Temporary vs. Reserved .edu Email: Why Securing Your Access for 1 Year is Safer
You read our previous posts, saw the amazing benefits (Spotify, GitHub, Amazon, Canva) and decided to create your .edu email. Great choice!
But now comes a crucial question: should I use the Free (Temporary) mode or pay the one-time fee to Reserve?
The free mode is great for quick tests, but for long-term benefits, it has risks. Let's explain why.
The Risk of Annual Verification
Services like Spotify and GitHub re-verify your student status every 12 months.
If you used a disposable email that expired last week, when renewal time comes, you will lose the benefit. The confirmation email will be sent to an inbox that no longer exists.
Result: Your Spotify account gets ads back and your GitHub Copilot stops working.
Password Recovery
Forgot the password to the Notion where all your notes are? They'll send the reset link to your .edu email.
If the email was temporary and has already been deleted, your account (and your data) is lost forever.
The Solution: Reserved Email
That's why we created the Reservation option.
For a small one-time fee (less than two months of Spotify), you guarantee:
Exclusive ownership of that email address for a full year.
Guaranteed renewal of your discounts when the term expires.
Security to recover passwords at any time.
Forwarding of important messages.
It's an investment, not an expense
Think about it: you pay once and save over $500 in software and subscriptions over the year. The return on this investment is huge.
Don't risk losing your benefits because of an expired email.
Guarantee your peace of mind. Reserve your .edu Email now for 1 year and protect your discounts!
