    Yeah it works the first time but we are on about using it more than once.

    Is that what you are saying is working?

    Basically you can create your own custom alias for each site.

    first.second+facebook@mycit.ie
    first.second+netflix@mycit.ie

    etc

    gmail will ignor the + and whatever is after it but still deliver it to you with that as the to address. Handy if you want to make custom rules.

    Now you may ask why is this important. It basically means you can use a single student account to sign up as many people to amazon prime 6 months trial.

    I would be very surprised if that works. Most sites would recognise it as the same email address even with the + part.

    So many colleges and universities in Ireland use gmail.

    For example cit is first.second@mycit.ie or 012334543@mycit.ie

    You could use both of these to sign up to Amazon prime free for 6 months deal and 1/2 price for 4 years.

    Also gmail or any of these college mail systems has a cool trick that I use.

    Basically you can create your own custom alias for each site.

    first.second+facebook@mycit.ie
    first.second+netflix@mycit.ie

    etc

    gmail will ignor the + and whatever is after it but still deliver it to you with that as the to address. Handy if you want to make custom rules.

    Now you may ask why is this important. It basically means you can use a single student account to sign up as many people to amazon prime 6 months trial.

    So someone here could say anyone want a code and give them their student email address

    first.second+1@mycit.ie
    first.second+2@mycit.ie
    ....

    So all non students can avail of the offer. I am not going to do this as I am too lazy and have a job but you could probably make a bit of money off it if you wanted to.

    If anybody with a mycit.ie email wants to try this out, i'd like to sign up, just to see if it works (cough cough)

    As I no longer have access to my @ucdconnect.ie account I used another gmail email address and went the route of sending a photo of my (expired) student account. Literally approved in under 5 minutes.

    if they're a current student they could send a scan of the student id. my @ucdconnect.ie was rejected but my wifes @tcd.ie was accepted automatically.

    Really enjoying prime video except for foreign parts of an English language show.
    There are no forced subtitles, only an option for full subtitles, anyone know how to solve this issue.

    I've had this issue since day 1. It seems to depend on device, sometimes they'll work on PlayStation but not on phone. Or they'll work on laptop. And most annoyingly, sometimes they work on phone but not when you cast. Very irritating when I watched Jack Ryan recently..

    Thank you very much, MoMo!

    Signed up with my ITT student card and a normal email (emailed them a scan of the card and explained that ITT did not use to give students an edu address).

    Signed up there pretty easy with an old uni email address. Didnt have a .edu in it but they accepted it anyway. Great deal to be free on Prime for 6 months and then half price till 2024. Thanks again OP.

    Very weirdly, I've found that if I turn on full English subtitles and then turn them off, it usually starts working properly. No idea why ???

    You don't need to actually sign up to anything to get a uk totem card. Just select avado home learning they don't check.

    I have found the site to register for a uk totem card.

    Would appreciate if you could clarify and also do you recommend using existing amazon account or creating a new one

    Thank you

    You can use existing account, I can't answer your other query as I don't remember what I filled up, I did upload a copy of student acceptance to a course.

    I just used my existing account. Doubt they're too bothered and even if they clamp down I'd say they'll just cancel the student membership stuff on you. They still want your money.

    Thanks OP! Will be useful. Gonna still try and buy from Irish companies as much as possible though

    For me i selected Other as an option twice which got me to the Where Do you study page. This gave me the option to Select Avado Home Learning but when i clicked Verify my Student Status i hit a brick wall saying there is no way to verify using this method of study.
