Cannot apply student discount on Cursor despite SheerID verification

Bug Reports
1

Describe the Bug

After completing the student verification process through SheerID and receiving the confirmation email, after clicking the “Apply Discount” button on the email. it proceeds to my Cursor profile which spins endlessly and does not apply the student discount. The process never completes and I am unable to activate the student account.

Steps to Reproduce

Go to Cursor’s student discount page.
Complete the SheerID verification as a student.
Receive the confirmation email from SheerID.
Click on the “Apply Discount” button in the Cursor account settings.
Observe that the button shows a loading animation but never finishes the process.

Same here, did anyone solve the issue?

Same here, my univeristy does not provide me with an .edu email. I feel it’s a bit unfair since i am a student and cannot get the discount.

Same issue happening with me. I have an .edu mail, and I am logged in with that, but I am having endless loading when clicking on it.

Same here with a vilid student email. The cursor supporter ([email protected]) is kinda unhelpful with this case.

Same verified but when i click on the link i can’t apply the discount. the screen on Cursor - The AI Code Editor just has a spinning loading icon
