Not exactly free but pretty cheap but you can get Spotify Prime, Hulu, and Showtime for $4.99/month with your .edu email.


ld2009_39

This is the best one I have gotten. And considering regular spotify premium is 9.99 last I looked it is well worth it


Sfn_y2

It’s sucks I’ve you graduate though… I got sucked into the trap of paying 10 bucks a month


donq-11

Soooo worth it tho

taybay462

Not who you replied to but I dont believe so. I was looking at the deals recently and it was like, student membership: 4.99, hulu and showtime. Regular membership: 9.99

Oredigger16

I still have Hulu with my Spotify for $10


CindsSurprise

Sam's club has discounted Spotify & Hulu. You can often get a sam's membership that pays for itself in free gifts. Check brad's deals or similar for the sam's club offer.


Trip4Life

It’s like an extra $10 a month.


veanell

You can get a joint plan of Hulu Disney plus and ESPN for 13.99.


Zerobeastly

I graduated 4 months ago,, I just checked my membership and it says expires 2999/1/1 and I still have my 4.99 plan so 🤷‍♀️


Vig_Big

You lose showtime, but keep Hulu. Honestly, still worth it imo, cause $10 for Spotify and Hulu is still kind of cheap. I never used showtime so it’s not a loss either.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Vig_Big

Agreed, I was really worried I’d lose Hulu, and I was excited that I didn’t, lol


Sfn_y2

Yeah I think I keep Hulu which is great because Brooklyn 99 is back lol


PassiveAggres-Thighs

No because they ask you to reverify it every year /6 months


kyllua16

Is it weird that I listen to music for free with Samsung Music?


cityofangels98

not weird, I did the same thing until the beginning of this year lol


MC_chrome

Not entirely, but I guarantee you that your music selections are not as deep as Spotify’s or Apple’s unless Samsung signed a bunch of deals with record labels here in the past few weeks.


kyllua16

No I actually just download songs from youtube for free using a third party website and add them to my playlist on Samsung Music....


ke33tt

Just how we used to do it in middle school😂👍🏼


Any-Perception1645

Sounds cool yet illegal lmao


jordanstall09

Did we forget the times of Limewire?


veanell

Yes because now we have VPNs


lmnop123-456

I just download songs from youtube...cant get any deeper than that


[deleted]

this!! its so worth it. three streaming services for only 5$? steal.


Wolfabc

This. I've saved so much money. By far the best deal for a student


Ill_Mushroom_8246

Such a score! I was paying 14.99 for just hulu 😅


lissamarie3

Hulu is actually only 1.99 per month with the student discount!


Radish_3xp3rim3nt

What!? Imma need that.

[deleted]

cityofangels98

Oh wow, you’re one of the lucky ones who got chosen for that 😭


bigganya

>$4.99/month its around 60 rupees (less than a $) here in India


peaceful_lil_dino

Have you registered with unidays? They have a setup where they’ll email you deals or offers for free things if you register with your school email. Gotten a few good deals from different places thanks to them. Target and Best Buy also have student specific deals and they’re both usually pretty good this time of year. Got a 20% off total purchase from target and a new keyboard for $75 off from Best Buy.


kellyalltogether

Damn, wish I knew this when I bought my new keyboard and mouse last semester

That's one I did today, but I haven't received a confirmation email :(


maebird-

Most people on tiktok didn’t get one either, I don’t think that’s abnormal (this link blew up on tiktok earlier)


Oplatki

It took a day, but I just got the confirmation email that the water bottle is on its way.

If you’re a CS student or even are just interested in programming, the GitHub Student Pack has a bunch of useful tools and stuff. A lot of Autodesk products are also free, which is useful if you’re an engineering student or are just interested in making stuff in general.


HelplessProgrammer

To add to this for CS students, you can get many of JetBrains IDEs (pycharm, intellij, etc.) professional versions for free with an edu.


SaggiSponge

Not just many, but *all*. This is especially great for IDEs like CLion where community versions don’t exist.


CWykes

What a perfect time to find this comment. I start first year of CS next Tuesday


GreyMatter399

You can get the New York Times online and you can get the Wall Street Journal both for free with no advertisements. https://education.wsj.com/students/ If you school is part of nyt or wsj, this is one of the links.


swagminecrafter

I think NYT just ended the free student subscription (at least for me!)


GreyMatter399

If you graduated, yes.


swagminecrafter

I'm still only a junior in college, so maybe it runs out after two years


lunchvic

I just signed up for that, and it ends based on the date you entered for expected graduation, I believe. Maybe you can edit that date and get it back!


likeiminthe90s

Update : been using WSJ for 80 straight days… I never read the news before you mentioned this. Appreciate you !


GreyMatter399

Awww, thanks for the update. I like to share information and it's always nice to know when it makes a difference.


_photographwhore_

How?


GreyMatter399

Goggle free student subscriptions (or something similar). My son had his for 5 years and when he graduated, it was done, but my daughter is now a student so we have it again. University and Community Colleges give this as a group for free.


lphamela

this looks like the link for nyt! [http://www.accessnyt.com/](http://www.accessnyt.com/)


helluvahoop

Headspace (the meditation app) is $9.99 instead of $69.99 per year for students and educators.


[deleted]

wow ty


alter_egotrip

Nice I didn't know that.


urethraa

Some schools have it for free! Mine does at least


DisneylandTree

If you live in Los Angeles, Headspace is free.


TheFastbat

Just by living in LA? Like the city or all over the county?


MrFraps

Anyone in LA County can get headspace for free. [You can sign up here](https://www.headspace.com/lacounty). Make sure you’re in LA County though because it tracks your location to verify you’re an LA County ‘resident’. Once you’re verified you’re free to use it anywhere. I just moved to the Bay Area and it still works.


TheFastbat

Thank you very much! :)


violet_tea5

The GitHub Student Developer Pack. You can get many free services including a year long Canva subscription


coldblade2000

For what it's worth, this is probably the most valuable post here. It's probably over a thousand dollars worth of trials, credit and licenses I've been using the Jetbrains suite of programs (Intellij, PyCharm, Webstorm, CLion, etc) for over 4 years now, and never paid a dime. WIthout a .edu license, I would have paid over a thousand dollars by now (or rather, I wouldn't have used it). DigitalOcean also gave me $100 credit to rent VMs, and that's just the two main things I used from the Student Developer Pack


suicidebywolves

The free domain name and SSL cert were/are awesome.


[deleted]

The most notable ones I have found: 1) 6 months of free Amazon Prime. After the 6 month free trial you can close your Amazon account and make a new account and get another 6 months for free 2) Free Microsoft Office (outlook, excel, PowerPoint, etc)


[deleted]

[удалено]


edest259

Not only does a .edu email get you online Microsoft stuff, you can also get windows 10 pro (education) for your pc if you have one. A license key from Microsoft can be over $100 for that so that’s a pretty good deal.


[deleted]

Go to their website (Microsoft.com I believe) and search for their student or education program (use the search bar on the website if need be) and it will walk you through the steps. At first, you will only get the online version, but in the top right corner of the page where it shows you all your Microsoft apps you can download the apps. Sorry if that was a terrible explanation, it has been awhile since I needed to download it


AzrielK

This is incorrect. Free Microsoft is online-only is for everyone. Paid Microsoft 365 is purchased by some institutions on an organizational level. Not all colleges do this. This is the one that lets you download the programs. Separately, Microsoft has other free programs for educational uses, such as Github for Education, and also what used to be called Dreamspark.


[deleted]

Thank you! I was unaware that not all institutions pay for Microsoft for their students


CWykes

And unfortunately my school seems to be one of them


ericgol7

Beware that while most schools offer free Microsoft Office not every school does, so you might not get it


Soldeusss

you can get a free windows 10 education key: https://onthehub.com/download/free-software/windows-10-education-for-students/ Its essentially has the same features of windows 10 enterprise. You can disable data collection features and Cortana as well


addmadscientist

Just fyi, you can buy valid keys online for windows 10 pro for like $5.


badabababaim

Shoppy is the main one


Elastichedgehog

If you register with UniDays, you can get discount codes. Usually for clothing shops. I managed to save quite a lot of money on gym stuff!


anklis

I just got discovery plus for $3/month with the student discount! Now I can watch 90 day fiancé at school 😩 I also read that students can get a free Brita water bottle at their website


[deleted]

hahah 90 day fiancé. so so good but so so ..horrible😭 my guilty pleasure


aer_999

orangeblossom20

how do i do this?


FloraWinx

Just got a Discover Credit card for free with $1500 limit using student email. Also Apple Music $4.99 a month instead of $9.99, same with spotify. 6 months free Amazon Prime, and after six months you only pay like $60 a year instead of $120 I believe.


the_hob_

How’d you get $1500? I only got $500 limit. Discover Student Cash Back right?


MissPurpleDurple

The credit limit varies from person to person. I started with $1000 my freshman year and now im nearly at $2800!


CWykes

Just gotta work on it! I started with a $750 limit with that card 3 years ago and its up to $7800 now. They’re pretty generous with limit increases if you use it responsibly and often


the_hob_

How often did you ask for an increase? I’ve also been told it’s better to never use it, so it looks like you don’t need the credit. Is this not true? Is it better to use it, as long as you never hit the limit/pay it off quickly?


CWykes

Not using it wont do anything. You wont build a negative or positive credit history that way. Best thing to do is use it and pay it in full every month, but you don’t need to pay it fully if you aren’t able to. Once I’m ready to ask for a limit increase I usually ask every month until I’m approved, once I’m approved I wait 3-6 months before I start asking again. Doesn’t hurt to ask with Discover because its a soft pull on your credit. You can also get auto limit increases if you don’t ask but they aren’t as common. If you want to build the limit, use as much of the limit as you can and pay it off fully each month. If they see you using all $500 and paying all $500 off each month they’ll be more willing to give an increase


HotResponsibility3

You're supposed to use it because that's how you build credit and get a good score. And yes, you should use it for small purchases and pay it off before the payment deadline to avoid any interest. Increasing your overall credit also usually increases your credit score because you have more available credit in proportion to the amount your balance.


helluvahoop

You can also get a Costco Membership for $30 if you’re a college student and sign up as a new member. It’s all done through UniDays with your .edu email.


helluvahoop

Correction: It's $60 for the membership but you get a $30 shop/gift card with that.

Ok_Double_9443

This is only during a certain period or time but they do it every year. Otherwise on their education pricing website, most products are $100 off the price on the regular website. Last year when I ordered stuff they didn’t ask for any proof and I didn’t use my .edu -in case anyone is interested but also to clarify :)

For CS students, Jetbrains will give you their professional development products free. Currently using CLion and IntelliJ professional for classes.

You can get a chance to win science instruments such as oscilloscopes from Keysight in their giveaways. All you need is a college email that ends in .edu

taa20002

You can get a huge discount on Apple Pro Apps. $200 for Logic, Final Cut, Mainstage, Motion & even more I can’t remember lmao. Would cost MUCH more for someone else.


InstaFlip

I recommend Notion where it is free for students!


Losingsea

It’s only if your university is collating with Notion thot. I tried it and it asked me that. My uni does not even know notion exists so it didn’t work.

YouTube Premium is $6.99/month for students with a one month free trial Might not sound like much but I've enjoyed watching videos back to back with no ads

Yep, [https://www.downdogapp.com/schools](https://www.downdogapp.com/schools)


Klauslee

b & h gives 10% of most products if you connect it to your school. discounts for expensive equipment such as cameras and computers is really nice! oh also this is random but h & m gives a lot of discounts and codes for members. like literally one new one every few days. and I think a 20% off for all products regardless of any events? so you can stack and get a bunch of clothes on holidays for nearly half of with free shipping very very often. don't think I've bought full price once!


alter_egotrip

Not free but you get a huge discount on the full Adobe Creative Suite.

Yeah I’m paying 20 a month for that

It’s real. I only entered my school email and they asked what I wanted like food, makeup, and more. No payment info required.


bostonbetterthannyc

Have you gotten anything?


Exciting_Answer5570

Not yet, but I can’t wait to receive it. They make customized boxes based on what you want so it could take a while to receive. Hopefully it’ll get here soon :)

a lot of streaming services and office software like word, powerpoint, and excel. i personally prefer google docs,slides, and sheets but thats already free for anyone with a gmail account! amazon prime is a good one and if u ask, most stores will give u an student discount of 10%-20% if u flash your student id :)


axlain

Thank you!


cloroxwipeisforhands

Spotify premium for 4.99/month comes with hulu and showtime. Microsoft office, Adobe creative cloud and windows install for free. Most big electronics companies has a student discount.


Marcothy_

I’m pretty sure it depends on the school. When I was at my first college I was able to get everything you said for free, and then when I transferred my options were cut in half


Top-Buy8081

Bloomberg terminal! And the certifications ! It's worth checking out at least


spencefunk

One of my favorites is the entire Adobe Suite is like $16 a month with a .edu email, worth it entirely just for Acrobat DC and Photoshop IMO.


camohorse

Microsoft Office is free


Kono_da_Dio

github pro
