If you have a Gmail account, it won't work for this. You have to sign up with a .edu email account and verify that it's you.


I used my regular gmail/amazon account and it just had me add my .edu email. I think most comm will come through my gmail.


This is what I did last year when buying books. They used my .edu address to verify that I was at a university, but sent notifications to my Gmail.

My university has since moved to Microsoft's Live service- retaining the .edu extension. I will try to see if the plus(+) notion works with it.


Oh. I already get a fair amount of amazon email to my gmail and I've already got filters set up, so if they send more I'll be prepared!
