@bestwallethacks: If you need a .edu email address, there are two ways you can get one for relatively little cost. An .edu email address can get you access to student discounts but do you really want to become a student? First, if you graduated from a university, see if you can get an alumni email address and if that address can get you the discounts or access you want. Some places will accept an alumni email address, others will require you to be an actual student as verified through SheerID. If that doesn't work, apply to become a student at the University of the People. It's a tuition free university with a $60 non-refundable application fee. You can remain a student for up to 5 terms (1 year) without taking any classes. If you can find more than $60 in annual discounts, this can be a solid option.
