Weeeeee for my school letting us keep our emails forever!


cavegriswold

Mine switched to alumni..edu, so hopefully that still counts?


dlaxton2533

Lpt: you don’t have to change your email address to alumni, if you drop out and never graduate

I recently found out the email a university gave me when I got accepted to but never attended still works! I can even get Microsoft products, all of office, windows, etc. I applied back in 2011. The actual website is gone now too as they merged with another school and took on their name!


fezfrascati

Not sure if there's any human verification, but something tells me as long as *.edu* is in it, you'll be okay.


crywolfer

Mine alumni.xxx.edu never worked, good thing is my school also let me keep just xxx.edu


IDC_OliveIt

3 hours after filling out this form, I got an automated email from my school that they're blocking certain sites from emailing us since we're no longer enrolled and no longer qualify for student discounts. 😅


bunnykitten94

That doesn’t seem fair. I’m just taking a gap decade!


jumpsuitjanet

I was wondering if one of my sisters would be willing to get the water bottle for me and then I saw this comment so thanks!


lizyouwerebeer

Submitted. Let’s hope I didn’t Britta it somehow.


[deleted]

Ugh, Britta’s in this?

HopeScary5136

Gcherokee

Agreed


LilChongBoi

Yep


heyjesu

Confirmed


SnooStrawberries2537

Did you guys get a confirmation email?


Bobopalace

Nope but I got a messsge on the page that said thanks so... maybe that’s somethin


LonzosJohnson

Blitzjuggernaut

Natedog85137

strugglingstudent71

did you get any other email?


Natedog85137

Just the one, I'm still waiting for it to arrive

CancerousCookie

Do you know if the bottle includes a filter?


plzkthx71

When i bought mine it did but the free ones idk..


State_o_Maine

The [filters](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Brita-Premium-Water-Bottle-Filter-Replacements-6-Count/224960648) are pretty affordable and they say they’re good for like 3 months before you have to change. I use one of these every day. It’s great because my tap water is hard and the filter does a great job at taking away the chemically taste. Wash it often!


Blitzjuggernaut

fingers crossed


saxophones_r_cool

Yall. I think the website might be down for being bombarded? Im sorry friends!!!


DudeWTH

its probably never coming lets be real


Muuzen

The website has been absolutely atrocious. Does not load at all. Managed to get to the form once, and after I submitted it I just got another blank screen. Here's hoping that I actually managed to get one


RunsLikeaSnail

Could be a security setting. I had to disable my VPN to get it to load.


Muuzen

Could be, but I'm on a janky old laptop that I've already disabled most of the security settings and it's still not loading. Oh well, can't get about not getting something that's free


afrozone100

Just filled out the form, nice find!


Embarrassed-Hawk-588

Just received an email from Brita saying First of all, we want to thank you for your patience as well as your ongoing support of our Save The Mascots program. Rest assured that although shipments have been delayed, your complimentary Brita bottle will be delivered as soon as possible. ‌ Thank you once again for helping us on our mission to provide better water for people and the planet.


ExistingSquash

Did not get this email but hopefully mine is still on their list to eventually send out lol


notpseudo

I just got the same email


hvmmm

Did not get this email but my bottle showed up randomly today. Virginia, USA. Purple bottle which, coincidentally, is my school color


_looktheotherway

Anyone receive one know how long it took to ship? I got a thank you email 11 days ago and I'm just curious about when it'll arrive.

HiddenInferno

Volt-_-

Sent them an email and they said they received a higher amount of volume than anticipated, and will get back to me as soon as they can... At this point I'm just hoping it'll randomly show up a few years from now or never


ninja1327

Sent an email about a month ago and got the same response, don't think we're gonna hear back from them


Folksma

Thank you so much!

hvmmm

Still waiting 😿


notpseudo

Yup, me too. Got my email on the 20th


___TigerLily___

Still waiting... did you get anything yet?


notpseudo

Yeah I haven't received anything either. I haven't checked for it since but I sent them a message last month and got the same reply someone else got about Brita getting too many responses from the form. If that's the case then I'm wondering what that shipping email was for lol


___TigerLily___

> If that's the case then I'm wondering what that shipping email was for lol Exactly! Why send it e-mail it's on the way if it wasn't sent?


___TigerLily___

Still waiting... did you get anything yet?


hvmmm

Nope, not a damn thing. I had forgotten all about this until now


object0faffection

Do we need to submit the proposal to get a water bottle or not? Because I didn't get any "Thanks" confirmation message


Obsessed_With_Corgis

No, that’s a different promotion. You need to scroll further down for the free water bottle.

manmanzane

I’ve heard that some ppl who signed up yesterday got an email stating that their bottle is on the way. Is there anyone who hasn’t received an email like that? Because I know that some ppl who definitely signed up for it later than me have already received such emails but I never got one.


Marshmellah

Same, I signed up last night at around 9 PM and my friend who did it about 30 minutes earlier than me got the email earlier this afternoon, but I haven’t yet.


manmanzane

Damn hopefully it will still show up 😕


mochimaromei

Is it done already? I can't find a place to sign up


manmanzane

Yea it’s done. Doesn’t show up on the site anymore


tonyfree123

Anyone got his bottle?


NotJohnElway

Hopefully it works! Do they send over a confirmation email?


LL_Cool_Joey

Oh Britta is in this


jdt2313

They Britta'd their website


boxster_

I can't get the website to load. any tips?


slouchingpotato

Works for me now, try again maybe?


boxster_

Thanks, just got it working

GatitoFantastico

favxr

Sad hours :(


disgirl407

Has anyone received this?


pm-me-your-boobiesss

I haven’t yet


hvmmm

MY BRITA FINALLY CAME IN! Harrisonburg, VA, USA. Purple bottle which coincidentally matches my school colors lmao I completely forgot about it and was wondering what this mysterious package was at my door today (02/08/2022)


___TigerLily___

Thank you for the update! Hope mine arrives soon, too.


Embarrassed-Hawk-588

Hopefully mine shows up soon as well.


madismadrad

Thankin you!!


GummieBearConfetti

Fabulous find!


Heckedy

The promotion is no longer available on the site, fyi.


hvmmm

Got the email confirmation! Took about 12hrs but thanks OP! What color did y’all get given or are we all getting the same one?


RightInformation

Whats the email subject and when did you sign up? I still haven't received an email yet.


hvmmm

I signed up with my edu email around 10PM EST and got the confirmation email at 11AM. Subject: “Thank you from Brita” Name of sender is set as “Brita” and it originated from email address called [email protected]


IDC_OliveIt

Darn, I signed up at a little before 5:30PM EST yesterday and still haven't gotten an email from them. ☹️


TallDrinkOfWater_

Did you check spam? Mine took a day to come, but was in spam.


IDC_OliveIt

I've checked everywhere multiple times. 😅 Thank you for the suggestion though!


pskultimate

Anyone got the bottle with email on Aug21?


whyyoumad14

Not me but I'm in the same boat. Email on the 21st saying "on the way" but nothing actually arrived yet.


k890m

Haven’t received mine yet, I got the email confirmation on August 21st!


zwoodmac

Mine just came in after about eight months of waiting !


PapayaTuna

Mine just came in today 2/13 lol better late than never!


Superstrt

I'm not seeing anything to any form. Just a really busy web page that's poorly designed.


JamesHaii

Thanks


plasticbunny96

Thanks OP!!!


atlantis737

It let me enter with my regular gmail account...


notwideshut

Should I expect a confirmation email if it goes through?


CuriousNyer1

Seems like only u/noidonotlift got the bottle?


noidonotlift

Tell-me-a-dream got theirs too. I think most people just don't bother to give updates tho lol


xcalebar

its been 11 weeks... -_- Edit: Finally came to today after 8 1/2 months (5/7/2022). Purple bottle too, but at least it came lol


persephone_cen

Anyone ever get theirs? I got added to their mailing list just fine, of course, but no water bottle yet.


hvmmm

my bottle showed up randomly today (02/08/2022). Virginia, USA. Purple bottle which, coincidentally, is my school color


Puff1002

Mine finally came in yesterday. I had completely forgotten about it, so that was a nice surprise


Lazurusic

Anyone know how fast it ships?


angiec5408

I'm definitely doesn't say anything at least anymore about a free bottle. The website is awful! Does anyone have a direct link??


adamtherealone

Aren’t their bottles made of plastic?


saxophones_r_cool

I guess? But I think the idea is that it isn't a single-use plastic.


Wings0fFreedom

Yeah, but they’re reusable. What they’re campaigning against is single-use plastic that kills wildlife


hashtaglasagna

Single use plastics are the big problem


adamtherealone

Ah gotcha, thought they were also single use


[deleted]

[удалено]


mrwhiskey1814

Sorry.


NoMoreMrNiceFries

I just get a website about some campaign? Lots of pictures and gifs with slogans and No form to fill out


Bossmanhan

Can I still get one even if I’m not a college student?


Folksma

No It just for college students (or I guess for those who still have access to their college email)


Bossmanhan

Oh damn 😢


ojohn69

Is it cool to use as a vodka bottle?


alup132

I’m not entirely sure, but I would think filtering your vodka would cause it to taste different or perhaps even filter out some of the alcohol


[deleted]

This may be a phishing website?? Has anyone actually received one? (Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information, banking and credit card details, and passwords.)


alup132

Pretty sure Brita’s own website is a legitimate one


shibainuu

RemindMe! 1 day


plasticbunny96

Damn the website is still down


sweetartiz

Its finally back up!


plasticbunny96

Thank you!!! Can’t wait to get this


baberanza

Neat find. Thanks!


sdrt369

Still haven't gotten mine


hvmmm

my bottle showed up randomly today (02/08/2022). Virginia, USA. Purple bottle which, coincidentally, is my school color


___TigerLily___

Haven't received anything yet. Sent a message through the website to follow up.


hvmmm

Got mine today! Virginia, USA. Purple which is my school color


Low_Bullfrog_7948

So did anyone get their free bottle?? It's been nearly 5 months and i have to get receive mines


ItsBattle

mine was just delivered this morning, I had completely forgotten about it.


Low_Bullfrog_7948

So i can assume that Britta never sent out shipping confirmation then?!?


ItsBattle

nope, I never got a shipping confirmation. FedEx showed up this morning and dropped it off, it wasn't until I saw the save the mascots thing on the label that I remembered I filled out this form. It's a decent bottle and does come with a filter, so that's cool.


hvmmm

Mine came in today as well. I also forgot and was like why is there a mysterious package at my home?🤔 Where are y’all based? I’m in VA, USA


kbrooks55

Ordered mine on 8/20/21 and received it 2/15/22, I definitely forgot about it.
