Gemini Pro Student Renewal Bait-and-Switch: Price Discrepancy Reported
Key-Blood-7953 · reddit · 2026-08-07
A Gemini Pro user reported a potential bait-and-switch tactic regarding their student offer renewal. As their current subscription neared expiration, a pop-up offered a 12-month continuation for $4.99/month.
However, upon clicking the link and proceeding to checkout, the actual amount shown was significantly higher than advertised. This discrepancy raises questions about the transparency of Google's subscription mechanisms.
