Four ways people lose this
| What happens | |
|---|---|
| Verified on the wrong account | Cannot be reset or transferred. Ever. |
| Retried on several accounts | Triggers āVerification Limit Exceededā |
| Used a VPN | Location is checked ā you must actually be in the US/Canada. Educational VPNs are the only exception |
| Cancelled on day one | Access can end immediately, not at month 4 |
A .edu address alone doesnāt qualify you. SheerID checks the registrar, and support cannot override it.
The bit that bills you
After 4 months it auto-renews at $20/month.
Set a reminder for day ~115, cancel then. Not on day one, not on day 121.
No student status?
Thereās a way in that doesnāt need one ā and itās a longer run than this:
