What the offers include
Spotify's page says Premium Student is for students at an eligible accredited higher education institution and currently includes access to a Hulu plan, subject to eligibility. Apple's page says students get Apple Music with access to Apple TV. Amazon's page offers a six-month trial of Prime for Young Adults before the reduced price. Walmart's page groups Walmart+ Student with Walmart+ Assist, for qualifying government assistance recipients, at the same half price. Peacock's page states the student rate in its answers to common questions; it has changed between copies, so this site gives the regular price only.
