Hunting for a spring internship, but am starting full time at Amazon in the summer. Should I put Amazon on my resume?

Question

Like the title mentions, I am looking for Spring internships for my final semester at college to make some extra money. I have accepted a full time role at Amazon starting in the summer and I want to know what you all think about me putting that on my resume to make it stand out a bit more?

Not exactly sure what I would put down for it because obviously I haven't done any work yet so can't really have any points for it but I am tempted to figure out some way to throw it on there just to boost my resume...? Thoughts?

Leave the future Amazon job off your resume.  Internships are generally used for recruiting potential future full-time employees, and requiring you to be still enrolled full-time in a degree is a common requirement.  i.e. if you're working a full-time internship in the spring and going directly into a full-time job in the summer, it sounds like you won't meet the full-time enrolled student requirement.  Additionally, resumes are generally for describing your current and previous accomplishments, not future possibilities.

I know its not the strictest requirement, but most internships ive seen expect you to return to a degree seeking school program post internship. not sure if putting that youll be working for amazon after the spring would help your chances in such a case.

I see people doing this on Linkedin a lot. theyll put 'incoming engineer at...'. I think it's fine to put it. I'm sure its a good signal.
