You are now connected to Deepak from Amazon.com

Me:I signed up for a Student Account with the understanding that it was free for six months. However, on my Prime membership page, it says I will be charged $3.99 next month to continue this service.

Deepak:Hi, Dodongo.
This is Deepak from Amazon.com.

Me:Hello.

Deepak:Are you trying to place order via One Day Shipping, Dodongo?

Me:No. I just signed up for a Student Membership account. When signing up, it said it was free for six months, but on my Prime Membership management page, it says it will charge my card $3.99 next month.
I just signed up today.
Does the six months just refer to the free two-day shipping? If so and I cancel my Prime membership, will I still get the free shipping through my Student account?

Deepak:Thanks for the details.
I checked and see that you've activated One Month Free Trial Prime Plan for Amazon Student Program under your account instead of Free 6 months Plan.
Get Amazon Prime free for 30 days, then pay only $3.99/month
You'll receive FREE Two-Day Shipping and access to thousands of movies and TV shows.

Me:So you're saying that, when signing up for a student account, there are two different options? One for one month, and one for six months?

Deepak:Yes, Dodongo.
But that is only for a few selected customer who receive both the choices. You can select any one of them.

Me:What do you mean "only for a few selected customer"? Only certain people can get the six month option?
D
eepak:No, Dodongo.
Only a selected members will get both the One Month and six month option to select.
Those option as like offers for few customers.

Me:How did I end up with the one-month trial instead of the six-month trial? There was no option to choose, and the page I went to to sign up clearly said six months.

Deepak:Please check this link below:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/student/signup/info?bd=ft
You can see 2 options:
* $3.99/month
* $39/year (save over 20% by switching to an annual membership)

Me:I see that says free for 30 days. But this is the link that I went to: http://www.amazon.com/gp/student/signup/info
There it says "FREE for 6 months"

so why does the ?bd=ft link exist?
shouldnt both choices be under the /info link?

theyre must be some incentive for them to inconvenice one like that and have them go into the chat.

So they can troll people with customer support of course.

@296,435 (C)
I assume to mislead people into signing up for the wrong option, and hoping they don't notice until they start getting charged.

Everywhere Dodongo goes he's a victim of trolling.
