It looks like I was wrong to assume that it was tied to the .edu domain name -- I thought notion was using that as a way to avoid pouring resources into verifying eligibility.

My wider point is that it's disingenuous to have a bold heading [0] "Free for individual students and educators", and then in the FAQ lower on the page state:

"You're not eligible if...you're a k-12 student or k-12 educator"[0]

Oh. I thought your point was that their inclusion criteria were too narrow (.edu only) and as such did not include all universities.

I remember this wording irritating me when I was a k-12 student myself. I would get excited at "Free for students!" headings and then be disappointed when the discounts were in fact for higher education only.

It's misleading, really.
