recurring expenses.
Samsung Education Offers typically provide up to 30% off select devices and can sometimes be stacked with public promotions during sales windows.
T‑Mobile lists exclusive savings for students, including reduced monthly plan rates and occasional trade‑in or device promotions that make newer phones more accessible.
Verizon offers student pricing on both Fios home internet and unlimited mobile plans; these discounts may combine with other bundle savings, depending on eligibility.

Why this matters now: with fall terms starting and budgets tightening for many households, locking in promotional pricing can free cash for essentials such as textbooks, housing or food. Many student deals are time-limited or require active verification, so acting sooner can yield the most value.
Before you sign up, confirm the eligibility requirements—some offers accept any valid student email or ID, while others use third-party verification services. Also note that most discounted plans auto-renew at the regular rate unless you cancel, so set a calendar reminder if you don’t want to be billed at full price.
Availability and terms can vary by country and change without notice. Always review the provider’s current terms and the length of the student promotion before completing sign-up.
