This Spotify bundle is available as long as you are enrolled at a US Title IV-accredited college or university (and are above the age of 18). The offer is valid for 48 months and must be reverified once every 12 months.

To qualify for a Prime for Young Adults membership, you must be 18-24 years old or be currently enrolled in a higher education institution.

To be eligible, you must be a student studying an associate degree, bachelor's degree, postgraduate degree, or equivalent higher education course at a college or university.

The specific guidelines for who qualifies are fully detailed on their website, but the gist is that it includes most faculty, staff, students, and parents.

The educational discounts vary across each product, but savings of up to $100 off newly released products, like the MacBook Neo, are included.
