Amazon is offering young adults the ultimate back to school deal. Just days before the official start to Prime Day, Amazon has rolled out a new Prime membership. Best of all, it's 50% off.

Right now, 18 to 24 year olds can join Prime for Young Adults and get 6 months free. After your trial is over, you'll pay $7.49/month or just $69/year. That's 50% cheaper than a traditional Prime membership, yet it offers all of the same perks.
