About the student ID authentication system

I have a question regarding Spotify's student discount. I just applied for Spotify's student discount (I entered the name of my university and sent a photo of my student ID). A few minutes later, I received an email from Sheer (SheerID Verification) saying, ``Let's proceed with Spotify authentication.'' I received an email with a button to ``Complete authentication.'' However, even if I press [Complete Authentication], I am redirected to the screen where I have to send a photo of my student ID card. *I repeated this twice, but it was the same. I tried again in the browser (private mode), but as of now I am not receiving any emails. What should I do about this? Thank you for your reply. ※I am Japanese, so I wrote this text using Google Translate.

Seems like they're tightening things up to make sure only students get that sweet discount. Personally, I get the need for it – keeps things fair, right? As for the service itself, well, it's a bit of a hassle having to verify every year, but I guess it beats paying full price. Some folks are concerned about privacy, which is fair enough, but it sounds like Spotify's trying to keep our info safe. So I used this identity validation service from https://www.idanalyzer.com/ What do you all think about it? Worth the few extra steps to save some cash, or do you miss the simpler days of just signing up? Let's chat!
