Our Verdict
The 6-month Prime Student offer is pretty sweet to begin with, and this added $45 value will be useful to some as well. Thanks to anyone who uses our signup links.
I saw the email but you don’t need it if you add the echo and go to checkout there was a 45.00 promotion on the account.
over 48 hours, no email.
Just got the 4.99 echo conformation email
Signed up around the time this opened. Still no email.
Has anybody gotten the Echo dot email after registering?
I still haven’t yet, and it’s been over 24 hours for me.
can i switch it a standard gmail address after I sing up as not to confuse addresses
yeah exactly. You cant share prime student. My daughter is in JunCo and I could register with her email but I’d need to switch it back to mine.
I believe $3-5 student email address on eBay are going to get sold out 😀
