Here’s how it works. New subscribers will either verify their age (18-24) via driver’s license, passport or identity card, or student status with their university name and graduation year. Once approved, users will receive a free six-month trial. Then, the membership auto-renews at $7.49/month — half off the standard $14.99 monthly charge. It can be cancelled at any time.
