This year, Netflix, Costco, and Spotify have significantly increased their efforts to reduce membership sharing to drive more profits.
The next target: student discounts.
Student discounts can save people a lot of money. For example, Apple’s education deals save people $100 on the 13-inch M3 MacBook Air and 20% off on AppleCare+.
Major brands like Apple, Verizon, and Amazon offer student discounts to build lifelong customer relationships. But, for those who are out of school, it's time to pay up.
Businesses are turning to credentials-verification companies like SheerID to ensure the people using student discounts are students.
Last year, SheerID helped ~300 companies avoid $2 billion of student discount fraud.
