    Nice. Does this stack with the 12mth offer for buying a Pixel 10 Pro?

    • Likely not.

    • Waiting for someone to give this a try

    • I think it won't work because it asks to cancel before you activate.

    • i have pixel 9 offer (similar to 10), ending in december 5th, and i tried but said i must cancel before i benefit from this offer, luckily this offer expires on 9th of december, so put a reminder.

    • Was this offer on the device itself or is there a link. I bought the pro and didn't see the 12 month free offer. Any tips would be appreciated

  • +3

    You're already subscribed
    If you're an eligible student, you'll need to cancel your current plan to get the student discount

  • +8

    The eligibility of the institution is verified through SheerID.

    Can we use our OzBargain userid?

  • When does this promotion end? I will be enrolling into uni in February 2026.

    • +3

      Offer expires on 9 December 2025. Available for verified students who are aged 18+.

  • +2

    With the level of product integration and features I think google is going to dominate the AI race in the future and the financial house of cards OpenAI is operating under will come crashing down.

  • +13

    Please DONT use the fake student ID card with Indian VPN to bypass the student email verification

    • +2

      tell me more

      • +14

        Just DONT fake a student ID card contains full name and the uni's name with canva or photoshop

    • I will try.

  • +3

    Thanks, worked for me with the existing 100GB plan, got a prorata refund automatically.

    • +1

      Same with me. Had a Google One sub that I paid for annual subscription (2TB) storage. Enrolled into student sub, automatically got refund email (pro rata) for my annual sub. Amazing!!

    • Same worked for me as well thanks op

    Tip: I put University of Bedfordshire, they dont have SSO with SheerID so no student login required, and it didn't ask for any evidence - went straight through.

    • +8

      Suddenly the enrolment of University of Bedfordshire went up

    • +1

      didnt work with me, asking for login.

    • +1

      didn't work for me

    • Didn't work for me, now I can't even attempt with a different uni

      • +1

        Same here now its asking to upload proof

    • I just did it some mins ago and it worked.

  • What happens after 12 months if you upload 1TB of data and do not proceed with subscription? Do you have to delete data or cannot access it or?

    • +1

      you will have full access to it, but won't be able to add more, or receive any emails, and you will have to delete back to your package, and in 2 years time you'll lose your data.

      • +1

        At least you'll be able to use Google Takeout

  • I posted this in the forum for help. This doesn't work if you are in Australia as stated in the Ts and Cs. Even with VPN, or creating an email in the corresponding country. Have tried incognito. If you managed to get it, let us know.

      • yes.

    Ill just leave this here for our students - Gemini telling students to commit sudoku

    https://ia.acs.org.au/article/2024/-please-die---google-s-ai…

    • +3

      They’re telling students to play the number puzzle game?

      • +2

        Not just play it. They have to commit to it.

    • Gemini telling students to commit sudoku
      You mean "seppuku"?

    If I cancel after subscribing (just so I don’t forget later), will the plan remain active until it expires and then be cancelled?

    • will remain active

  • +2

    Would it lead to any issues with my Google account if I verify using a friend's ID?

  • I'm getting a "you'll need to verify your eligibility for this offer first" page when clicking on the button to "verify eligibility" on the op's link. Am I missing something?

  • +1

    Had the 2tb annual plan subscribed via turkey apple store expiring on may 2026.
    Verified student status using the TAFE email address successfully.
    Was getting error OR-RWE-03 when subscribing with payment via PayPal.
    Cancelled the turkey apple store subscription, added a new credit card and subscribed successfully.
    Now I am not sure whatever is going to happen with the remainder of my turkey apple store plan

    • Example same scenario and fix here

  • How does SheerID work? I still have access to my uni email address which is how student verification used to work, but don't have access to my uni portal anymore.

    • As long as you can log in it should be fine. Whenever I've had to verify using SheerID it makes me log into Outlook using my uni email and thats it.

      • Damn, looks like it depends on your uni. Wants me to log into my uni portal or upload proof of enrolment.

  • +3

    Will school teachers be able to take advantage of this?

    • Did anyone find an answer to this?

      • Tried to use my DoE email but did not work sadly.

  • Can you change the email where the account is linked to after subscribing. My partner is student but I am needing it for my account?

    • +1

      Get it to your partner's Gmail account and add your email account as a family member, and both will share 2TB

  • Worked with Australian University. Entered details and SheerId asked to login to Uni student account and it worked straight away.

    What's the best way to get a student .edu email for deals like this?

  • I just signed up with my old Griffith email from years ago and it worked straight away.

  • Awesome, got a pro rata refund on a Google One plan from Turkey ☺️

    • Does it work with 2TB plan for Turkey account? Got charged around $80 yesterday due to price increase.

    Pass. Google Gemini has been the worst AI I tried, and since they have it even search results worsen.

    • +1

      It's not the best, but not certainly the worst as U claim. Give it another go, you might change Ur perceptions

      • Just checked again. Where Copilot gives unconfident recommendations based on rumours and unverified reports Gemini 2.5 Pro gives nothing and totally made up irrelevant assumptions

        Nope, pass it was, pass it is.

        Cloud storage from Google 1 I already had using an old topic from Ozb. Next day Google banned everyone. Also, there was a case when they instantly deleted account of a company because didn't create it correctly to begin with. No data survived. No, thank you, pass again.

    • I don't even use Gemini but I found the bundled 12 month plan useful with my Pixel 9 Pro because of the 2TB of cloud storage.

    • I found Gemini 2.5 Pro to be very good

  • Got it to work. Thanks for the deal

  • Is it recommended to set up a new google account for this or use your existing account.. I already have Google One and use my Google account a lot (like most)

  • I used a student email. However, it didn't ask to verify the email—just the student ID.
