Student discounts without a .edu email
You don't need a .edu email for many big student discounts. Verification services like SheerID and ID.me let you sign in through your school portal or upload proof of enrollment, such as a class schedule, enrollment letter or student ID. Some deals check your student ID in person instead, and student bank accounts and credit cards skip the school-email step entirely.
Verify by uploading proof of enrollment
These run through SheerID or a similar check: if your school email doesn't work, you can upload a document instead.
