Is anyone actually using their .edu email for more than just Unidays?

I’ve been digging through student forums lately and realized how much we’re leaving on the table. Most people know about the 50% off Spotify or Amazon, but I found a few obscure ways to actually flip the .edu status into cash/credit that isn't just "saving money."

I’ve been testing a few sites that pay a premium for student-verified accounts or offer specific grants/stipends just for having the email. It’s been a solid way to cover my groceries this month.

Has anyone else found any "hidden" perks that actually pay out? I'm trying to compile a list of the ones that aren't scams. (Happy to share what I've found so far if anyone is looking).
