Gemini's buggy 74% student discount offer pushes a frustrated user toward Claude

A university student reports a frustrating Gemini upsell experience: after his student subscription ended, a 74% discount offer kept flashing. The first two times the link didn't work; the third time it opened and showed redemption valid until around Feb 2027, so he planned to redeem later — then the offer vanished again the next day.
He says he's used to Gemini for coursework and didn't want to switch, but this behavior is seriously making him consider migrating to Claude.
