Answer:
If you've already received a message from SheerID confirming your student status, but you're having difficulties activating the discount, we first recommend trying to open the link from that message in an incognito or private window , preferably on a desktop device.
In case that doesn't do the trick and you’re still getting an error message, check out the info below for what to do next.
