Students who are Quebec residents benefit from a reduced pricing, with a half-price subscription at 4.99 CAD/month for 7 months instead of a trial.

Amazon is a partner of two financial institutions: American Express and TD. You can redeem American Express Membership Rewards points (1,000 Membership Rewards points = $7) or TD Rewards points (1,000 points = $3.33) on Amazon.ca.
Link your American Express or TD Rewards card to your Amazon.ca Shop with Points program. At checkout, select your American Express or TD credit card as your payment method and choose the number of points to apply to your order.
However, it’s worth noting that it’s more advantageous to use your points on your Amazon purchase once it’s been charged to your American Express credit card. In fact, as with any purchase, you can use your points as a Statement credit at the rate of 1,000 Membership Rewards points = $10. Like my purchase at IGA:
